Exploring Horsethief Park in Winter

Sentinel Point Colorado

Exploring Horsethief Park in the snow was something I've been wanting to do for a while now. I've been on this trail in winter before, up to the falls anyway, but I've never taken the fork to the north at the beaver ponds. I've been wanting to take my film camera to the ponds and shoot in monochrome for some time now, and this was the day. I had a few frames of Ilford FP4 left in my old Canon A-1, and I took it up the trail to finish them off.

A magical mist filled the cool air this morning and the amazing green foliage seemed more lush than ever. The doggies even seemed to notice and were having a blast licking the water off … Continue reading Magical Morning

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

Wings of Eagles

After the possibilities I discovered yesterday in my new trails paradise I was a bit more eager to get in the truck and get back up there today. I didn't realize how hiking the same exact trail every day for eight years had become complete drudgery. I never even liked that part of the trail, … Continue reading Wings of Eagles

Rough Start

Wasn't sure I was going to make it out this morning... I don't know, maybe it's the damp weather, or maybe just too many hours on the loading docks this week, but when I awoke this morning it felt like a bomb had exploded inside my body. Got up, turned on the coffee pot and … Continue reading Rough Start
