I'm in the process of trying to merge my two pages (this one and the newer experimental one) into one page. Whether the merge is successful or not depends on whether the FB gods go through with it, which is always a gamble. The new page address will be facebook.com/gleeshotphotos if everything works.

In the mean time, here are some photos which I posted in the past few weeks that you may have missed, since my posts have been reaching even fewer people than usual. Locations include Mt Rainier National Park, Crested Butte Colorado, and Utah's Albion Basin.

Despite the steep hike to get there, this vantage point of Mt Rainier became one of my favorites in the park to visit as the sun went down. It has a little bit of everything, with a bustling creek, large boulders, wildflowers, and lush greenery. This was one of my favorite shots of the area...so much so that I have a print of it hanging on my wall.

Horses accidentally became a theme in several of the photos I took last year. I always knew there was a stable for horse riding in Crested Butte (Colorado). What I didn't know until last year was that they let the horses run wild and free after hours to graze on the grass and wildflowers. I liked this image of a solitary horse amongst wildflowers at sunset overlooking the valley below. If you look closely you can see some other horses on the right in the distance.

Wildflowers and a sunset in Utah's Albion Basin a few years ago

One of my favorite scenes in Mt Rainier National Park was along "Lodi Creek", which was surrounded by mostly pink wildflowers I've posted one of these photos before on here, but not the other one, which looks upstream as the water cascades down tiered rocks. There was a small portion of slightly damp land in the middle of the creek, which I was able to stand on and take photos in both directions.

Gothic, Colorado, is an old historic mining town outside of Crested Butte. When I first visited it about a decade ago, it only had a few small cabins in use by the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab, which studies the environment in the area. Over the years their operation has increased a bit in size with more cabins and a small visitor center for all the summer tourists, with many college students spending summers there. This photo is from the summer of last year.

If you've been on Facebook today, you've probably seen a million pictures of purple and green skies from the Aurora last night. I may be one of the only photographers who wasn't racing around trying to see it. (I didn't learn until today that it wasn't visible to the naked eye for many, and that for most people it was only visible via a cell phone lens/shot.) So instead of the Aurora, here's another type of colored sky --- a sunset shot from last fall taken at the colorful foothills below Mt Timpanogos.

There have been a never-ending series of snow squalls moving in and out of the Utah mountains today. It reminds me of the spring snow squalls I once experienced in the mountains of Colorado one May. This photo was taken on Molas Pass in Colorado, and was taken at the same time as the cover photo on this page.

And now for something slightly off topic. As I've been mentioning on and off for over a year now, Facebook has made it virtually impossible for people like myself and anyone else with a small business page to get anything actually seen. The reason I've been having to use the "followers" tag in many of my posts is because otherwise the few of you who actually see what I post would be even fewer. If the social media options weren't so limited out there, I'd have abandoned FB by now.

The "people" who are flourishing on Meta's platforms, however, are scammers. They are prolific in FB groups --- having even started many --- where they are trying to sell things like shirts their non-existent children "made", posting AI-generated fake imagery claiming they're actual photos, stealing other people's photos and claiming they're their own, hacking into accounts, etc, etc. Unfortunately, many people on Facebook are still completely oblivious to everything going on, and are actually liking and responding to this stolen/nonsense content posted by these scam accounts, which only makes them more popular.

Here in Utah, an arts festival account (Park Silly Sunday Market) with 32,000 followers was hacked into last November and turned into a nonsensical "We Love Jesus" page, which is now posting AI generated images of Jesus --- because, apparently, Jesus is a fan of Facebook criminals and scammers (who knew?). Then today I came across this video of a woman (link attached) who had a FB account with 117,000 followers whose account was hacked into recently. In both cases, trying to contact FB support has been an exercise in futility for them --- as it is when you try to contact them about anything. To make things even worse, then these scammers who hacked into these accounts contact the original account owners claiming that they're some outside organization who can get their account back for a fee. The account owners are desperate enough to pay these fees, only to be ripped off by the same people who stole their accounts to begin with.

Anyway, that's my rant on the moral depravity which is Meta these days. Be on the lookout for these scam accounts and report them, as they've completely infested Meta.

This foggy autumn photo from last year is one of my all time favorites. I had been to this location on Mt Timpanogos many times before, but this was the first time horses were in this field. I stood there for about 30 minutes trying to be a "horse whisperer", hoping they would pose in some interesting way, and about 10 minutes after I started taking photos, they did this --- standing there with their heads in profile for several minutes.

This post contains 3 photos. One is a photo I haven't posted before from last summer of the road to Gothic, Colorado (and the appropriately named Gothic Mountain). The other 2 are photos I posted earlier in the week, which, thanks to the clowns at Facebook, you probably never saw --- a fall scene from atop a mountain pass in Utah (Guardsman Pass) and a sunset scene from Bryce Canyon.
