I Slowed Down to Take in What Was All Around Me in Everglades National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around and exploring the Anhinga Trail, I captured this image with a view to a nearby pond and freshwater slough. The setting is situated to the north, a sawgrass prairie extending beyond. One of the numerous Double-Crested Cormorants I observed that afternoon is present in the image’s middle right.

Letting Nature Pamper Me with Snapshots of Guadalupe Mountains National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the north while taking in views across this west Texas landscape present from a roadside pullout along Texas State Highway 54. Based on the PeakVisor app on my iPhone, identified points and peaks are Shumard Peak, Guadalupe Peak, El Capitan, and Hunter Peak, from left to right.

Hike Earlier...Or Late...Whenever! (Petrified Forest National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the north while taking in views across the badlands and eroded formations present on a hike to Onyx Bridge in Petrified Forest National Park. To say that the colors present weren’t amazing might be a little bit of an understatement!

Mountains and a Lake (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at a roadside parking area along the Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive with a view looking to the north. This is in Banff National Park. With this image, I took advantage of a clearing in some nearby evergreens to capture an image with a look beyond to Mount Astley with the waters of Lake Minnewanka below.

Enjoying a Late Morning Walk in Death Valley National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the north while walking and taking in views across the many dunes ridges to my front with the scattered bushes and plant-life. This was located at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes area of Death Valley National Park.

Life Has Become a Snowy Dream Wonderland by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the north while taking in views of a snowy landscape along the Hidden Valley Nature Trail in Joshua Tree National Park. This was another image captured where I liked the layering present with the foreground and it's snowy landscape leading up to the rock formation in the distance. I decided to minimize the overcast and overcast skies as I felt it really didn't add much to the image.
