I made a quick trip down to the Ridgway area in southwestern Colorado the first of October last fall in hopes of being there at peak fall color. What I found was a little disappointing. The colors this past year were a little different in Colorado as well as many other states. You were likely […]
Change of Direction-Shavano Falls in Southern Colorado
This past summer, I made it a point to visit some waterfalls in Colorado that I hadn’t been to before. A couple of those were not too far away from home outside of Salida. I packed up the camper and spent an afternoon and the following morning visiting two waterfalls on the North Fork South […]
Fall Color Medley-North Shore Minnesota Autumn Panorama
My son and I timed our trip to the North Shore of Lake Superior at just the right time last year. I was worried we might be a little late for fall colors since I couldn’t get there until mid-October, but there was plenty to be found. In fact, this beautiful scene was right across […]
Peaceful Dawning-Sunrise Reflection at Lake Wanaka in New Zealand
With it being the first of the year, I was doing some organizing of all my images and ran across this from a trip to New Zealand back in 2009. I spent a month touring both the North and South islands with a good friend and fellow photographer, Nat Coalson. I have yet to hardly […]
Pink Winter Dawn-Sawatch Mountains Bathed in Early Morning Light
This is my consolation shot from what was planned to be some pictures of the lunar eclipse earlier this week. I had scoped out the location for shooting the moon over the mountains days in advance. It had to be up at a higher elevation or else the moon would drop behind them. I got […]
Ancient Overlook-Fallen Roof Ruin in Southeastern Utah
One of the other ruins that I hiked to with my photographer friend Jim Talaric last month. Fallen Roof Ruin is interesting in that slabs of rock have dropped from the rock overhang above and lay scattered on the floor below. I wouldn’t have wanted to be there when that happened! The challenge we had […]
House on Fire Ruin Panorama-Cedar Mesa in Southeastern Utah
I visited a few Ancestral Puebloan ruins on my trip to Utah and Arizona earlier this month with my friend and fellow photographer, Jim Talaric. Jim has visited many of the ruins in the past and wanted to revisit a few on this trip. It was something fairly new for me, but I didn’t really […]
Stone Spectators-Hoodoos On Stud Horse Point in Arizona
Jim Talaric, a photographer friend of mine, and I took a quick trip through Utah down to Page, Arizona earlier this month to hike into the Wave (once again). We made it into town the day before our hike with enough time remaining to head out to Stud Horse Point for sunset. Storm clouds to […]
Peaceful Beginning-North Shore Minnesota Sunrise
This rocky bay just behind the Tettegouche State Park Visitor Center was another favorite location that my son and I visited on our trip to the North Shore in Minnesota this past fall. We chose this spot for sunrise one evening and sunrise a couple of mornings. What was striking was how much the conditions […]
Golden Grace-B.B. Ricketts Falls in Autumn
The waterfalls in Ricketts Glen State Park were all named by R.B. Ricketts, who once owned all the park land. Many of the falls have Native American names, but a few like this one are named after friends or family. B.B. Ricketts Falls drops gracefully over a 36 foot drop along the Glen Leigh trail. […]
