This scene was totally irresitable! I waited until the sun light crested the mountain, back-lighting the trees. They glow like the sun. What a wonderful location to spend a holiday!

Fall Road Trip
Cow Capture
Traveling the back roads of Colorado, I get to see (and hear) many things. This particular morning I was photographing the aspen trees in the high country. This cow keep mooing and mooing. I think she wanted to join me or at least communicate in some way! It was fun to be noticed by a cow. I took her picture so I could remember the moment.

Coming Soon to an Aspen Forest Near You!
Looking forward to the next few weeks when the Aspen trees turn Colorado into GOLD! If you live here, be sure to make it a point to go see them. If you don’t live here, well I can fix that! #TimeToRelocate! #PureColorado
Harvest Moon Over Denver
I’ve been looking forward to photographing this moon all week. In my mind I was singing “Bad Moon Arising…” or whatever that song is called! It was a fun night, totally clear, warm and thoroughly enjoyable as I stood on the shore capturing Denver’s night reflections in Sloans Lake. Hope you got out to at least take a peak at the moon!

The Tree
The Tree lives up on Mt. Evans. It is part of the enduring Bristlecone Trees who have a history of surviving in harsh weather and bad soils. They are among the oldest living life forms on earth! If this trees could talk!
I braved the night, getting up at 3 a.m. to make the trip up Mt. Evans from my home so I could see the sunrise. I thought I was unique! How wrong I was, the road wasn’t as busy as during the day, but I certainly wasn’t alone on that mountain! Cars keep climbing up and beyond to the summit no doubt to witness what I was there to see!
It was worth it. The sun broached the horizon creating wonderful and changing colors! From the moment it started until it was high in the sky, I continued to capture it’s beauty. The colors changed during this time giving me very different images despite not moving more that a few inches either way!
If you haven’t experienced a sunrise on Mt. Evans, set your alarm clock for 0-dark-30 and do it before you die! Trust me on this. It is worth the trip. 14,300 feet above sea level

Mountain Meadow
In August I actually went tent camping for the first time in ages! I joined my son and his family up in a high mountain park near Divide, Colorado. As luck would have it, that weekend it rained. And rained some more! I don’t mind the rain, when I’m tucked away in my tent, but what I wasn’t prepared for was the low temperature! It was August, but yes this was at 9600 feet above sea level. What was I thinking? Oh well. This picture was taken just after the sun rose one morning. The air was cool and crisp and the grass soft with moisture. It felt so good to be alive!
