Fences in Paradise
Late last week I drove my daughter to Pray, Montana, so she could attend a wedding. The perk for me was that I had a full Friday to photograph in a pretty area where I had never been. It is so pretty, in fact, that it is called Paradise Valley. The valley runs pretty much

LoHi
We have lived in the Denver area for less than two years and there are many areas that are entirely unknown to us, so we make an effort to go to places just because we have never been there. It’s almost like travel, but closer. Our wedding anniversary was on a Sunday in August and

It Fell Over Boulder Falls
A long-time friend, Erik, visited from Massachusetts last weekend. Over the years, we have been on a number of notable photographic adventures, including exploring Ragged Top in the Ironwood Forest National Monument northwest of Tucson. (That’s a very old post, so I apologize for it’s different look and feel; beautifying the prehistoric posts on this

Paint Mine Proboscides
Just over a week ago a clickbait video appeared on my YouTube feed touting a “Hidden Gem Near Denver!” That hidden gem is Paint Mines Interpretive Park, a county park in El Paso County, Colorado. If online sources are to be believed, the park is almost 25 years old, but the park seems new and

Peak of Spring
Back in May a long-time friend came to visit and he suggested driving to the top of Pikes Peak. From my house, it’s about an hour to get down to Colorado Springs and about another hour to get to the top of the mountain. The image above gives an idea of what the road is

Vancouver Island Wrap
I declared that last week was the penultimate post in this series, which makes this week the ultimate post, and it is. Whether it proves to be your favorite post or even your favorite ultimate post remains to be determined, but feel free to let me know in the comments regardless. The image above is

Sandcut Beach
This is my penultimate post about the Vancouver Island trip. Next week, as is my usual practice when wrapping up a series on a big trip, will have some lens usage statistics and an assortment of stray images that I wanted to share but never found a home for in the earlier posts. This week

Botany Bay Up Over
Botany Bay is a popular name: Vancouver Island’s version has homonymous counterparts in England, South Carolina, and—most famously—Australia. I have not been to any of the others (yet!) but they all seem to be more dramatic landscapes than this one. This beach was kind of a tweener: it was a lot rockier than a proper

Sombrio Beach
For the last two weeks I have been promising that the blog would go to the beach and here we are! Well…the image above doesn’t look like a beach, of course, but is right next to one: this is a petite little slot canyon carved into the beach’s cliff. (My wife reads this blog and

San Juan River
As mentioned last week, my intent is to wrap up the Vancouver Island forests this week and then move on to a couple beaches we visited. This week’s post is about a campground we visited along the San Juan River. As usual for this Vancouver trip, there was a lot to photograph and it took
