Waxing Moon Setting over First Flatiron

Saturday, October 20th, 2012

I was up in Boulder checking out the fall colors along Mapleton Avenue and finding the gardners had just mowed there really drove me away. So I headed up to Chautauqua Park to see if I could catch the setting waxing crescent moon setting over the flatirons before heading to my monthly Colorado Nature Camera [...]

Chautauqua Park – Black and White – I

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

Please tell me what you think about either of these three images from Chautauqua Park. These have been converted and tweaked in Lightroom from their original color captures. Also, two images are of the same basic composition, just that one is landscape oriented, while the other is portrait oriented. Enjoy…

Chautauqua Park

Saturday, February 12th, 2011

After our recent blizzard storm, I knew the clouds were clearing out overnight and that the Flatirons at Chautauqua Park would be coated white in the cold cold air, that I wanted to head over there on my way to work one morning last week. So this is actually one of the last images of [...]

Pending Storm

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Here are a couple images from Chautauqua Park yesterday just prior to a portrait shoot. The pending storm was starting to build after an overnight dusting prepped the ground. A couple treks off on an early morning hike along the base of the Flatirons.

Julia’s Senior Portrait

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

A quilting friend of my wife (and good friend of the family) asked me to take her daughter Julia’s senior portrait this past summer. So we headed up to one of my favorite spots in Colorado: Chautauqua Park in Boulder and had a fabulous session. She’s so photogenic, too. After seeing these images on my [...]

Rachel’s Senior Portrait Session

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

A friend of a friend of a friend asked me to photography their daughter Rachel for her senior portrait. Rachel and her family are from Michigan and here in Colorado on vacation this week. So we made plans several weeks ago to meet up at Boulder’s Chautauqua Park early in the morning. Here are a [...]

Spring Snow on the Flatirons

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

To break up the Tulip photos sequence, here’s one more image from the Chautauqua Park Flatirons shoot from a couple of weekends ago, again in the snow. The Flatirons are the slabs of Flagstone that appear to be leaning against the mountainside in the picture. The first three are numbered starting with the first Flatiron [...]

Flatirons and Seasonal Creek Draw

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Another image from my adventure to Chautauqua Park last Sunday, the morning after a strong spring storm had dumped several feet of snow in the mountains just to the west, as you can see, about 5 inches of slush fell here at the park (and no accumulation at my house just 8 miles to the [...]

Chautauqua Park and Flatirons

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Here’s another image from last Sunday’s trip to Chautauqua Park to view the Flatirons in the sprint snow.

Hunting for Breakfast

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

While out shooting the Flatirons this morning, I came across this mother fox out hunting for her two pups. I’ve never seen this behavior outside of TV, so this was an extra special treat for me today. This was right along Baseline Rd, on the north end of Chautauqua Meadow. The fox didn’t seem to [...]
