Dancing Fog

A rarity in Colorado, inversion on the Front Range lends to fog mysteriously dancing through the hills creating dramatic contrasts.

Elk Spring

Two make elks checking in with each other to make sure they are keeping warm in a Spring snowstorm on Lookout Mountain, Colorado. Bull elk shed their antlers ever year usually from February to April. As testosterone levels decrease osteoclasts cells form where the skull and antler meet. These cells reabsorb calcium from the antler, weakening the joint between the skull and antler until the antler drops. The fallen antler provide calcium, protein and potassium for smaller mammals. The bull elks quickly begin growing new ones.

Where The Buffalo Roam

A buffalo roams on a snowy spring day in Genesee, Colorado. Amazing this is the last day of April. This is the only city-owned park in the world where wild Buffalo roam free. They are direct descendants from wild buffalo brought from Yellowstone when bison were on the brink of extinction due to hunting. The Denver park was established in 1914.

Transformation

Amazing what dynamic light can do to water. The golden hour in Waterton Canyon transforming the river.

Inversion Blanket

Sunrise on 12-30-2017 was one of the finest I've ever witnessed in Colorado. Denver was wrapped by a cold inversion blanket creating an absolute masterpiece. This one will stick with me.

Gray's and Torrey's

Sunset over Grey's and Torrey's as seen from the summit of Mt. Evans.

Agate

An abandoned farm and homestead in Agate, Colorado. Relics of the pioneer days. Oftentimes overlooked in Colorado, the plains hold immense beauty.

First Flatiron

First Flatiron in Boulder 3.27.2018. A personal favorite. As I have gained more and more experience in photography, it's increasingly more difficult to capture a fresh, unique and artistic photo I love...but this is one of them (looks like a painting). It's ethereal. I waited an hour and a half for a 10 second clearing and had the camera ready. Patience paid off. Colorado, you continue to inspire me.

South Boulder Creek

Eastbound

A BNSF freight train heading east near Barr Lake out of Denver. BNSF has over 8,000 locomotives with 1,400 trains on the go daily keeping America running. Quite efficient, 1 ton of freight is moved 500 miles on 1 gallon of diesel.

Mt. Evans Sunrise

Light strikes the top of Mt. Evans from the east on a winter day in February, 2017. Mt. Evans is the highest paved road in North America, but it is close throughout the winter.

Hanging Lake

Hanging Lake is a true gem in Colorado. This travertine lake is a relatively easy hike from Glenwood Canyon and the views don't leave you hanging.

Hawkeye

A red-tailed hawk departing from its perch to hunt on Lookout Mountain, Colorado. These birds hunt from a high point on a tree , then swoop down to catch prey with their powerful talons. Like all raptors, these hawks have incredible vision. They see into the ultraviolet range beyond human abilities. Incredible animals right in our Colorado backyard.

Cheap Seats

The cheapest way to enjoy Red Rocks. Hike Mt. Morrison and enjoy the sounds and beautiful views on a Spring or Summer evening.

Tough to beat the sounds of crunching leaves in the Fall as you walk in the crisp air.

Home On The Range

A buffalo grazes at sunset at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Refuge in Commerce City, Colorado. This iconic animal embodies the western spirit.

Tweety Bird

Quietly ambling around the streets of Idaho Springs, Colorado after the first snowfall. Just me and my camera. There are such a palpable history and sense of character in this town.
