We arrived as planned at 4 am, a crisp 37 degrees greeted us at the 10,000 [...]

The Best Kept Secret in Colorado
Thursday, December 18th, 2008With winter among us here in Craig, Colorado, the best kept secret in Colorado is out. This is winter range for the wildlife, which I love to photograph and the best is that I can stand at our picture window and snap away. I was quite delighted to find this trophy mule deer buck and [...]
Our First Colorado Christmas Tree
Friday, December 12th, 2008When does a Christmas Tree begin to look good? Just like the old bar saying…the longer it took, the better they looked. It was a chilly evening by the time we completed our list of things to do in town when we decided it was time to get the tree. It was early evening we got to [...]
Mandell Trail, Flat Tops Wilderness, Colorado
Thursday, November 13th, 2008Such untarnished beauty, a place of solitude and peacefulness, rugged and raw, untouched by human intervention. What place am I talking about? The Flat Top Wilderness, the place when hiking is mentioned that comes to my mind of the ultimate hike. The challenge I am preparing for myself. I’m jealous because Dalton has been there [...]

Shootin’ ‘em up in Colorado
Friday, October 24th, 2008Almost sounds like a ‘how the west was won’ article, but not quite. It’s just Jeff, Dalton and I target shooting. If you’ve kept up to date, you know by now, we didn’t get that elk during bow season and if you’ve ever tasted elk meat, you’d have a drive as strong as ours!
