After work this afternoon, I went to one of my favorite local gems Eldorado Canyon state park. Located just South of Boulder, CO this canyon is often overlooked but is a great destination for all nature lovers. One of my main reasons to going to the park today was to check up on all the Autumn colors. For the most …

Cold Day
As the first major snowstorm cleared out last night it left a hefty dumping of snow and extremely frigid temperatures this morning. Hoping to capture the fresh snow I awoke earlier than normal and ventured out. The temperature in my Jeep read 16F and with stiff wind from the West it felt more like in the single temperatures. The first …
First Snow
The first major snowstorm of the season hit late last night and early today. Having the urge to capture the fresh snow I brought along my camera gear today with the hopes of taking some photos. With a rather light workload today I decided to leave work early and head down towards Eldorado Canyon State Park. As I arrived at the …
Gold Canyon
Early this morning I drove into Eldorado Canyon to see how the Autumn colors were fairing. The colors were pretty good compared to the last few years and luckily the ever present wind in the canyon didn’t down all the leaves yet. Taking a few photos I decided to come back in the afternoon, when the sun would be illuminating …

Hazy Morning
After spending most of Saturday working on the website, I had the itch to capture some new images this morning.

As I struggled to fall asleep late last night I decided that I’d wake up early and catch the sunrise. With dense fog this morning I was hoping for some amazing conditions in Eldorado Canyon State Park. But unfortunately the fog was so dense that it blocked the majority of early morning light. Even with the lackluster conditions I still managed to …
Eldorado Afternoon
On my way home after work today I decided to check on the Autumn colors within Eldorado Canyon. I arrived just in time before the sun set over the mountains. I had about 15mintues of light to work with and what a great way to end the work day!

Eldo Morning
Before work this morning I decided to wake up a tad bit earlier than normal and head to Eldorado. As I entered the mouth of the canyon the winds picked up to a sustained gust. I started out by hiking around the stream beneath the bridge and then continued on up a trail. The light in the canyon is always …
Rattlesnake Gulch
Early this morning my friend and I decided to hike up Rattlesnake Gulch in Eldorado Canyon State Park. We got a early start and arrived at the trailhead at around 5:45am. After hiking for about half hour the sun began to rise above the Eastern Plains. Unfortunately this morning there wasn’t a cloud in the sky but it was still a …
