Hare in the Snow

Photo and video by me - snowshoe hare in the fresh Rocky Mountain National Park snow - discovered while snowshoeing in the park yesterday.

and here's a grainy video of some coyotes playing in the park as well:

Snow Play

We enjoyed the figid weekend in Steamboat Springs - snowshoeing, hot springs, sledding, and good friends. Check out this awesome video of our friend Sally on the sledding ramp we built (perhaps a little too high)...

Here's a couple other images from the weekend:

Very strong winds at the Loch.

The week(end)

I stopped by the new Native American galleries at the Denver Art Museum on Friday - fantastic updates/exhibitions including the above print by Edward Curtis.

Saw three live music shows this week - the best by far was a mesmerizing, intense set by Wovenhand. Photo from the show (above) by Peter Hyde.

Spent Sunday afternoon at the Tarryall Reservoir amongst rock formations and ice.

New Year - New Photos

We took these photos in Moab, Utah where it was much snowier than we expected but really beautiful an a other-worldly way.

Our road out of Moab looked like this:

We saw this bald eagle off of I-70 near (appropriately) Eagle, Colorado

Through the Frost

Photos by Lorna Cochrane through the frost on our windows.

A winter landscape photo by Lee Sullivan (I think) - this was found at the flea market with a bunch of other fantastic photos I scanned and you can view here.

Swiss Photos

I've been re-blogging quite a bit lately, which I try not to do to much of - it is nearing the end of the semester and with that and the holidays I've been pretty busy. I'm now up to 49 "followers" and I've enjoyed reading more comments on the blog lately. Here are two photos that (like a lot of what I post) are surely posted nowhere else on the net:


These photos were taken in the Swiss Alps - sent to me from a childhood pen-pal residing there.

Last Night's Snow

I took these photos late last night (look at them full size):

Parking Lot Icebergs

I took these photos last Friday.

What do we know

Pine tree tops

In the blue night
frost haze, the sky glows
with the moon
pine tree tops
bend snow-blue, fade
into sky, frost, starlight.
The creak of boots.
Rabbit tracks, deer tracks,
what do we know.

New Aerial Photo

I took this today while flying over the front range. Denver doesn't have any snow, but the high mountains do.
