Every year I get a chance to take a long weekend in Estes Park. It involves lots of photography and hiking. Mostly photography. Ok there’s beer at the end of the day but mostly photography. Mostly.

Rhino
I took this about 5 years ago. I’d been to South Africa several times and had never seen a rhino. I was at a game park. I saw this guy. I was so excited I jumped out of the car with my camera and started shooting. Then a game keeper came running over and told me to get back in the car.

Lion at sunset
I always liked this pic from Scotia. To me it represents the best of South Africa- proud in he failing light.

People who know stuff
I like people who know stuff. Last Christmas I hired a guide to help me get some killer photos. I took a chance with Yellow Wood Guiding and am glad I did. This guy gave me odds on seeing different animals and knew where they’d be.
I’ll be hiring him again in May.
One of my favorites
I take lots of photos in the Rocky Mountain National Park. This is one of my favorites. To the south of the gravel road leading to the Fern Lake trailhead is a meadow with Aspens. In 2013 a fire raced through. You have to look close to see the burn scars now.
