To escape the heat of the valley floor, we headed up to Dante's Point. There were clouds rolling in for the afternoon!!

We have thankfully received a great deal of snow in the last month, but that means all things that bloom this time of year have been smothered. Here is a watercolor-inspired image of a tulip from a month ago.

Come visit me at the May first Friday Art Walk in the Highlands! Fingers crossed the snow will have melted by then :-)

+David Cobb's image has been awarded 2nd place in the 2013 International Garden Photographer of the Year. This excellent slide show put together by the BBC features an amazing selection of the top images. David's photo appears at 1:57. Oregon did well with Dennis Frates taking the top award with his image of Crater Lake.

Owl Ice
It was a chilly morning in Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday morning, but warm enough during the day to keep the creeks flowing. That is the perfect recipe for interesting ice! This looks like an owl to me, how about you?

The Iconic Watchman
I was feeling nostalgic about our Utah trip last November so I decided to sift through my images from that trip. I can't believe I had forgotten about this one! We decided to get this iconic shot out of the way on our first evening in Zion so we went downstream from the bridge and hung out even though it was blustery and overcast. The clouds parted for a moment of epic light. If you haven't had the chance to check out Zion in the fall...GO!

Winter creeps into being while other seasons officially arrive. The ice fingers of winter encircled these recently fallen aspen leaves one morning in Rocky Mountain National Park. It had not officially snowed that night, but the frost was noticeably thick. Fall seemed to have just begun, but this morning was a reminder that winter is quickly approaching.
Shot last weekend in Rocky Mountain National Park with +John De Bord and his Fall Color Meetup!

It's FALL!! Okay, not according to the calendar, but according to all other things, autumn has arrived in Colorado.
For #macromonday here is my "Root Beer Float" What an odd name for a photograph of an aspen leaf, right? When I worked at a dude ranch, the wranglers used to tell the city folk that aspen leaves tasted like root beer to see if they would eat them. And they did! The background color looks like a root beer soda, so it seemed to fit.

A couple weeks ago Colorado was full of smoky haze from the Pacific Northwest fires. We headed east for sunrise hoping to see that fiery red sun we had seen from home the previous days, but halfway to Pawnee Buttes it started raining...hard. The much-needed rain washed away our haze and we were blessed with a beautiful sunrise nonetheless!

I have been thinking about this for the past month and I have finally put my thoughts down in writing. Is macro easy? What does that mean for me as a macro photographer? Ultimately, it is about doing what I love.

I am late to the #macromonday party, but better late then never, right?!? This was a happy accident this weekend. I was looking at a dark area near this plant and happened to notice the bee. I like the high-key look of the blown highlights, but I wonder what you think?
Gotta love +Macro Monday curated by +Jennifer Eden , +Kelli Seeger Kim , and +Kerry Murphy !

This beautiful calla was so beautifully shaped and positioned in a flower box this spring. I do not normally do very much black & white, but this one seemed to work well to me. What do you think?
