Natural History Photographs


The first day we had Kanab as our home base we made a round trip to Lake Powell and back. Where the sandstone is sufficiently weathered, dunes can form, a habitat I always have had a penchant for. Just above the shores of the artificial lake Powell, there is some dune habitat, which I explored for its plants.
