Photo Adventure in the Arsenal

Snowy Egret

My alarm sounded long before sunrise and I struggled to open my eyes. A few seconds later, and I had vanquished the unwelcome noise and sat up in a daze. What was the reason for the rude awakening? I gathered my wits and remember that it was Friday, our day to get an early start for a photo adventure in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

Chipmunk in Mine Country

I can't believe another summer is upon us, although my furnace is still coming on at night. It was a bleak spring for photography, with uncooperative weather and $5 a gallon gas putting a damper on my photo adventures. However, we are seeing more and more warm days, the migratory birds are returning, and parks that were closed for the winter are opening for the season. I'm looking forward to good times ahead!

I’m always looking for the grand vista and the majestic beast to photograph, but sometimes that just doesn’t work out. When that happens though, one just needs to adjust the view a little bit to see all kinds of beauty to photograph. I was out hiking a couple days ago, early in the morning hoping for deer or elk in the meadow in the high meadow.

We had a twofold reason for choosing the canyon as our weekly photo adventure. The first being that it is a great place to get close to some of the more majestic birds of Colorado, and second, we could check on the eaglets.

Bald Eagle Family

It was an exciting day at the eagles nest! Both adults were on the nest when I arrived at the canyon, so I stopped to snap as many pictures as I could before one of them flew off for their next meal.
