Description: Chasing the Cumbres and Toltec by Debra Martz I've taken this scenic steam engine train ride from Antonito, CO to Chama, NM on several different occasions. It is a spectacular day filled with awesome views as you travel over high trestles, through tunnels, and along narrow shelves above deep gorges. At other times, while visiting Chama, NM, I've joined the enthusiastic "train chasers" to capture the train in action. I highly recommend the scenic ride but chasing the trains is tons of fun, too! ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved
Description: Zion Riverwalk Hike by Debra Martz This hike is a two mile round trip that follows the river. Where this hike ends, the Narrows hike begins. If you are willing to get your feet wet...and often deeper...you can continue if the weather permits. We hiked to where the Narrows begins but only imagined what it would be like to continue. Two days earlier we were here when heavy rains began and most of the trails in Zion were closed due to flash floods. Copyright by Debra Martz 20180823-DSC_4326.N
Description: Looking Up from Lower Antelope Canyon - Painterly by Debra Martz The views from the floor of the canyon were amazing with the multitudes of textures and swirls and layers of canyon walls that have been cut by water and wind over time. And the different colors due to light were unbelievable! Digitally enhanced with a painterly effect. ©Debra Martz 20180830-DSC_6663-E2T Arizona and Digital Art Photography Gallery/Collection
Description: Simple Elegance by Debra Martz Being near the water from just before dawn to 30 minutes after sunrise presented me with some of the most beautiful moments with the egrets I had ever seen. I watched as they skillfully hunted with new movements/techniques I had not witnessed until this particular morning. Those moves often showed me just how poised and graceful these Snowy Egrets can be!

Description: Giant Sunflower and Bear Welcome by Debra Martz While spending a week in La Veta, Colorado in late September, I passed this sunflower a number of times. I had never seen a sunflower taller than the roofline of a house! Finally, drove intentionally there to stop for a photo. And, of course, it is bear country so I included the bear welcome in the composition. On private property, so I shot from the sidewalk from my eye level though it would have been neat to shoot from directly under it. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved 20210919-DSC_5333
Description: Mourning Dove on the Wire by Debra Martz Most everyone in the US has this bird but it was just sitting there so pretty with the split white and blue background I just had to get its picture! This was near the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas, Texas....just around the corner and across the street. I usually walk over to where there is a wetland area before leaving the birding center. Didn't see anything close until I headed back to my car and saw this dove. The mourning dove, Zenaida macroura, is the most abundant and widespread dove in the birds of north America.
Description: Lone Rock - Lake Powell - Utah by Debra Martz On our return to Lake Powell along hwy 89 and after hiking the Toadstool Trail, I noticed a sign...Lone Rock Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, so a left turn was made to go check it out. What I found was this massive, monolithic rock, THE Lone Rock, dominating the view of this part of Lake Powell. We discovered this free-standing sandstone rock is the namesake of one of the most popular beaches in Glen Canyon as it is one of the few spots that you can drive to the water's edge and primitive camp on the shoreline. And on this day the shoreline was filled with RVs of all types mixed with tent campers, too. Copyright Debra Martz 20180830-DSC_6640-Et
Description: Phillips 66 With Ethyl Woolaroc Oklahoma by Debra Martz I had forgotten all about the years of fuel with Ethyl until I saw it on this antique gasoline pump!! A 1927 vintage cottage style station which was built at the Bartlesville, OK airport and in service until 1948, is now located just inside the Woolaroc entrance. Late in 2014 it was moved to the grounds of Woolaroc and a short while later it underwent a full restoration. In 1925 oilman Frank Phillips built a ranch retreat, Woolaroc, on 3,700 acres in the Osage Hills in northern Oklahoma. Today it is a wildlife preserve, home to many species of native and exotic animals and includes a large museum with an outstanding collection of western art and artifacts, Native American ma...

Description: Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel by Debra Martz The Golden-mantled ground squirrel is a small squirrel like a chipmunk, with grayish-brown fur and two white stripes edged with black stripes. With that said, the first time I saw one of these at Briyce Canyon, I thought it was a Chipmunk. When I started trying to find out which variety, I discovered it was a squirrel. So four years later I see another one, this time in Chama New Mexico but knew it was not a Chipmunk this time. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved 20220915-DSC_4154-Edit.tif
Description: The San Miguel Mission in Socorro New Mexico had fallen into such bad shape that it was closed in 2010. In November 2013, the Conrad Hilton Foundation awarded a $1.1 million grant. It is now restored, beautiful and an active Catholic Church. Missions were important parts of the trade routes traveled by Spanish and Indian alike. During the Spanish colonial period in New Mexico, El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro (Royal Road of the Interior), was the major trade route between Mexico City and Santa Fe in New Mexico. The Royal Road passed the village of the Pilabó, home to the Piro Indians which is near today's Socorro, NM. The Piro met Spanish settlers when Oñate's expedition stopped there, and later a Franciscan mission was started in ...

Description: Roseate Spoonbill On the Move ©Debra Martz. I had been watching quite a few of the spoonbills for awhile but most were just at rest on some logs in the water. After I moved on, I looked back to see that a few had decided rest time was over and time to get back moving and hunting. Captured along the 4800 ft boardwalk at South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center the last day of February. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20230228-DSC_6897.NEF

Description: I enjoyed an early morning walk on Bourbon Street and other French Quarter Streets nearby when there were no crowds. While on this stroll, I took pictures of my favorite signs and though this is not a sign, this shows the iconic lanterns found throughout much of the French Quarter. In Topaz software, I used several filters to enhance the lanterns. I have a colorful version, too. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collections: "New Orleans Louisiana" "Digital Art Photography" 202220210512-DSC_4664-Edit.tif
Description: Rio Grande Gorge Bridge Near Taos New Mexico I've crossed this bridge many times over the years, both by vehicle and by foot. There area sidewalks on both sides of the bridge plus a few lookout points where it widens to allow one to stop and let others pass by safely. The bridge is located approximately 10 miles NW of Taos on hwy 64 offering scenic views across the 1280 feet span. The Rio Grande Gorge is approximately 600 feet deep in this area with the bridge 650' above the gorge. This shot is from the trail located near the visitors center. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: "New Mexico" 20210414-DSC_3156
