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.

Early morning drive up to Rocky Mountain Park to see what I could capture at Bear Lake. They had gotten 4′ of fresh snow in the past three days. The storm had finally passed and the forecast for clear skies was good. However, the sunrise was a little diffused. I found my way out on Bear Lake standing in deep snow waiting for the sun to rise. The crescent moon caught my attention and I swung tripod around to focus on the treeline. The snow in the morning light created some amazing lighting on the fresh powder.

The snow was deep as I scrambled up the north side of the slope to get a high angle above Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. I had spend several hours shooting around the lake as well as in other areas of the park. As the sun was getting low, I came upon this coyote making his way near Moraine Park.

The northern Colorado publication The Senior Voice selected my image of two yellow-bellied marmots interacting near Rock Cut in Rocky Mountain National Park.

A blustery day up at Rocky Mountain National Park allowed me to capture the spindrift blowing around the peaks. There was a large elk herd in Moraine Park and I set up low in the creek bed for this angle.
