Got some good hiking in this morning, now working on staying ahead of the curve by getting some more winter pictures done. Have to say, these images of our Mount Elbert winter hike in January of 2016 have to be some of the most memorable shots I have ever taken. It was a beautiful morning … Continue reading Rocky Mountain Winter

The Clearing
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
The Dilemma
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
Amazing Day
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
New Furry Friends
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
Real Live Troll
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
Black and White
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
The Work
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
Ebb and Flow
Totally resisting going out into the world this morning. Monday on the job getting harder and harder to face... After three days off from my unfortunate necessary supplemental job, the old body feels mostly like I haven't been run over by a truck and I am not looking forward to the return of the pain. … Continue reading Ebb and Flow
Beautiful Morning
It was a beautiful cool morning today, a welcome relief to the scorching heat we have been experiencing here in Colorado this June. Lol.. I know we sound like real wimps when we get to complaining when the temps rise above 80 when the rest of the country is sweltering in 100 plus misery, but … Continue reading Beautiful Morning
