Denali National Park
I re-edited this one to give it more of a feel for what the landscape actually looked like. It was a dark and gloomy day with sporadic breaks in clouds when the sun would shine through. The first edit bothered me because I felt that the lighting was all wrong. The image seemed too bright and cheery. The tall mountain in the distance is Mount Mather. It stands at 12,123 feet tall. I was pretty lucky to get the light rays before they disappeared and the rain started.
Taking pictures of the wildflowers and bees I noticed that this little guy wasn't moving. After watching it a little longer I realized that this bee died right in the middle of collecting nectar. Just to be sure I gave him a little nudge. It didn't move at all. It remained firmly grasped to the flower.
