Today was all about birds, especially owls! I spent the morning photographing a Great Horned Owl family in Scottsdale, Arizona. By evening, I was two hours away at Saguaro National Park near Tucson, photographing an Elf Owl. What a memorable day!

I’ve long wanted to photograph the Big Crane Petroglyph, a historic site that fascinated me. On a cold night, I made it a priority and hiked aimlessly the next morning. Just as I was about to give up, I looked up—and there it was!

Traveling from Colorado’s snowy peaks to Utah’s sunlit deserts reveals a striking contrast: crisp mountain air to warm desert breezes, vibrant red rocks, and ancient cliffs, showcasing nature’s powerful transformation.

Back in 2021, I went on a road trip from Colorado to Canada. Somehow, I took images that I’d forgotten about. Strange, I know. Images from Lake Louise were seemingly lost in the shuffle.

Sunrise moves quick. If you are shooting more than one composition, be prepared to be busy!

The Cold Moon found me busy with moonrise workshops and moonset solo shoots.

The Front Range got slammed with snow! I had to go get some images! I had five compositions in mind. I hoped to bag them all!

Pikes Peak’s Warm Glow

I debated whether or not I was going to go out with the camera to photograph the sunset, but was there really ever a debate?

This morning’s plan didn’t survive first contact with the moon.
