Mountain Ranch
These are some of the out buildings on the historic Beckwith Ranch near Westcliffe Colorado. The ranch is quite picturesque with the wide fields backed by the mountains contrasting the white buildings.
The Storm
After the first warning drops the clouds poured several times over the next two hours. The broken strands of one of the storms stream from Little Scraggy Peak as I start the final descent to the Colorado Trail.
North Fork
The North Fork trail cuts through the mountains near Conifer. For one month in early summer the mountains are green and rainy; the same picture taken in July would be a study in browns.
Bleached and Scalloped
The sandstone wall of Iceberg canyon is sheared where pieces have broken off, and streaked where the sparse water of the desert runs down it.
River Bends
The current and the old path of the San Juan River in Southern Utah.
Midday Hideout
This plateau fence lizard (Sceloporus tristichus) was hiding from the hot midday sun in the Colorado mountains.
mine head
An abandoned mine building above Leadville, CO. There are lots of old mine towns, but Leadville is special in how closely everything is grown together. Turn east on 7th street. Drive for 10 minutes. Congratulations, all the mines you could ever ask for.
wavy world
A reflection flip off a frozen beaver pond looks almost real, but adds an angry tint to the sky.
Red Canyon View
This is a view of the rocks which form Red Canyon near Cañon City Colorado. The color forms a striking contrast with that of the nearby mountains.
Heavy Seas
A blustery day often provides spectacular waves on Lake Superior, with strong East winds making the waves break impressively over the Superior Entry breakwater.
