Restaurant banners of the city’s 5280 magazine winner were hung on the side of the building in Lower Downtown Denver Colorado. This composition caught my eye and love the texture and lines. You can find interest in many simple places, if you keep your eyes open.
Denver Skyline in the Dark
A view of the Denver skyline at night from South Table Mountain in Golden Colorado. Downtown Denver is pretty urban glow from the mountain and juxtaposes the different environments between small town Golden and huge urban Denver.
Teig on Mountain Trestle
Teig posing on railroad historic trestle tracks high in the Colorado Rockies. This old abandoned trestle is near Corona Pass and is uber cool to hike. My traildog loved the snow and the hike too!
Bald Eagle Perched Above River
This Eagle was high above the Arkansas River in Central Colorado searching for his breakfast.
Out in the Snow Storm
Teig covered in snow on Mount Falcon outside of Morrison Colorado during a large snow storm. We love these days in the mountains of Colorado.
Peeking Over Rock Wall
This warbler was out foraging just after snow storm at Redrocks Trading Post outside of Denver Colorado.
Buck Above the Denver Skyline
A group of whitetail deer were feeding on one of the promotories on North Table Mountain as we were exploring off-trail on a gorgeous January day. They heard us coming and this buck watched me taking photos before he took off down the side cliffs. It was awesome to see him so beautiful and strong in front of the skyline of downtown Denver, Colorado.
Male Dancer Series at Denver's Jazz in the Park...
I recently finished a black-and-white photography series of 7 images of a male dancer enjoying the Jazz in the Park concert at Denver's City Park. It was fun capturing this man having fun and relishing the fantastic music of The Mambotet with the very large crowd of his neighbors.

A little girl dancing to the jazz band The Mambotet at Denver’s City Park. She did not stop dancing the whole time the band played… she was having a blast!.
Glimpse of Cuchara Valley
Hiking down from West Spanish Peak in the San Isabel National Forest, I found a clear spot through the forest to the Cuchara Valley below. We had just came out of a large thunderstorm and I could see one down in the valley below. This section of the Southern Colorado Rockies is very lush and green. The hiking here is fantastic.

Sunset At Cordova Pass
A beautiful sunset Cordova Pass near West Spanish Peak. This section of the San Isabel National Forest in Colorado is unique in that it sits on the border of New Mexico. You can see the vast plains to the east and other mountain ranges north, south and west. This sunset occurred between storms that covered the region for a few days. This increased the beauty of the sunset and was a wonder to witness.

Fishing with the Geese
A young boy having some fun at Denver’s City park fishing in Ferril Lake. The Geese were enjoying the park too and were strolling nearby and ambivalent to the boy. There are flocks of geese that make the park home all summer long.

Standing Tall in Kenosha Mountains
We were exploring the Kenosha Mountains north of the Colorado Trail. A bushwhack up from the trail gets us above the tree line and enjoying the alpine conditions of Colorado. The wind was kicking on this day but it felt comfortable with the day being in the upper 60’s. We love being up here.

Traildog at Kinston Peak Snow Field
A day of hiking to Kingston Peak, Teig and I stopped over at the snow field below the summit to play a bit. He loves the snow and there was abundant amounts on this summer day in the Front Range mountains of Colorado.

Traildog in Mountain Fog
Teig and I were exploring the tree line below Kingston Peak in the Front Range Mountains of Colorado. The low clouds were moving up the slope to us and soon engulfed the ridge in it’s cool mist. The experience was calm and pleasant. I do love changes in weather when you are hiking in the mountains.

Green Arroyos in Badlands
Badlands National Park in South Dakota has some green areas. One of those areas is in the arroyos in between the hills in the park. This vast badlands is broken by the lush green areas in these low lying locations that gather moisture and rain from the hills.

Even photographers and their dogs have fun!
Badlands Labradoodle in Black and White
Wondering the backcountry of Badlands National Park in South Dakota is an adventure. When I am in between landscape shoots I get shots of Teig wondering around the rock formations. He becomes my main model or subject when I need some inspiration. He is definitely my artistic muse.
