Prairie Light

Having been nearly a month since I photographed anything nature related I did manage to grab some early morning shots today. After leaving the apartment around 5:30AM I soon arrived at the Mesa trail in Boulder County, CO. It was a rather warm morning and much to my surprise I was the only out on the trail for the first …

Solar Eclipse

Today I had the great luck of capturing the partial Solar Eclipse near where I live in Broomfield, CO. At first I didn’t even know about it until my roommate asked be if I was going to capture it? Being completely clueless I quickly surfed the Internet and found articles pertaining to the eclipse. After reading about it I realized …

Radiating

New Days

An amazing sunrise greeted me this morning on the Greenbelt Plateau trail in Southern Boulder County. With a slight gap of clear skies above the Eastern horizon, the sun lit things up nicely before getting blocked from the extensive cloud cover.

Fresh Outting

Once again its been quite awhile since I got out and photographed anything nature inspired. But luckily before work today I woke up well before the sunrise and headed to the Greenbelt Plateau trail in Boulder County. It was a biting 15F deg outside this morning but the relatively clear skies, deep snow, and setting moon made for a memorable experience.

Warm Breeze

Having made it through another week of work, I decided to take it easy this morning and take a few photos South of Boulder. The dense cloud cover out East blocked any chance of having a brilliant sunrise. But even so, the morning was beautiful and in many ways rather warm considering the last few days.

Colors

Noticing the hillsides around Eldorado Canyon turning red yesterday I decided to start the day with an early morning hike along the Homestead Trail. Located just East of the canyon the trail offers amazing views of the Flatirons and South Boulder Creek. The colors were just amazing and as the sun began to rise they started to pop even more.

Creek Light

Before heading into work I caught the sunrise along South Boulder Creek near the Mesa Trailhead. Thinking it wouldn’t be too cold this dawn I was surprised to find myself in a stiff cold wind. Taking photos for only a little bit of time I soon retreated to the warmth of my Jeep and out of the cold wind. It sure looks like the season of Autumn …

First of Autumn

Being extremely busy lately I haven’t had the time to take too many photos. But since today is the official first day of Autumn, I just had to get out and take some photos. Even though there were barely any clouds floating in the skies, the sharp light and Autumn grasses made for a truly wonderful morning. I have an …

Cloudy Light

Another early morning for me and yet another ‘blah’ sunrise. Hopefully one of these mornings the conditions will allow for a spectacular sunrise! Perhaps next time :) Photos taken on Jefferson County & Boulder County Open Space Land.

Greenbelt Plateau

Prior to work this morning I caught the sunrise along the Greenbelt Plateau Trail in Boulder County. For this most part it was a rather typical early morning outting, complete with wildlife sightings and great scenery.
