Colorado Photographer / Author / Wildlife Advocate | Steven W. Krull
Renowned Colorado wildlife photographer and author advocating for our wild living legacy
We just returned from a few days photographing the elk rut in Rocky Mountain National Park. The last few times Kevin and I have visited the park, including an adventure to Yellowstone, we were thinking we were probably too early for the full experience. This time we thought delaying the trip until October might result in cooler weather, smaller crowds, and perhaps a more vigorous rut season.
I have to say, this has been a spendid autumn, as fall colors go in the high country of Colorado. Sometimes we get too much rain and sometimes we get an early winter storm that blows the leaves all the way to Nebraska. But this year we have been blessed with warm calm days, and the colors are fabulous.
I'm pleased to announce that I have published Episode Three of The War on Wildlife, the third novel in my series of historical fiction wildlife and romantic adventure stories.
Aspen leaves in many parts of the state of Colorado are reaching peak color this weekend. A brief excursion around the Cripple Creek and Victor area revealed a variety of gold and red colors adorning vast swaths of aspen stands in the 10,000 foot elevation range.
Today at around noon Colorado time, the sun will cross the celestial equator, marking the passage of summer and the advent of celestial autumn. For me it means that the best photography of the year is nearly upon us.
There is no greater evidence of God's work than the majestic osprey. Yesterday's visit to this year's new crop of osprey in the canyon only added to the anticipation of one His greatest mysteries.
On a rare occasion people do come to visit me, and often it's because they want to climb the Manitou Incline. There may come a day when my old legs will no longer carry me up the 2700 rugged steps over the old cog railway that takes one to 8500 feet in elevation in just one mile of near verticle climbing, but on this day I was willing to give it one more try. Even though the previous sentence may have set a record for word count, last weekend's climb to the summit did not 😦
I'm pleased to announce that Episode Two - Moonlight Dance is now available to read on my substack in the War on Wildlife section. In this episode my readers will follow Angie as she struggles to restart her career following the pandemic and the election of a new presidential administration.
I'm proud to introduce a new author page on my website, including a first draft of the cover for my new romantic adventure series, The War On Wildlife!
I'm pleased to announce that "Episode One - The Intrepid Trio" has been published! The War on Wildlife is my latest novel based on the characters developed in my previous novels, Spirit of the Wolf and Thundering Hooves. I am writing The War on Wildlife in response to the government's recent attempts to roll back endangered species protections on wolves, and wipe out wild horse herds in the Rocky Mountain West.
