The Glory of Fall Color comes to Zion and the Markagunt Plateau

Over the last few weeks we've experienced the wonder of fall coming in all its glory--first starting in mid-October at higher elevations around Cedar Breaks National Monument on the Markagunt Plateau--then working down-slope to the valleys and canyons around Zion National Park in mid-November and even around our home in Rockville.  I never tire of photographing of this spectacle of Nature at its best!

Below are a sample of some of the photos I took and farther below are links to ALBUMS on FACEBOOK that your are welcome to explore and share.  If you or your friends would like framed/matted prints to purchase or digital copies at higher resolutions please contact me through my business and academic website--GeoBob's Photography and Consulting (GPC).  Email: geobobford@gmail.com

Please let people know of my work and invite them to my Photography website or Business Facebook page which not only focuses on my photography but my environmental and geoscience/mapping consulting work around the world.  I'm open for business (see about my recent international consulting in the DRC/Congo HERE--helping to rehabilitate two parks--I also took some beautiful pictures there you may enjoy!  Thanks.
