Under Color
Taken in the same region of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest as my recent Redemption in Color post, the undergrowth was so vibrant in this location that you could almost ‘hear’ the yellow. I wish I would have been able to shoot this scene a bit wider, but several old pines prevented me from opening things [...]
The Fog of Rut
With the colors of fall comes the rut, the time when “antlered ungulates mate.” Elk are well known for their distinct bugle during this period, a hauntingly beautiful call to any contending males in the area. Speaking of contending males, while searching for that bugle video, I came across this one…amazing! Though the season is [...]
Grand Teton Fall
Somehow winter snuck in…we received over a foot of snow in the last two days and it’s not even the middle of October. They’re expecting 40 inches in some parts of MT…crazy. I’ve not gotten out to take any shots yet, but that’s probably a good thing since I have a lot to post from [...]
Redemption in Color
The Caribou-Targhee National Forest runs through the southeast corner of Idaho and is home to one of my favorite dirt roads. Formally known as Grassy Lake Road, it was introduced to me as Redemption Road and is the name I’ve held onto. It begins in the ancient lava flows that have become today’s famous potato [...]
Point of Peace
I just returned from a 4-day photo adventure through some of my favorite regions of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming…all ablaze with the colors of fall. Like a stained glass kaleidoscope, the mountains and forests were something out of a myth. As has been said before, time flies…and boy, was I having fun. Despite all [...]
Archive Dive I
Last evening I was going through some images from 2003, back when I was using my first digital camera. A 3.2 megapixel wonder, I disliked it quite a bit until I figured out how to manipulate the camera’s automatic settings to give me more manual control. After that it was a rare thing to find [...]
The Bend
Last year saw some of Montana and Idaho’s worst wildfires in many years. The smoke plumes were so large they were easily photographed from space by both NASA satellites and an astronaut aboard the International Space Station…using only a hand-held camera with a 200mm lens. It made for some difficult photography down here [...]
