I wasn't going to make this post until I got the negatives, so that I could do the high res scans. But I got my low res scans today, and I'm excited enough about the results to at least put out a hint of what is to come this year!

Winter Wonderland 2026
The holidays are behind us, and I'm getting back into my photography routine. This weeks adventure took me to Eleven Mile Canyon, in search of our bald eagle pairs. Unfortunately I was only able to capture one sighting, but a new winter storm has arrived in the area, and I was able to capture a few ghostly images of the snowy landscape.
Happy Winter Solstice 2025
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 Cold Moon
The cold moon, the last full moon of the year was a good excuse to get out at sunrise yesterday. Some wispy clouds ultimately obscured my view, but it was a beautiful morning and I think I got some excellent images anyway, plus a couple of unexpected bonus wildlife pictures.
Holiday Catch Up
All I can think is it must have been a very busy year. I seem to have a hard drive full of images all ready to put up for sale on my website! Well I finally got to it last night, and I'm happy to announce a couple dozen new images ready for purchase just in time for the holiday season.
Three Rolls of Film
It was like Christmas this week! I got back three rolls of film from the lab, including all my fall photography and my trip to Rocky Mountain National Park!
Eagles Return
Mama bald eagle has returned to her nest in Eleven Mile Canyon to spruce up for the winter breeding season! It's always exciting to see our breeding pair after a long hot summer!
Photographing the 2025 Elk Rut
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.
Stunning Autumn Hike in Colorado’s High Country
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.
Climbing the Manitou Incline 2025
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 😦
