Cold Sawhill

For the first time in quite a while  my Father and I ventured out into the pre-dawn darkness to do some photography. We decided to head North to the Sawhill Ponds in Eastern Boulder County. As we arrived, some 30 minutes before the sunrise, the clear skies above made for some extremely cold temperatures. After braving the weather for an …

Morning at the Pass

This morning my Father and I captured the sunrise at Pass Lake near Loveland Pass, CO. We originally planned on hiking up in the Indian Peaks Wilderness, Lake Isabelle to be exact, but decided to get a little bit more sleep and venture somewhere closer. Arriving at the lake just before sunrise we had some time to locate alpine flowers and do a little birdwatching. As …

Mount Evans Dawn

With Summer fast approaching it’s only a matter of time before most of the snow in the higher terrain to become all but a memory. And so yesterday afternoon my Father and I decided to meet up early this morning and catch the sunrise on Mount Evans. After picking up my Father in Arvada we drove the 45mins to echo …

Lake Morning

Never been one to sleep outside I awoke multiple times during the cool night. Eventually waking up before the sunrise, my father and I grabbed our camera gear and headed to the point we visited yesterday evening. The calm morning breeze and colorful clouds added to the serenity of the lake below. What a great time with family and nature, hopefully we’ll …

The trip was done on short notice so after not finding places near Denver we settled on camping at Lake Pueblo State Park. Located just west of downtown Pueblo, CO the lake offers quite a …

Yellowstone Morning

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 …

Creekside

I met up with my brother Gabe this morning at Prospect Park in Wheat Ridge, CO. We decided to talk his dog Lucy for a walk alongside Cleer Creek. Along the creek we saw quite a lot of wildlife including at least 5 juvenile Coopers Hawks and a Six-lined Racerunner Lizard. We were there for a few hours before the heat made it …

Frigid Dawn

I woke up early today and caught the sunrise at the Sawhill ponds just East of Boulder, CO. The temperature was hovering around 4F but the soft breezes made it feel even colder! I took a few shots of the thick frost coating and wasn’t surprised to find myself alone on such a morning. Even though it was cold it …
