Continued my exploration of the new trailhead and trail system that I have been working for the last couple of weeks. After encountering "the gate" I had to branch out in a new direction and the cool cloudy morning we are having seemed just the day to do that. So early this morning the puppies … Continue reading The Clearing
Just when I thought I had found the superhighway to the high peaks of the Ute Pass northern ridge, I find myself thwarted by a gate and a no trespassing sign 😦 I finally got an early enough start in the cool of the day to really take a run at that trail with the … Continue reading The Dilemma
After the possibilities I discovered yesterday in my new trails paradise I was a bit more eager to get in the truck and get back up there today. I didn't realize how hiking the same exact trail every day for eight years had become complete drudgery. I never even liked that part of the trail, … Continue reading Wings of Eagles
Amazing end to an amazing day, fascinating how things turn out sometimes... but I'll get to that later. The day started out great when I decided to explore a new trailhead that the troll doesn't know about and I found a magnificent parking lot, an open space park and a whole network of trails, including … Continue reading Amazing Day
Met some new friends this morning... As I was striding along through the woods I felt eyes upon me and stopped to look around. In the distance I spotted the onlooker, a little fawn mule deer curiously peering out from the wildflowers. I didn't want to scare the little fellow so I didn't approach, just … Continue reading New Furry Friends
Wasn't sure I was going to make it out this morning... I don't know, maybe it's the damp weather, or maybe just too many hours on the loading docks this week, but when I awoke this morning it felt like a bomb had exploded inside my body. Got up, turned on the coffee pot and … Continue reading Rough Start
Too much traffic to go anywhere and too hot and sunny for picture taking today, besides I couldn't get past the troll anyway. Crazy as it is, I have a real live troll in my life... blond woman, fat ugly bleached blond chain smoking foul mouthed wretch of a human being about 50 years old … Continue reading Real Live Troll
I wasn't quite satisfied with yesterday's image, it didn't convey the coldness that I intended. This morning I decided to bring it back up and use a Photoshop technique I invented some time back for black and white renditions of deer in snow. One time I was working on one of those blizzard images and … Continue reading Black and White
Shooting the pictures is the fun part that makes it all worth while, but for a stock photographer there is a considerable amount of work to be done that isn't all that much fun. With the capturing of hundreds, even thousands of images comes the job of cataloging and editing and processing. Summertime would seem … Continue reading The Work
The Fourth of July, the day we celebrate the signing in 1776 of the Declaration of Independence from the rule of England and the king. The day that our forefathers informed the king that their basic rights to life liberty and pursuit of happiness were unalienable, given to mankind by the Creator and not man … Continue reading Independence Day
