Hillside Meeting
Aspens are such a dignified tree. In every season they offer beauty to the landscape, jewels of contrast in an otherwise ‘conifer kingdom’…at least where I live. The West Boulder Valley is a great place to find scenes like this one and I’ll be visiting there quite a bit over the next few [...]
Last Stand
Another take on advancing shadows, this scene was along the Main Boulder route as I drove to the Natural Bridge. The clean, sharp edge of light gets me every time, and on this occasion it was no different. The shot had a high potential of being ‘blown out’, but a little drop in [...]
Bastion of Spring
Despite the fact that it’s been cold and rainy here in Montana for most of this spring, a few perfect days have shown their face and the landscape is fully alive with color…so color it is. I have to give part of the credit for this image to my buddy, Jay Wesler, and here’s [...]

To me it represents the pure and basic elements of nature as they exist together, a continual cycle of renewal that spans time beyond comprehension. Understandably, people are [...]
Falls on Full
Back about a month ago I posted an image of the Natural Bridge Falls, running at 200 CFS. Last night it finally went over 3,000 CFS and so today I headed back to get some shots of the water cresting the 105-foot cliff face. As this only happens for about a week each year, I [...]
Island Hopping
The title of this post might seem strange considering the images that follow, but I assure you it is most relevant. The Yellowstone River is very braided in sections and creates islands that are perfect for morels to grow unabated – few deer, fewer humans and no cows, plus tons of water to keep [...]
Gert’s Bow
This post is dedicated to my grandmother, Gertrude, whose health has taken a turn. She is an amazing woman full of wisdom, love and Faith, and my thoughts are with her and those at her side. I love you, grandma.
