America the Beautiful. Happy Birthday.

Great Basin National Park — Back Side of a 2013 United States Quarter. This is one of my favorite National Parks, and probably one of the least visited. Some of the Bristlecone Pines in the park are nearly 5000 years old. Image taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 60 mm f/2.4 macro lens (ISO 200, 60 mm, f/2.8, 1/60 sec, flash). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 8, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.

United States 2011 Commemorative Quarter:  Glacier National Park, Montana

The newest of the National Park Commemorative Quarters, this one for Glacier National Park in Montana is out and in circulation. This is the first one I got as change at a grocery store. Two macro images — one using ambient and incandescent light, and the other converted to B&W.
