More Autumn Colors

I shot this tree in the early morning hours on my way to work a while back. What you see in the foreground is a hay field, crops surrounding me on all sides. If you're from to the area, Ted's Place is just to the right of the frame.

Autumn Colors And Fog

I made this photo in the early morning hours in Poudre Canyon a couple weeks ago. I really love this time of year.

Autumn Colors in Rocky Mountain National Park

Taken at Sprague Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park.

The trip to RMNP was mostly shot thanks to the weather. I really wanted gold trees with blue skies, but the heavy clouds and rain wasn't all bad.

Poudre Fog

A couple of days ago I walked outside to go to work and found this really cool patch of fog nestled in an offshoot from Poudre Canyon.

The house you see is our next door neighbor, a few hundred yards away. They supposedly only visit this cabin once a year for a week while on vacation. In the ten months I've been living here, I've yet to see them.

Chromed Engine

Taken at a car show in Fort Collins in June. That's quite an engine.

Steam

This is the road in front of my home. It was raining and the sun came out, causing steam to rise above the road. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't do justice to how it really looked.

Sushi!

Back in June we started making sushi at home. Pictured here is a plate of salmon and tuna nigiri.

YUM

Little Bull

A young bull, high up in State Forest State Park, CO. Notice the fluffy fur on him. That's thanks to our 10,000 foot elevation.

Gold Rush Time

I'm excited to be making plans to head into Rocky Mountain National Park tomorrow. I've been meaning to head into the park to view and photograph the "Gold Rush". At this time of year, all the aspen trees are bright gold before losing their leaves.

Life keeps getting in the way though, and this is my last chance to see and photograph the trees before the leaves fall and the snow starts dumping in a few weeks.

The shot above was taken in the park one year ago this week. We were here on an exploration trip, deciding whether we wanted to move here from Texas or not. A year later, we're glad we did.

Needles

No uranium mining in Colorado

There is a proposal to open a uranium mine in northern Colorado. Lots of residents are up in arms, and I see these bumper stickers all over.
