Sundown on the Laramie Foothills

Sundown on the Laramie Foothills

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

TGIF! And a very happy upcoming Mother's Day to all of the moms!

Wintertide at the Laramie Foothills

Wintertide at the Laramie Foothills

I regularly hear that besides the Maroon Belles, Colorado simply doesn't have impressive mountains like those found at Glacier and the Tetons. To which I always think, bull pucky! We just have so dang many mountains that they all end up competing with each other for prominence, but take any one in isolation in a state lacking as many tall mountains and instant impressive alpine beauty.

Thankfully, subject isolation is something we can do with photography. ;-)))

I used to telephoto lens on this one to help compress the vertical to show off the Laramie Foothills north of Fort Collins, CO. This was shot at 240mm on a D300 for a 360mm equivalent.

Blue Berry Blizzard

Blue Berry Blizzard

Sorry, I couldn't resist the play on words, heh. ;-)))

We had a huge flock of migrating Mountain Bluebirds visit our neighbor's mountain ash tree during our recent big spring snowstorm. We regularly see robins and waxwings use this tree as a winter food source but this is the first migrating flock of bluebirds to visit and I wonder if it was due to the heavy snow catching them at the right time. After getting 22" last week, more is forecast for today!

Edit: I replaced the originally uploaded version with a slightly less sharpened one as the flickr re-sizing algorithm seemed to make it appear over-sharpened. Hopefully this version is better!
