Image of the Month: February 2013

Ice is fun to photograph. I’ve embarked on several trips to take pictures of Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park during this time of year. The lake seems halted in time with frozen undulating waves and ripples  in suspended animation over its surface. Cracks, fractures and trapped air bubbles below seem to glow with […]

Wind is a fact of life during winter in Rocky Mountain National Park. Gusty weather conditions are probably my least favorite to take pictures in. The reason why is landscape photographers love using narrow apertures to maintain a sharp depth of field. However, with narrow apertures come slow shutter speeds to allow enough light to […]

Fog rises from Carter Lake near Loveland, Colorado as seen from behind a grove of snow-covered ponderosa pines. This is one of my first and favorite nature photos taken many years ago the morning after a winter storm. After the dry year we’ve experienced here in the Rockies, here’s hoping we have a White Christmas […]

This photo was taken just north of the town of Mead along Interstate 25 on my way home from a road trip late this summer. There had been a few small wildfires that caused haze over the mountains. The Make sure that you take the focus off the free generic cialis penile. The cause of […]

Sometimes we can find beauty in less-obvious locations. Instead of photographing these aspen in fall foliage head-on, I looked for a different, perhaps more interesting composition during a recent autumn trip to the mountains. A reflection in a lake provided that opportunity. I hope that photographers will look for abstract photos as well as the […]

Image of the Month: August 2012

August may be the best month in Colorado to hike a fourteener. In most years this is the time when the least amount of snow will be remaining on the state’s high peaks. For those of us who don’t like skiing or hiking with crampons, late summer is an opportune time to explore the summits […]

Image of the Month: July 2012

This year’s dry conditions continued through the early summer. As wildfires raged throughout Colorado and the West, the wildflower season had an early and brief appearance. I didn’t get out much to photograph this year’s flower displays so I am posting an image from last year’s impressive bloom in the valleys near Crested Butte. The […]

Image of the Month: June 2012

Few summers begin as early as 2012 did in Rocky Mountain National Park. Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuously paved road in the nation, opened on May 14. This was the third earliest recorded opening. In contrast to last year’s substantive amount of snowpack, this year’s winter was very dry allowing visitors to access the […]
