CO Dreaming

Click the pic for a bigger view Might as well start a Monday off by day dreaming.   My wife and I have longed to live in CO.  We have camped and skied all over the  state and always leave wanting more. Today’s image is from our summer trip to Durango.  I captured this amazing view…

Point of View

Click the pic for a bigger view Quick post today as we are packing up for a high country camping trip.  Fall colors here we come. Today’s image is a quirky view of the train bridge that spans Tempe Town Lake.  I have shot here so many times I feel like I’m running out of…

Lightning strike caught in the Arizona desert.

Cracked

Click the pic for a bigger view It’s been awhile since I posted a lightning strike so I figured it’s time.  We had some thunderstorms roll through on Tuesday night which proved to be a pretty good light show. I got out late chasing the storms and quickly learned they were fast moving.  After about…

Desert Rain

Click the pic for a larger view Storm chasing this year was a lot of fun for me.  Not only did I get to see some awesome spectacles of nature, I met some new photog friends (Scott Wood & Bryan Snider) as well. Granted it is not a cheap thing to do, driving upwards of…

Aspen trees in Durango Colorado

Aspen

Today’s post will be quick and simple.  Here we have some Aspens growing in Colorado. Anytime I see an Aspen I immediately think of the Rocky Mountains. Known for their shimmering leaves, it shouldn’t be much longer until they turn to their signature gold color.  They are truly a sight to behold. Hopefully this year…
