Facing the Abyss
Recently a friend asked about things to photograph in western Colorado this coming June. I decided that the easiest thing to do was write a couple blogs on the area, although I have to reach pretty far back in the archives to do so. This week we are going back to October 2016, although most…

More Cherry Creek Wildlife
This post is a continuation of last week’s: last week focused on the herons of Cherry Creek State Park; this week shows off some of the other wildlife I found on my recent visits. That said, I am mixing a few things up this week. First of all, the images in this post are all…

Another Brick in the Wall
I like to have some kind of theme for each of my blog posts.

Rainy Day
A week ago it was raining heavily on my day off and I decided to finally go photograph some amazing red rock formations in South Valley County Park. I drive right past the edge of this park several times a week because it is close to work, but it is still at the far end…

Chatfield State Park
Since my wife and I work past either end of Chatfield State Park and we almost always commute together, I drive up and down the west edge of the park many times each week. The singular feature of the park is Chatfield Lake (officially Chatfield Reservoir, since it is an artificial lake). Since I have…
