As we were leaving Estes after Christmas break, I saw this. We were already leaving later than we wanted. But I was breaking as I said “ok if I stop and take another pic?” I knelt down in the snow to shoot under the fence rail. I didn’t shoot many frames, but the scene was too compelling to leave. The composition, colors, all just fell into place. Perfect photo to start the new year.
I’m glad I’ll be there again in a couple days.

While working around the house in Estes Park, my wife saw this bobcat sitting in our yard. He stayed for about 10 minutes before moving on.

If if you look close you can see the focus isn’t great. I’m not sure why, I was on top of a parking garage so maybe there was some vibration. But it was a nice night, I was with a good friend and I liked the composition.
So here it is.

Second time at this magical place. I honestly didn’t expect to see anything I didn’t see the first time (here).
It was different. Different time, different light.

It’s August in Kansas City. 90 degrees and I’m thinking about the elk in winter. Sigh.

I like the unexpected. Surprise. The totally out-of-place in the middle of the flattest part of Kansas.

My favorite photo from this trip. Taken as the sun was setting, classic “look at those mountains” composition.

I have a love/hate relationship with Long’s Peak. I’ve been up it 3 times. And I’ve said I’ll never do it again… 3 times.

We were driving thru Rocky Mtn National Park and I saw a couple cars pulled off to the side. I pulled over to look. I didn’t see any wildlife but the little meadow looked intriguing so I walked down and started taking pics of the meadow and winding stream. Getting down by the stream, shooting the water and grass.
Coming back up to the road, a car pulled over and a lady said “did you see her?” Wade and I both said “see who?” “The mama bear that’s down in the meadow.”
After we recovered we drove around to the other side of the meadow and I got the above pic. Not the best in the failing light. And I wasn’t getting close again.
