Happy Winter Solstice 2025

Rocky Mountain Sunset

Today is the day when the sun reaches it's southernmost position in the sky, and begins the journey north in it's march to summer. Of course the sun is not moving around in the sky, but the solstice is "the shortest day of the year, marking the official start of winter, and happens because Earth's tilted axis points farthest away from the sun in one hemisphere."

The War Rages

Why am I writing The War On Wildlife? Lauren Boebert's misguided bill, H.R. 845 just advanced through the House of Representatives to permanently strip the gray wolf from Endangered Species Act protections.

Capturing Colorado’s Stunning Sunsets

Rocky Mountain Sunset

The conditions looked right for another beautiful sunset over the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range of Colorado, so I loaded up my camera and headed out to the overlook. I arrived with about 20 minutes to wait, and decided it wasn't going to be that spectacular afterall. So I turned the wheel and headed further into the mountains, hoping to find some wildlife in good light.

The Cold Moon

December Newsletter

Young Black Bear

The plan was to write a monthly newsletter, and I think I actually did get a couple written before the whole plan was derailed by events. Somehow through all the trauma, I managed to keep shooting, but recently noticed that none of those images had been uploaded to my fine art website, or to my stock agencies. No newsletters had been written and I had actually put little thought into my photography since the trees began changing colors in the high country in September. But now the skies have cleared over my life and it's time to get back to work!

My Planes Trains and Automobiles Experience

I actually posted this story a few years ago, but after watching Planes Trains and Automobiles for the thousandth time last night, it seems right to republish my own train travel experience! Although not all went as planned, I must admit that there is something to be said for an experience that one can remember, relish and even write about some fourty years after the fact 🙂
