Encountering The Three Amigos: A Wildlife Photography Journey

Three Buck Mule Deer

After a stressful day of nursing along a doggy with pancreatitis I needed some fresh air and a couple miles on the trail. I hoped I would find some deer or elk to photograph during the golden hour, but it was completely by accident that I found my favorite mule deer bucks, The Three Amigos!

A New Year of Photography

A new year of photography is off to a great start with the birds of Eleven Mile Canyon in Southern Colorado. The bald eagles are back in the canyon, red-winged blackbirds are migrating, and I saw a northern shrike hunting in the meadow.

Winter Wildlife Photography

Had a good couple of days with some winter wildlife photography using my mirrorless Canon R7. I considered making this post about shooting winter wildlife with a mirrorless camera, so I came up with this... It's just like shooting winter wildlife with a DSLR, so do what you did then. Which is also what I said when DSLR cameras came out. It's just like shooting wildlife with your SLR film camera, so just do what you were doing then. Lol, but then it was pointed out to me that not everyone started shooting wildlife with a 35mm film SLR, and some people never even had a DSLR, so there is that.

The Eagles Return

Bald Eagles at Eleven Mile Canyon

This is the time of year when I frequently visit the Eleven Mile Fishing Report to check the status of the ice cover. Upon discovering that the reservoir is completely frozen over, I decided to make an early morning visit to investigate the bald eagle nesting pair's return to their winter home in the canyon.

Make a Difference: Shop Small This Holiday

Please be sure to support a small business over the holidays this year! Sure, you might be able to save a few bucks at the big box stores, but a unique gift from a small business might be more special, and something not many other people have. Plus your small purchase could make a huge difference to a small business owner.

Battling Bighorns

It was quite a day in Waterton Canyon yesterday with a few battling bighorns, but mostly just a normal active day along the South Platte River this time of year.

Sprucing Up for the Holidays

It's been awhile since I have taken a good look at how my wall art gallery is presented, so I thought I'd do a little sprucing up for the holidays. Wall art makes for a great gift, but it's not the only gift my site offers. A beautiful image from my library can be ordered on a wide variety of gift items offered on the site. Click any image, such as this beautiful picture of the wild horses of the Colorado Sand Wash Basin to see all the products that can be ordered!

Back in the Photography Saddle

Finally, back in the saddle again. It's been a long tough spring and summer fraught with problems and mechanical failure, but I finally have some results to show for all the trepidation.
