Shutterbug Photo of the Day

Our Shutterbug Photo of the Day by Alena Nicholas is a vivid and painterly landscape featuring lush vegetation and rugged stone peaks.

“Desert colors greet the morning in the Southwest,” writes Nicholas.

See a larger version of the photo in the Shutterbug Photo of the Day gallery here.
