Dallas Peak Reflections

This photo was taken about 200 yards from my tent one cool morning in Mt. Sneffels Wilderness. I was drawn in by the brilliant blue color that makes this image feel as cold as it actually was that morning.

Cathedral Rock Reflections

Since Garden of the Gods is virtually my backyard, it's easy to make this place my most photographed area. During the Spring of 98, we received a tremendous amount of rain, along with flooding. After a large pond of water developed in the park, I was up every morning to photograph sunrise reflections.

Silhouette Pinyon at Twilight

Sunsets in Western Colorado lend themselves to some really wonderful photographs. Just before cooking my dinner, I was able to capture this photo, after selecting a nice dead Pine tree, from the many that are in this Monument.

Paint Mines

This small unique erosion area, 40 miles East of Colorado Springs, provides some great opportunities for colorful photographs.

Moonset Reflections

On a very windy morning, I was able to create this moonset reflection on Pueblo Lake by keeping my shutter open for 30 seconds. I did not expect this photo to turn out with such a strong visual impact.

Fog Amidst Pine

Finding this image in Colorado is quite simple, with the vast amounts of high elevation forests and low level clouds. Morning is always the best time to find these.

Pikes Peak Sunrise Reflections

With Pikes Peak mountain being one of the most visited mountains in the U.S., it's sometimes difficult to find new perspectives and views of this mountain. I prefer these images of its North face. With snow and first light, this reflection shows the vast beauty of this popular mountain.

Fresh Snow in the Garden

Colorado is famous for its powder snow, which can make great photographs and interesting adventures. After hiking up a ridge in 25+ inches of new snow, I was rewarded with this beautiful Winter scene.

Waterfall on the North Fork

While photographing remote areas around Crested Butte, I was blessed with many beautiful waterfalls and water cascades. This small waterfall is just a hint of the hundreds of waterfalls this state has to offer.

Sunrise Glory

One of my favorite subjects is silhouettes against colored skies. They tend to generate more creativity in the viewer's mind. This type of photography is fun to do in Colorado, since there are so many wonderful subjects and elements that can create nice silhouettes, especially when reflected off standing water.

Maroon Bells above Maroon Lake

Maroon Bells is claimed as being the most photographed area in Colorado and I can see why. This area is breathtaking, especially during Autumn and after the first snow fall. Maroon Lake offers some great opportunities for nice reflections. Get there early, the tourist traffic can get crazy.

Turquoise on Blue Lake

During a solo backpack trip, on a partly cloudy day, I was able to find a view point that allowed me to capture the sun's spotlight on Blue Lake. It was fantastic to see how the sunlight brought out the turquoise color. These beautiful alpine tarns are easy to find in the high country of Colorado.

Marigold Dreams

One of my favorite subjects to photograph is flowers. I am fortunate to have Colorado's large collection of wildflowers. While working on my belly, in a large group of beautiful Marigold's, I was able to create this dreamy photograph.

Dune Ridge

One of the most unique and bizarre areas in Colorado is the Great Sand Dunes National Monument. Having this in Colorado makes you realize just how creative our Creator is. Photographing these sand dunes is best done when the sun is low. This will give you nice shadows and a strong three dimensional feeling.

Young Yucca Webbing

Finding Yucca plants like this one is not difficult in Colorado. I stumbled across this young Yucca and was immediately drawn to the white web-like patterns. I was able to capture the strong patterns and contrast that this Yucca had to offer.

Aspen Grove

You can not visit Colorado mountains without experiencing the famous Aspen tree. Photographing Aspen stands generates a lot of creativity and offers some wonderful photographs, especially during Autumn. This back-lit photograph of an Aspen grove shows you what unique trunks these trees have.

Autumn Towers

And here's towering Aspen trees during Autumn. Along with the dense Scrub Oak, Aspen trees generate powerful Autumn color in Colorado. It is a pure joy to photograph these colorful trees against the brilliant blue skies.

Monument Vista

Near Grand Junction, the Colorado National Monument reminds you of some of the famous Utah landscapes. This monument is quite amazing and truly emphasizes the diversity of Colorado's landscape...from snow-capped mountain to these desert-like canyons. After visiting and photographing the famous Colorado Rocky Mountains, this monument is a MUST SEE.
