Good news: rainbow season is back. One of my favor

Good news: rainbow season is back. One of my favorite things about my home is that during monsoon season I get to witness spectacular rainbows. Todays rainbow was one of the brightest I’ve seen! 🌈 #COLORado #rainbow

Finally made it to the Paint Mines yesterday and they did not disappoint. For as much as I love long miles, big days, and questionably-fun adventure - after a winter of running and training pressure I’m thoroughly enjoying reasons to slow down and explore without time or pace or pressure. Just wandering and taking photos and being present. 🩷 #coloRADo

It’s still winter up here, it seems. Spring is fighting its way through though. Under the snow that melts off by late afternoon, green grass and bulbs are beginning to grow.

A wildlife photography technique I love playing around with is when the sun is bright and high in the sky (which is light that is not optimal for any type of photography) is to waaay underexpose the image. The result can be dramatic. The brights will be expose nicely, and the background and shadows will disappear into darkness. I love how this image came out in lighting that would otherwise not even be worth pulling out my camera in. 🦊#DUKEFOX #redfox
