February 16, 2013 - Yellowstone National Park. This is a scene I captured while trekking through Yellowstone National Park during my Winter Adventour Escape. I couldn't find a sign that marked the name of this particular waterfall, so I suspect it's just one of many unnamed waterfalls in the park.
February 16, 2013 - Yellowstone National Park. This is a scene I captured while trekking through Yellowstone National Park that was part of my Winter Adventour Escape. This particular shot was taken while walking along the Fountain Paint Pot Nature Trail. The Fountain Paint Pot area contains many marvelous geological wonders, including this Hot Spring - the Silex Spring.  The origin of the Silex Spring begins deep beneath the Earth's crust. Heat from molten rock rises up through solid rock, and heats up circulating ground water. The heated ground water rises to the surface by following cracks and fissures upwards. What you see here is the hot water breaking the Earth's surface, and forming a wonderful looking Hot Spring. The warm water looked particularly inviting - especially since it was bitterly cold when I took this shot. BUT... the smell of burning sulfur made me think twice about jumping in.
February 16, 2013 - Yellowstone National Park. I took advantage of some vacation time from work and headed out to Yellowston National Park. Visiting Yellowstone in the Winter season has been on my bucket list for quite some time, and I'm really glad I took the time from work to visit the park. I booked a snowmobile tour of the park with an outfit called Scenic Safari Adventures. This shot was taken a few miles in from the south entrance. I don't recall seeing a sign that identified the name of this particular waterfall. The weather was not ideal for photography - extremely overcast skies and snowing fairly heavily. I thought that since the light was so flat on this particular day, this particular shot would translate well into a B&W.
February 21, 2013 - Another nice snowfall occurred in the Denver Colorado area. The freshly fallen snow inspired me to get outdoors with my camera and take a few landscape shots. The weather also brought out a few of the critters in the area. I was driving down the road and happened to catch sight of a pack of coyotes hunting for dinner. I managed to capture this shot while the coyote was trying to dig something out of the snow (I suspect the coyote was digging after a rabbit). If you look closely (not too closely - you'll see how noisy this shot is) you'll notice that this guy is missing a hind leg.
February 15, 2013 - A wide open view of the Rocky Mountains and surrounding plains as I traveled down highway 191 in Wyoming.
Februaury 7, 2013 - The Denver area received another welcomed snowfall on the evening of Feb 6th. Denver depends on the melting snow to refill empty reservoirs so there is good supply of water once Spring and Summer roll around. I took a leisurely drive into the office on the morning of the 7th to stop and capture some of the beautiful landscape covered by the freshly fallen snow. The fog lying low over this field and the morning light falling on the trees from the rising sun caught my eye, so I decided to stop  and capture the moment.
February 2, 2013 - I drive past this barn every morning on my was to work. And every morning I keep telling myself that I need to stop and photograph it someday. Well, today was that 'someday'. I knew from the orientation of the barn that morning light would be the best time to photograph it. I woke up early on Saturday morning and ventured out into the dark farm field to set up for my shot. When the sun just started to peak over the horizon I captured this image. As a bonus, I was able to capture the moon in the same shot!
January 29, 2013 - The Denver Colorado region got a welcomed snow fall during the evening of the 28th, and in the morning the snow covered trees and mountains looked amazing. I took a bit of an extended lunch during my work day on the 29th to photograph some of the freshly fallen snow landscapes.  The white snow contrasted by the red rocks and green pine trees inspired me to capture this scene.
