  • As you climb on Interstate 70 west from Denver you will quickly find yourself in the mountains. After climbing in elevation at the exit for Genesee you are treated to a view of the Rocky Mountains which always gets your attention. After a spring snow storm in Denver I headed up to this spot to capture the scene with snow covered mountains.

  • Photographing and living in Denver has its benefits since I can visit the same areas over and over easily and watch them change. On this visit to City Park I went to a familiar spot and zoomed into the city a little to capture the fresh grass of spring at the park on this spring day in Denver.

  • Spring in the Mile High City. This is when the leaves start to come back to life as shown on the trees outside the center on Speer. With the snowiest months in the Denver in March and April you never know when spring will truly arrive though.

  • Spring snowstorms provide some great contrast in the Denver of winter and spring. Walking around City Park I found this group of trees showing their blossoms as the snow provided a winter covering on them. With the snow continuing the fall it wasn't long until the trees were fully covered in heavy snow on their branches.  This snow didn't last long as the temperatures started to warm up again during the week quickly making the snowstorm a memory to look back at in pictures and memories.

  • Over the weekend a fair amount of spring snow fell over Denver. With the warm temperatures many trees were already showing their blossoms which made for a nice scene to photograph. I headed out in the City Park area with my camera to capture some of these scenes. As I walked through the park I quickly found trees with red or white blossoms as well as trees already showing their leaves for the summer season. These colors made for an interesting contrast to the black, grey and white normally you would find in the winter.

  • You never know what to expect when spring is around in Denver, it could be 70 degrees one day and snow the next.  With this variety this makes it a great time to photograph around the city as the variety in color and potential for the snow in the city or mountains remains. On this day I was photographing around City Park and decided to make my way towards the golf course where I found trees in full bloom. Using this as a foreground I framed the city of Denver behind and naturally the mountains as well for this image.

  • Driving home recently from an event I drove past Invesco Field and from there noticed the skyline on a nice spring day. Everything has greened out even with some later snowfalls this year and the skyline is filling in nicely from this vantage point west of downtown. With the constant building taking place in Denver the past few years it will certainty look different in the next few years or sooner.

  • At the end of April 2013, I headed out to the plains to see how the growth was coming along for some future ideas for photographs.  During the scouting I came across some fields with fresh growth and those with contrasting color.  As I stood on the side of the road I worked with this concept and while moving the camera captured the fields before me. As I head back to this area in the summer it will be interesting to see how the fields change of the course of the growing season.

  • Just before the Memorial Weekend holiday in 2009, I headed to Rocky Mountain National Park. It takes a while to plow Trail Ridge Road and open it once again for the season as it tops out over 12,000 feet, however usually by Memorial Day Weekend it is open again connecting Estes Park with Grand Lake. While they are working on clearing the road you can park and walk up the road, on this evening I did just that and after walking a few miles still didn't come across the plows just the work they left behind. A clean road and tall banks of snow.

  • A spring storm is not uncommon in Denver and as most people left work to get home prior to the bulk of the snow fall, I headed towards Union Station to photograph the accumulating wet snow. The challenge in this image was the wind as my camera faced in a northern direction. With the wind howling, the vertical snow would start to build up on the lens which forced me to turn the camera and clean it after an image or two was captured. After nearly an hour in the conditions I ended up calling it a night and left to head home and thaw out.

  • On a windy spring day I was able to head up to the clock tower of East High School, which is the oldest high school in Denver but not the oldest school building.  The original East High School at 19th and Stout was demolished in 1925.  The East High School building has a clock tower modeled after Independence Hall in Philadelphia.  This tower sits 162 feet high and provides views of the Denver area from the location of the school near City Park. On this day I captured downtown Denver using the windows to frame the city making it slightly out of focus with a shallow depth of field.

  • Earlier in the spring I was scouting the area around the airport and noticed an aircraft on final approach to Denver International Airport. Looking down the road I had noticed the contrast of the two fields ahead and now the plane overflying one of those fields which got me thinking. I headed back to this location to capture some departures on this day as the aircraft quickly climbed over the Colorado plains.

  • As I was walking across the Auraria Campus during the Spring an earlier dusting of snow had stopped falling and the temperatures were starting to rise. This will any snow which really accumulated on the sidewalk to melt. I had just walked down this path when I turned around to notice the scene of trees lining the walk with a hint of fresh leaves on the trees.

  • One spring I was visiting the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve near Alamosa, Colorado. I was exploring the dunes prior to the wind picking up late one afternoon. Using my wide angle lens and getting low to the surface I wanted to bring a scene which a person could easily step into the image and place themselves on the dunes.

  • A spring storm dropped some snow along the Front Range of Colorado. With the warm temperatures the few days before this the accumulated snow did not amount to much but even so I grabbed my camera and headed out into the city. Walking near the Denver Art Museum I noticed the reflection of a building with the snow still on the granite bench for this image.

  • On a November day I was in Lower Downtown Denver for lunch and afterwards walked around the area with my camera. Under some nice light I captured the statue of ‘The Player’ which sits in front of the stadium at home plate on a mild day in the city. Just a little over three months until pitchers and catchers report for spring training.

  • In the spring of 2014, Doors Open Denver took place once again took place. This annual event gives you access to locations you would not normal be able to view throughout Denver. One of the last locations I visited during this event was Saint John's Cathedral just outside of downtown Denver. The access to the location where this image was taken was through a small stairwell which was pretty much one way traffic, but worth the climb for the different perspective. The current cathedral was built from 1909-1911.

  • One late spring I headed to City Park in Denver to photograph around the park.  As I walked near the pavilion in the park I noticed the fence along Ferril Lake in the park.  Leaning over the fence I captured the image of the pavilion in the park with the tower of East High School in the distance.

  • Denver experienced an April snowfall which nicely mixed with the start of spring. Throughout Denver you could see snow on new blossoms or leaves which had already started to show especially with the mild March. I headed to familiar spot to photograph the tree in Washington Park which I first encountered almost four year ago in similar conditions.

  • Just outside of Wrangell, Alaska I found this scene while riding Alaska Marine Highways to the south. The outcropping of trees in two instances with the ongoing water drew my attention when I took this image. Initially it was just the one instance but as the ship continued onward the second group appeared. With some little rain in the area the trees are facing the unknown in the spring in Southeast Alaska.

  • On a windy spring day I was able to head up to the clock tower of East High School, which is the oldest high school in Denver but not the oldest school building. The original East High School at 19th and Stout was demolished in 1925. The East High School building has a clock tower modeled after Independence Hall in Philadelphia. This tower sits 162 feet high and provides views of the Denver area from the location of the school near City Park. For this image I took some steps backs to include the lines and shadows entering the tower to provide a feel for the space in the building.

  • February this year was the start of the snow falling on a regular basis into the spring. Heading to Cheesman Park I found plenty of people out in the snow with their dogs, most likely the dogs enjoying the conditions more than those standing in the falling snow with windy conditions.

  • In the spring of 2009 I made by way to Rocky Mountain National Park to photograph along Trail Ridge Road.  The road was still in the process of being cleared for the season and scheduled to open in less than a week.  After photographing up the road a couple of miles I made my way back to my car. Noticing the road leading towards Longs Peak I put down my tripod and captured the image.  With the long exposure of thirty seconds it also caught the city lights of Boulder and Denver lighting up the clouds in the distance.

  • I headed up to Dinosaur Ridge to scout and take some images of a scene I first noticed a few years ago. The clouds were starting to move in so I wasn't sure if the weather would cooperate however you never know unless you are there. Once I found the location again I searched nearby for better areas and set-up my tripod be aware of small cactus in the area as well. As the sun set over the mountains I worked on some long exposures including the one in this post, leaving me better prepared as I head back to the area this spring.

  • Over the weekend I photographed in downtown Denver. As I was walking around at the eastern side of the downtown area, I would see Union Station down 17th Avenue. I finally made my way down to the train station and took some photographs on a nice spring day. It was hard to believe almost all of the snow from a few days earlier was gone and replaced with blue skies. The area around Union Station will also change in the upcoming years as it becomes the travel hub for Denver. It should be interesting to see how the changes shape up over time.

  • It is not uncommon to see snow in the fall around Denver even in October. This was one of those days when a light dusting of snow fell in Denver overnight greeted with clear skies in the morning. Getting close to the ground I focused on the grass an using a shallow depth of field put the trees in the background out of focus. This allows the viewer to have a sense of place but puts the attention on the snow in the fresh spring growth.

  • Along the Front Range it is not uncommon to get a late season snowfall and as I watched the snow fall from my office window on May 1st I grabbed my camera and headed towards the park. My initial plan was to photograph at the south end of Washington Park, but as I passed by the lake and noticed the steam rising the plan quickly changed. I photographed around the lake and after almost completing a loop found this tree. By this time the snow had started to turn to rain letting the grass of spring show through the wet snow.

  • During a trip in March to San Diego I was able to experience the fields of wildflowers near Carlsbad. Under soft light I walked through the fields and captured the spring growth.

  • As you walk through City Park there are great views of the city of Denver due to the proximity of the city to park. This is also true on the golf course, and on an early spring day I went to one of the more popular view of the city. For this image I decided to do something a little different and took the image as a vertical while also including the flag for the hole. The tall vertical of the flag worked well with two of the taller buildings in Denver in the background before heading beyond to the mountains.

  • During spring in Denver and you will never know when we may get a late season snowfall in the city. This image is when a couple of inches of snow fell in Denver. As I usually do when it snows I head out to capture some images around the city and on this day headed to the LoHi area. With the intersecting lines of the freeway and the bridge I used a long exposure to capture the traffic passing under the bridge along I-25.

  • It was a record high of 84 degrees on Sunday. It is spring in Denver. Yes, it snowed on Monday night into Tuesday producing scenes like this around the city. When I woke up Tuesday morning and looked out the window I knew I would be heading to Washington Park with my camera to photograph the tree I first found in a similar scenario on May 1, 2008. I did photograph that tree but decided to explore the park for a little while as the wet snow continued to fall. The tree above is one I first found in early 2008 and went looking for it in the snow. It was closer to my car then I remembered, which threw me off a little bit but after spending some time looking for a good angle created this image prior to heading home.

  • One autumn I was in the Steamboat Springs area and headed north towards Steamboat Lake State Park. As I got to the lake and saw the color towards Hahn's Peak I knew this was a place to stop and photograph. From the lake reflection, with a boat on it, to the fields across the lake with livestock all the way up Hahn's Peak with a hint of snowfall it was just a perfect scene that afternoon.

  • Heading back from Steamboat Springs a few years ago I made a stop on the way back along the road leading to the Flat Top Wilderness area. With a setting of aspen trees and plenty of columbine underneath I photographed in the area for a while. During this time I also played with some motion on the camera while photographing the aspen which is the image in this photograph. Using a small aperture, I was able to get a slow shutter speed which allowed me to move the camera giving this effect. It took a little while to find the right looking aspens, but the result in something which is almost three dimensional in look all created in-camera.

  • One summer on the way to Steamboat Springs I stopped at Rabbit Ears Pass to photograph the wildflowers which were in full bloom at that time.  While fighting off the mosquitos I found some paintbrush and using a shallow depth of focus allowed the other wildflowers to become out of focus in this image.
