On a hard crusted drift at the big meadow’s margin I made this photograph facing the winter wind. In the woods behind me the snow was soft and deep except where I’d broken a trail with my snowshoes to get to this place, one of my favorites. If I had put on my face mask [...]
A stubborn brown leaf refuses to let go though the cold and strong January wind does blow.
A February image that I liked the moment I looked out and saw the bird and one of last year’s leaves clinging to the top branches of an aspen.
The sign in the foreground declares, “No Hunting”, but that’s exactly what I was doing – hunting images to capture.
A few days at our favorite hot springs in December yeilded the images below of the Chalk Cliffs, Mt. Princeton, plus a few more “riding shotgun” images – this time of South Park. Extremely low temps with wind [...]
You can’t see the lake under the snow, but it’s there. This image was made the same day (winter solstice ’08) and location as the one in my previous post, Hahn Peak.
I went to the park expecting groomed trails, but the ranger said there was not enough snow yet with only two feet or so [...]
The little mountain chickadee is often a photographic subject for me in winter. This one posed for a portrait view behind a rail covered with snow. Then, it perched on the feeder hook as the little nutchatches often do. The mountain chickadees seems comfortable with me and the camera as near as about 8 ft. [...]
This wide angle image was captured in early morning sub-zero weather from just outside our room at the hot springs the last week of December. You see part of Mt. Princeton on the right and Mt. Antero on the far left with the chalk cliffs of Mt. Princeton at the center and the moon above. [...]
When I saw the image above was not the best of my color shots from a recent trip, I decided to do a b&w conversion for Trina, my friend who loves black and white photography. Mt. Princeton is one of our favorite mountains and this capture shows a cool snow devil swirling into the air [...]
