A chilly day spent in Rocky Mountain National Park. Went all the way up Trail Ridge, above 12,000 feet, where the wind was whipping and a light snow was blowing at this high altitude.     After coming back down through Moraine Park, the magic light began to happen.

New Mexico was calling and I spent 4 days around Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Taos and Chimayo. Once again rain found me nearly every day. The ancient ruins at Bandelier National Monument were amazing. I felt that the ladder needed a little bit of Edward Curtis sepia tone. Quite a bit of my time was spent shooting several old mission in Taos and Chimayo.

 One week  in New Hampshire that came with 7 days full of rain. The woods were lush with ferns and moss. Even found a few red maples.  Not much t shoot on the coast during this week.

This was a part of NANPA’s Nature Photography Day. I headed up the Cache la Poudre canyon to see what might catch my eye. Came across this bolder sticking up and it seemed to be fighting the river currents.

   I am fortunate enough to see this small herd of paint horses nearly every day. The foals were barely a few days old when I photographed them.   I felt that the “Into the Wind” image needed a special sepia tone treatment.

    In the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone I came across a grizzly that had the herd of several hundred bison & calves on the run. One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. The griz stopped for a few seconds to raise up on two legs to give me a look and then went back to the bison.
