Red Rock Lake #1

Red Rock Lake is a small alpine tarn in the Indian Peaks Wilderness near Brainard Lake. This is a nice scene with the lake reflecting the landscape like glass.

I composed this scene near the summit of Hawksbill in Shenandah National Park but it felt like there was something missing. So I set the camera timer and went and stood in the frame.

Even in winter dormancy there is beauty in nature's details. Here, a leafless and indiscriminate bush sets the stage for the winter sun's fiery mood.

Ducks at Crown Hill Lake

It's hard to believe this is mid-December...well, not if you live in Colorado. What an incredible day to be outside. The sky and clouds were just amazing all day. I spent several hours taking photos. This is one of my favorites.
