Stepping Back In Time
August 30, 2009
When traveling through the mountains of Colorado, we sometimes stumble into a place that makes me feel like we have traveled back in time. All of a sudden, at the end of a dirt road, we come across wooden buildings with false fronts and grainy windows and time stands still. Not many ghost towns [...]
The Hot Air Balloon Festival
August 26, 2009
Ok, I know two balloons hardly constitutes a festival but, this was just two of the forty or so that were present at the Steamboat Springs Balloon Festival in Colorado this summer. I love how the colors of the balloons contrast with the blue sky background.
The Calypso Cascades
June 10, 2009
After about three months of deliberation I finally decided to buy a Nikon D300 to replace my Canon Digital Rebel XT. I purchased it plus the 18-200mm VR lens from the guys at us1photo.com. (I will try to post a review at some point) It showed up to my house earlier this week and [...]
Ouzel Falls
June 9, 2009
Ouzel Falls is in the Wild Basin Area of Rocky Mountain National Park. Wild Basin is off the beaten path, and does not get the same amount of traffic as other areas of the park. However, it is popular with the locals and those that are in the know. This was my first trip [...]
The Brown Palace Hotel
April 20, 2009
I took this photo specifically for the Doors Open Denver photography contest. I entered it in to the architecture category. The grand prize was lunch with the mayor. I thought hey, free lunch… but alas there is no such thing as a free lunch and I did not win the contest.. Oh well better [...]
The Aspen Forest
April 15, 2009
Driving through the Rocky Mountains in the autumn is always a beautiful trip. Often, you just have to pull over on the road and take a few minutes to admire the gorgeous color of the Aspen leaves. This particular day, my wife and I were driving and as we came around the corner the [...]
Alpine Storm
April 5, 2009
Another picture from our autumn hike up to Blue Lake. This picture was taken near timberline. I always find it interesting how nature adapts to these harsh conditions. All of the plant life gets closer to the ground the higher up you go. It is always a good idea to pay attention to the [...]
Desert Storm Front
April 1, 2009
Colorado landscapes never cease to amaze me in their diversity. From plains and mountains to desert canyons, you can see it all here. This photo was taken on the Colorado National Monument near Grand Junction, Colorado. This monument is my favorite for many reasons, but one of them is the ability to take an [...]
Timberline in the autumn
March 29, 2009
As I am sure you are all aware fall in Colorado is absolutely gorgeous! After all they don’t call it colorful Colorado for nothing. One area that I enjoy hiking is the Brainard Lakes Recreation Area. It is near Rocky Mountain National Park and yes, your parks pass will get you in. But the [...]
