Mountain Ranch
These are some of the out buildings on the historic Beckwith Ranch near Westcliffe Colorado. The ranch is quite picturesque with the wide fields backed by the mountains contrasting the white buildings.
Frosty Contrast
The white of the hoarfrost on these trees provides a strong contrast to the deep blue of the sky.
Scattered Blue
These grape hyacinth flowers add a bright pop to the colors in an early spring garden.
Golden Fields
This view of the sun setting over a grain field was spectacular, providing wonderful foliage to catch the backlighting.
Unfurling
The pleasing curves of an unrolling fern frond can be eye-catching in the spring forest undergrowth.
Midday Hideout
This plateau fence lizard (Sceloporus tristichus) was hiding from the hot midday sun in the Colorado mountains.
Show Off
This is one of a number of Lesser Goldfinches that were raiding some wild sunflowers in the Colorado mountains. They were fearless, but moved so quickly it was difficult to get a good picture.
Backlit Beauty
This Fritillary butterfly is enjoying the sunlight, which is providing a bright glow through its wings.
Whisp
The clouds moving through the night sky add an extra layer to this landscape.
Perfect Frame
This image is the result of several hours of photographing bowling, and is one of a long series of strikes.
