New Mexico Trip Oct 2025

A group of nine, which included seven members, made the trip to northwestern New Mexico for four+ days of photography, coordinated by Lacey Horner. Lacey mapped out times and iconic locations. Thank you, Lacey!
           Government closures threw a wrench in our plans for some places, but fortunately plenty was accessible and photoshoots were part of the road trip coming and returning.
           We found ourselves in four different states — AZ, UT, NM, CO!  Locations included Monument Valley, Mexican Hat, Four Corners, Mesa Verde National Park, Durango, Ship Rock, Bisti Badlands (Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness), Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon.
           Thanks to everyone who submitted images for the Poly Flickr site. The album is at  https://www.flickr.com/gp/polyphotoclub/26d4q6GR2C

Poly Death Valley Trip Feb 2024

A group of 15, which included 12 members, made the trip to Death Valley for three days of photography, coordinated by Kathy McGaffigan. Kathy mapped out times and iconic locations but members also ventured out on their own, which is what we do. Thank you, Kathy!
      It was an amazing trip at just the right time to see kayakers on Lake Manly in Badwater Basin at 282 ft below sea level. A few members went wading and Judy MacLean brought her wings for some classic reflection photos.
