Repose . . .

Lichen covered boulders resting peacefully atop Mount Scott (second highest peak in the refuge) at the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. The granite, rhyolite, and gabbro boulders in the refuge date back between 330 to 290 million years ago. After photographing these ancient boulders, I took time to savor the opportunity to be up-close and personal with these magnificent, wonders of nature!

Camera talk: Nikon Z9 camera/Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4 @24mm, f/11 1/500sec, exposure bias -0.7 step. The more I use the 24-120mm, the more I fall in love with it! An incredibly sharp lens with a well-balanced focal range for photographing a wide variety of subjects.
