I imagined this photo when I saw the bright light and clear skies with this white structure and white fence. I think it works pretty well, but I might have done better one step back and including the base of the fence post.
This structure is on top of Big Mesa near Gunnison, Co. More info on these here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHF_omnidirectional_range

I was really impressed walking back from Aspen how the flowers are staying around so late up high. It was spectacular up on W. Maroon Pass. Flowers like I've never seen!

My son really impressed us by hiking up to over 13,000 Ft. here on Uncompahgre Peak in the San Juan range. We had great weather and a fun trip. I even got a little summer skiing in!
This panorama was made with 7 individual images stitched with Microsoft ICE, a free photo stitching tool.

They turned off the lifts at Crested Butte for the season and Monarch isn't far behind. Now I'm really starting to think about summer even though I may still ski another time or two under my own power.
This shot was from our favorite family camping spot off Ohio Pass last summer. A strong beam of light was breaking through the trees to light up this columbine on the dark forest floor.

This was shot last summer when things looked pretty different around here. I came across it the other day and hadn't done any processing on this one yet so I decided to see what I could make of it. As much as I love winter and snow, this does make me miss those long warm summer days a little. But they will be back soon enough. Now, back to the season at hand!

Caught some nice light for some HDR experimentation today. Cold but nice out there.

Nice day for a hike last weekend. Too bad because we really need more snow! The higher mountains have some but we are very dry here in the valley. Hopefully this will change soon!

We hiked up the Notch trail a Hartman Rocks on a nice sunny day.
I love days like this.

I had a nice hike with my son yesterday on the Dillon Pinnacles trail near Blue Mesa Reservoir. Nice day, fun hike, and some good photo opportunities. Gallery here.
