I just realized I never shared photos from my last I just realized I never shared photos from my last hurrah of the summer last weekend into the Indian Peaks. ColoRADo, you so fine. #coloRADo #indianpeaks #goodbyesummer
I have the worst coyote luck. I was so stoked to c I have the worst coyote luck. I was so stoked to cross paths with this huge and beautiful soul. She was waiting for someone - she kept looking longingly up toward the ridgeline above, I’m guessing waiting for her pack to follow, but they never appeared (likely spooked by me). She eventually gave up on them following her and went back the way she came. #coyote
I suppose I should also welcome fall today. Hello, I suppose I should also welcome fall today. Hello, autumn. Thank you for your vivid colors, quiet trails, and introspection. While summer fills my cup, fall is my favorite. It’s the time that I sit down with my full cup from summer, take quiet sips, and enjoy. Its usually a time of solitude after a summer of friendship - but admittedly, fall feels a little lonely this time around. But it’s okay. One day we’ll be sipping hot coffee together again on a frosty morning. Happy fall, friends.🍁 #fallorado #coloRADo #firstdayoffall
I forgot to say goodbye to summer yesterday. I ten I forgot to say goodbye to summer yesterday. I tend to gauge my entire year on how fulfilling my summer was. I’m not sure why. For as much beauty as mountain summer holds, it also holds a lot of pressure to go go go, to wake up at 3am to beat storms, to check off bucket lists, to both savor, and go, at the same time 🤷‍♀️. This summer was a weird one, I doubt I need to explain why. We all did our best though, right? So the flowers are gone, the pikas and marmots will soon disappear underground, the larger mammals will fight it out for the chance to make spring babies, the leaves will glow then brown, and I’ll turn inward and ground a bit as I always do in the fall. Regardless how “successful” it was, I’m still grateful for another summer alive on planet earth. Now, go put on a scarf and drink some pumpkin flavored shit. 🎃 #goodbyesummer #mountainsummer #coloRADo
Stumbled upon a pretty awesome scene today of two Stumbled upon a pretty awesome scene today of two different elk harems and their bulls in Lake Estes today. As the elk do in Estes Park, they completely disregarded all of the people recreating around the lake and charged through the crowd and created quite havoc. Even I, while taking photos from a very safe distance, nearly had a heart attack when I turned to see 3 bulls snuck up merely 6 feet behind me trying to pass through the crowd into the lake to join the herd. The bulls were bugling and sparring. It was wild. Total chaos, but also the quintessential #ColoRADo elk rut experience!
#tbt to last year on my annual Montana and Wyoming #tbt to last year on my annual Montana and Wyoming photo trip where I have managed to catch the first real snow storm every year for the past 4 years...and managed to miss the closed seasonal roads by sometimes only a couple hours. (Except last year when they closed the roads in front of me in Yellowstone and I had to take an 8 HOUR detour home). #wyoming
#DUKEFOX sauntered up as I was cleaning the garage #DUKEFOX sauntered up as I was cleaning the garage last night and found a nice photogenic spot of evening sunlight to relax in while he watched me do all the work and didn’t even offer to help. 😆
Bugles echoing through the valley and off the peak Bugles echoing through the valley and off the peaks in every direction this morning. The big boys are putting on quite the show right now! #elkrut #bullelk #TAKEPHOTOSNOTLIVES
