This was taken at a Bluegrass Festival in Ronceverte WV. The instructor and Master was playing and his 2 year old student joined him on stage

I visited a local rookery and spotted this beautiful creature with full breeding plumage on "display" for all the potential mates.

An old stump covered in beautiful, colorful fungus

We stopped for lunch and these beauties were growing near the side of the road. The brilliant color caught my eye and luckily I had my camera.

Alaska..a desert in the Yukon. Sand and snow!

It took me almost an hour of following this little guy around so he would land long enough for me to get this photo.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on a trip to explore some of the western states in the US. I was standing on a hill overlooking a valley in the state of Arizona and my goal was to get some photos of the gorgeous red rock mountains and the Colorado River below. My husband said "look down" and then I spotted this guy. I don't like lizards or snakes but I just had to get a shot of him. It was almost like he was "posing" for me!

Time

It was mid-afternoon and we had just left an area with snow so I was happy to see all the sunshine on the red rock mountains and this little guy.

Lighting

Just good old fashioned sunshine

Equipment

I used a Canon Rebel T6

Inspiration

My husband told me to "look down" because I was just about to step on the lizard.

Editing

No fancy post-processing other than cropping it

In my camera bag

I'm fairly new to photography so I don't really carry much in my camera bag other than the 18-55mm and a 75-300mm lenses and a cleaning kit.

Feedback

Since I'm a novice photographer, I don't really have any advice. Sometimes I think it just being in the right place at the right time. Of course a gorgeous sunny day helps as well. There is so much beauty in the US just ready for us to capture.
