Spring is a good time to visit Valley of Fire. I used to pass through the park on my way to and from Southern Utah in the fall and spring, and in 2012 +Lori Hibbett and I met a bunch of G+ photographers there in early April, but I think we'll try late March to revisit the area this year.
This presentation was mostly auto-created by the Story function on G+. To find your Stories, drop down your Home menu (blue icon towards the upper right of your G+ screen), select Photos,Drop down your Home menu (blue icon towards the upper right of your G+ screen), select Photos, then drop down the menu at the top, and the first item on the list is Stories. Select that, and you'll see the Stories you have to choose from. to edit, then share.
Basically The Story function looks at all of your G+/Picasa photos (and Blogger and Panoramio if the accounts are linked), and it identifies trips or events, and puts them in the format you see when you follow a link like the one I shared. The owner of the Story has the ability to select "Edit" to choose different photos from the trip.
If you want to add photos, and they're not already visible when you select Edit, you can put them on G+/Picasa and ask for the Story to be regenerated, or you can tell a G+ Photos process to back up photos from your phone (I don't) or from your Windows desktop, and it will try to create stories as photos are added to those locations (each private until you share them I assume).
So I added folders to my Windows desktop specifically to have the photos found for potential Stories. I think it had 40+ potential Stories for me, going all the way back to trips I took in 2004. Then drop down the menu at the top of your Photos screen, and the first item on the list is Stories. Select that, and you'll see the Stories you have to choose from. to edit, then share if you want.

What camera equipment and post-processing were involved in this wonderful production?
+Stephen Syputa Thanks. In early 2012 I was using a Canon 5D Mark II and post-processing with Adobe Lightroom 2 or 3.
Piękne super gratulacje…i pozdrowienia….
+Jeff Sullivan Fine equipment, to say the least. Two other questions (final, I promise): What lensing & time of day did you find most revealing for this 'complicated' location?
Beautiful pictur
Jeff I love your photos I will like to join you on one of your trips when you near to Las Vegas
Please let me know
Nice
Very nice story. especially the beautiful photos of wildflowers that grow in impossible conditions and wild animals find a blade of grass that means a lot to them. Motif is a great full moon to photos, also the colors and shapes of rocks. Photos town us back to real life. That nature is the greatest artist. +Jeff Sullivan
