Thought I'd put together this quick Easter message YouTube video from the top of Grouse Mountain at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Range of Colorado!
Happy Easter 2026

Springtime in the Canyon
It was actually foggy and spitting a bit of snow in Eleven Mile Canyon, but the wildlife were showing clear signs of the changing seasons.
Spring 2026 Newsletter
It's difficult to keep up with all the new developments in my world in 2026! In addition to all the excitement in the mountains from returning bird species and new four legged babies being born in the wild, I have managed to complete my historical fiction and romantic adventure trilogy with the publishing of my latest, The War On Wildlife. I have also recently launched a new online sports and leisure magazine, which I will be talking about in this post!
A Diamond in the Rough: Lumix DMC DS50
Another awesome visit to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National WIldlife Reserve to test my newest acquisition, the Lumix DMC ZS50 camera with 24-720mm Leica glass! (I also took along my new Pentax IQ Zoom 105 WR film camera, but I haven't had those negatives processed yet, so that's a story for another time.
Betrayal on Elk Creek
Episode Sixteen of my serial novel The War on Wildlife, has now been published and available for your reading enjoyment
Eagles Nest
I'm happy to report that our mother eagle has laid eggs and is on the nest. Papa eagle is working diligently to keep the family fed while one of them is in the nest at all times. I had hoped to get a closeup of him fishing upstream, but it seems there has been a change in the families habits, and they are now fishing somewhere downstream
The Year of Authenticity
When I first tried a bit of Photoshop's Generative Fill feature, I was amused at the results and thought, "It will be a long time before I need to worry about AI. How wrong I was, within a year social media was inundated with realistic wildlife and fantastical landscape images that attracted the eye much more quickly than my own images. I knew then that my stock photo business might be in trouble, after all, what blogger or agency would pay good money for an image when they could just conjure one up for free!
Trouble At Elk Creek
I'm pleased to announce that Episode Twelve - Trouble At Elk Creek of my serial novel The War on WIldlife, has been published and is now ready for your free reading enjoyment!
A Monochrome Start to 2026
It wasn't something that I intended, or set out to do, but it seems that monochrome photography might be a recurring theme in 2026. A renewed interest in black and white film can be partially attributed to a road trip to Denver, with an inevitable stop at Englewood Camera to look at the used gear. On that trip I discovered an FD 100-300mm manual focus lens at a price impossible to ignore. That particular lens just happens to emply a 58mm filter size, the exact size of my set of monochrome filters.
Hope Eternal
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!
