Collection: New Work

This view in the San Juans is one of my favorites, especially as the ruddy light of the setting sun highlights the distant mountain peaks.   I'd love to spend some time living in that cabin!

This is a sister image to Stars over Dream Lake, again highlighting the peaceful (albeit very cold!) night over a winter's lake under the mountains.

Beaver have been at work here, making lush blue ponds amid the golden fall shrubbery and below the first snows of winter.  Truly a safe haven for all life!

Grasses by the side of the lake, patiently waiting though the harsh winter for the warmth of Spring.

The snow-clad Sangre de Cristo mountains shimmer behind granite outcrops on Pikes Peak.  

The moon shines over Sprague Lake while the rising sun lights the snowy peaks with its ruddy glow.  Peaceful beauty at Rocky Mountain National Park!

A winter's Sunrise in Rocky Mountain National Park, with the moon glowing above. I love the rich yellows and oranges of the valley contrasting with the bright blue sky over the snowy mountains.  A perfect peaceful morning!

A winter's dawn at Sprague Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park.  I love the sky colors when morning light first approaches; add the reflections of the snowy mountains and it makes for a perfect peaceful morning!

I was struck how a beam of sun made the golden aspen and cottonwoods glow at the entrance to the mountain valley!

Mesa arch provides a spectacular natural frame around the chimneys and mesas of Canyonlands National Park, with the La Sal Mountains in the distance.

The Crags is one of my favorite local hikes: it offers spectacular views both near and far.  Here the distant Collegiate Range, bathed in the glow of sunrise, peaks through intervening hills  rising above a sea of fog.

The last light on the horizon lights Long's Peak above frozen Bear Lake as stars twinkle above.  Rock Mountain National Park.

The Winter Milky Way isn't photographed as commonly as the brighter summer Milky Way, but I still find beauty in its delicate shimmer.  You can also see the Orion, Flame, and Rosetta nebulas, and multiple star clusters glowing over the snow-clad peaks!

I love the layers of hills and mountains that can be seen in Colorado.?ÿ The scenery goes on seemingly forever ....

This is a favorite view at Mueller State Park,?ÿ The rugged granite outcrops, pine and aspen trees are lit by moonlight with the Collegiate range in the distance and the stars shimmering above.?ÿ?ÿ

Spruce Mountain is wonderful in winter when the fog and falling snow add depth to the sleeping landscape.

The peace of a winter snowfall, it's hush enhancing the whisper of the softly falling flakes.?ÿ?ÿ

Boulder Mountain rises from the red-rock desert of central Utah as a lush, green oasis.?ÿ It makes a beautiful contrast in this landscape photograph.

I love the towering white trunks of aspen, and the way the golden crown mirror the leafless trees below.

The rich colors of late fall and snow-capped mountains: perfection!

Butterflies and flowers always bring joy to summer!
