Fly blown mint?

Here’s a macro shot of an Australian Blow Fly on a mint flower. This was taken with a 1:1 Tamron macro lens on a Nikon D50 at f/32 and 1/60 seconds.

Angels Landing - Zion National Park, Utah

Here’s a panorama from Angels Landing in the Zion National Park. This walk is about 4 hours and the best part of the walk is a ledge 3 foot wide and about 10 foot long with a 1,200 foot drop off on one side and a 900 foot drop off on the other. Here’s the view from the top.  Click the photo for a larger image.

Zion National Park - Utah

BlackHat and DefCon are over and it’s time for a cool change. We hired a car and drove about three and half hours to Zion National Park in Utah. Here’s a photo of the moon rise last night over the mountains.

We are on the way to hire a inner tube and float down the river for a couple of hours. Awesome place.

More preparation for Black Hat today. Here’s a couple of photos from our excursions.
