Leaving Cody early this morning we drove to the East entrance of Yellowstone National Park. We arrived at the park just before the sunrise and stopped a few times along the road. When we approached Yellowstone Lake the steam vents at Steamboat point were tainting the air with a wonderous sulfur smell. Something that we’d be smelling for more or less the rest of the …

Plain Morning
Lately I haven’t been getting much sleep so today I decided to take advantage of that and catch the sunrise. After jumping out of bed I left the house around 5AM and headed to Plainview.

Spring Light
Spring is here! And I finally got a chance to experience the Spring light this morning out in Jefferson County. This area, located just south of Eldorado Canyon, is one of my favorite places during the Spring. The flowers are just starting to emerge and the Elk have decended onto the open grasslands. Its amazing to think I live so close to …

I was taking …

Rocky Mountain Sunrise
We headed out early Saturday Morning(4:30AM) to catch the sunrise up on Trail Ridge Road. The sunrise wasn’t as vibrant as normal but that had to do with the haze from the forest fires. On this morning there were quite a bit of animals out and about: Deer, Elk and Moose to name a few. Today was the first time …
Elk Day
After jumping out of bed and relizing that it was to be a beautiful day, I quickly headed to my favorite location. I had noticed the day before that the Elk had moved from the Foothills to the flat lands adajacent to the location. After arriving to the Open Space this morning I spotted part of the herd and started …
