While we were in Golden Gate State Park, we decided to take a look at the group campground they have there. We took a short hike up some rocks and got a great view around the area. Just across the way, this group of aspens was peeking though the trees. Golden Gate is a bit […]
This was one of my favorite shots of our trip out on Thursday to take in the beautiful Colorado fall colors. The vast array of colors shown in this shot are what makes it so great for me. I was lucky to get this shot. The sun was just about to duck behind the mountain […]
Ever wonder what the autumn is like in Colorado? This should give you glimpse of why I love Colorado. On our drive up the Peak to Peak highway, we ran across this mountain side that exploded with color. It was so wonderful everyone just has to stop by the side of the road and take […]
The aspens have exploded in color here in Colorado. We decided to take a day off on Thursday (9/28/11 for reference) and headed out from Denver up though Golden Gate State Park and then headed north from on the Peak to Peak Highway (119) to Ward. The colors are incredible all the way, but one […]
My Dad, Brother and I took the day off work and headed out up to Butlers Gulch for a nice day hike. We climbed though the trees and then followed the stream up where the wild flowers were nearly 3 feet tall. We emerged from the trees and ascended up though a beautiful meadow where we found […]
I’ve tried a few time in the past to successfully get a picture that shows spiraling star trails but haven’t had much luck. Well I think I finally figured it out! I took a number of star trail photos while we were camping over last weekend, but this one was my favorite. I really liked the trees […]
We went camping over this last weekend and I had a chance to try and take some more pictures of the stars. Luckily the clouds cleared out just in time for the Milky Way to come out and bless us with a beautiful sight. I attempted to take some shots of the Milky Way when […]
Flying into Portland, Oregon, you get a great view of a number of volcanos. Depending on which side of the plane you sit on, you either get to see Mt. Adams and Mt. St Helens or you get to see Mt. Hood. I think if you squint really hard you can see Mt. McKinley as […]
Tonight marked the Super Perigee Moon. A moon this large hasn’t been seen for almost 20 years. Unfortunately for us here in Colorado, the winds blew in the clouds and I didn’t get to see the Super Moon. Lesson learned though, with an event like this, always go no matter what you think the conditions […]
The Follow The Setting Sun sculpture at the Pioneer Museum in Colorado Springs. It sits on the east side of the historic building giving a magnificent view. We were lucky enough to head down here when there was no one around and also with decent cloud cover and a setting sun. The old clock reminds […]
