This image is the color version of the black and white image from the previous post (which you can see here). I flip flop between which one I like better depending on my mood, however today I am leaning towards the color vesion. Here is the black and white version:
“Wind Blown Ice on Alpine Trees, Snowy Range Mountains, Wyoming” This is what a forest looks like at 11,000 feet in June on the Medicine Bow Peak Trail on the way to the peak of the Snowy Range Mountains in Wyoming. The wind is always whipping down the slopes from the west and causes these…
After a morning of fishing around Brooks Lake in Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming, a summer afternoon storm started to roll in. Right on cue when you are in the mountains this time of year. I took this image right before it thundered and hailed for a bit while I comforted my cowering dog in…
“Elk grazing under a stormy sunset, Yellowstone National” I think I’ll end the night with this photo. After a long day of doing field research in Yellowstone National Park, I was driving back to camp around the northern entrance of the park, took a second to look out my window and immediately found a place…

Make sure to take some time and be patient and you might see some meteors or fireballs despite the full moon. Look to the upper left of Orion to find the Gemini constellation. You can even get the app MeteorCounter and collect some data for NASA!
I took this one just outside of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming on a warm summers night. Wyoming never fails to give you a sense of vastness with each sunset. What this picture doesnât show is the wicked winds that ripped and tore through our camp that evening!
This is an image from about a year ago that I took in August while in Grand Teton National Park. Taking photographs of the Cathedral Group of peaks (Teewinot, Grand, and Mount Owen) never gets old. This particular image has the Grand to the left, its highest peak with clouds clinging to it, and Mount…
I realize now that what I could have done better, like not stop and put on another layer so that I could have had a regular spacing of the progression of the moon, but I’m overall pretty satisfied for a first try at a photo like this… and even without any coffee! The eclipse was…
Have you picked out your spot to look at or photograph the blood red moon tomorrow morning before dawn? Trust me, I’ll be worth it. Set you alarms early, have a bag with coffee, food, and warm clothes packed already, and roll out of bed to see it! The moon already looks larger than usual….
