Snow above Parshall Colorado
Teig resting in a field of snow leftover from the winter snows above Parshall Colorado. We had a fun day exploring the hills and ridges with the Colorado River flowing through the valley below. My brother was flyfishing but we decided we needed to stretch our legs and climb a few of the hills and get some fantastic views in this area.
Icicles in Bear Creek
Many of the plants next to Bear Creek in Colorado freeze in winter. These branches look fascinating with the thick ice and light shining through them.
Castlewood Canyon Winter Stairs
Stairs leading up to the rim from the bottom of Castlewood Canyon in Colorado. The steps were snow packed from hiker traffic and in the chilly afternoon shade.

Winter's Light on Front Range Foothills

Bull Elk in Tall Grass
Yeoman Park Pond in the Colorado Rockies
A beautiful view of a beaver pond on an early morning hike through Yeoman Park in the Colorado Rockies. The Reflections and autumn color caught my attention in the crisp still mountain air.
Autumn Color on East Brush Creek
Beautiful color on East Brush Creek in Colorado's Sylvan State Park. The falls were flowing well and the location was super peaceful to sit and contemplate nature while listening to the waterfalls.
Aspen Scars
Some interesting scars on an aspen tree off of the Burning Bear trail. They appear to be bear claw marks probably from a bear climbing the tree. I find these scars so interesting and can hint to a story from the past. It is fun to imagine the bear climbing the tree and hypothesize why he was doing it.
Waterfall on Lake Fork Creek
Autumn is a beautiful time to be in the Colorado Front Range. Sauntering up to Gibson Lake along Lake Fork Creek we came across numerous beautiful waterfalls in the dappled light of the forest. This fall was so nice in the shade that we had to stop and eat lunch next to it and enjoy the cool mist.
Marmot in Yellow Meadow
A marmot was playing amongst the large boulders off of the Arapaho Glaciers Trail in the Front Range Mountains of Colorado.
Mill Creek Afternoon
Enjoying the beautiful Rocky Mountain afternoon sitting next to this little waterfall on Mill Creek above Bill Moore Lake. The sounds of the cascading waterfall and the colors of flowers enticed me to sit and just meditate before sauntering further on the trail.
Alpine Fireweed and Teig
Teig photobombing a landscape shot of Alpine Fireweeds next to the road at Boreas Pass above Breck in Colorado. I was setting up this nice evening shot of these purple flowers and Teig just walks up into the frame. I didn't really mind and I think he helps the composition. I would always put him in my landscape photographs but I am sure people are already overwhelmed with Teig in most of my photos.
Sunny Morning at Mount Guyot
A bright sunny morning with Alpine Sunflowers at Mount Guyot. A nice view to start sauntering to Glacier Peak in the Front Range Mountains of Colorado.
Sunset over Western Peaks and Geneva Creek
A beautiful sunset over the Front Range Mountains and Geneva Creek. The sky was gorgeous and the evening was soft and cool. A plethora of peaks in view including Santa Fe Peak, Decatur Mountain, Revenue Mountain, Square Top Mountain and Geneva Peak.
Valley with Geneva Creek
A view east down the valley of Geneva Creek near Guanella Pass in the Front Range Mountains of Colorado. Just after sunset in the western peaks, this was a good look down this popular camping area with ponds and the meandering creek.
