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.
Teig on Boulder in Castlewood Canyon
Teig had jumped up on one of the boulders in Castlewood Canyon and was staring eye to eye with me when I came hiking down Inner Canyon Trail. He still amazes me how athletic he still is for an old dog.
Full Sprint in Snow
Teig in full sprint through the deep snow on South Table Mountain. He definitely blends into the snow when the snow is coming down hard.
Washboard between Bluegrass Sets
This is one of the very cool instruments you occasionally find Bluegrass Musicians play at their gigs. I love the sound and this washboard is resting between sets at the Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs concert at New Terrain Brewery.
Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs at New Terrain Brewery
Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs is a fantastic Bluegrass Band from Montana. They were jamming and exciting the crowd at the New Terrain Brewery in Golden Colorado.
Traildog on Snow Covered Ridge
Teig enjoying the sun on a beautiful winter's day after a snowstorm on Dinosaur Ridge. This trail is one of our favorite quick hikes near Denver, especially after a snowstorm.
Crest of Dinosaur Ridge in Winter
Teig was enjoying the sun setting on the Front Range Mountains from Dinosaur Ridge. There was a foot of fresh snow on the ridge but it was a comfortable 45 degrees on the trail.
Redrocks Road in a Snowstorm
Redrocks Park and Amphitheater during a good snowstorm that hit the Front Range. The red rocks look cool contrasting with the snow.
Snow Play on Strawberry Jack Trail
There is always time to play in the snow while you are sauntering about in the Rocky Mountains. Teig found his moment on Strawberry Jack Trail near Pine, Colorado to get a good roll in the snow on the trail. He makes me laugh out loud when he goes this.
Bird on Feeder
We were relaxing at RedRocks Trading post in Morrison Colorado watching the few bird feeders in the back during a snowstorm and this little guy flew up and started feeding. He seemed quite fearless and hungry and was picking through the seeds in the feeder finding the tasty morsels.
Winter Scene at White Ranch
Winter in Golden Colorado is especially wonderful after a snowstorm. On this day I took a hike up to White Ranch above the valley and I found this group of frozen trees on my way to the summit. The light was nice even though it was later in the morning. A hike becomes super fun when you come across gems like this.
Winter Storm Engulfing Redrocks
A winter storm came into the Front Range and blanketed snow on beautiful rock formations at Redrocks outside of Denver Colorado. Sauntering the trails was a pleasure with no tourists because of these chilly conditions. As a photographer, these conditions are great and require a trip around the trails in the park.
