Well, it happened again. There’s just something about fall colors in the high country that attracts my photography eye almost as much as sunsets. So… on September 23rd, I reserved a room in Frisco, and drove up at about 3pm.

Fall is in the air, and it’s about time I got up to shoot some pictures. Here’s an album from a quick trip with Gregg Lowrimore to the Indian Peaks area, specifically up to Fourth of July parking log, up to the Moffatt Tunnel entrance (and up towards Rollin’s Pass), then south down the Peak to Peak highway, through Golden Gate Park and back home.
On this 5th anniversary of 9/11/2001, I was thinking back to where I was on that date. I was re-reading my original messages and stories from our trip home after 9/11. Yes, we were there, and yes, we fared far better than many, many people.

A bunch of FRPS members tried to go shoot sunflowers on the weekend and got rained out, so I decided to get up at sunrise on Wednesday morning when the weather was much better.
Finally, after far too long out of the high-country, we got a group together and went on a camping trip to Monarch Park, just below Monarch Pass in South-Central Colorado (west of Salida on Hiway 50 for the “you need some cream with that” trip.
An old high-school friend, Ric Jones, and his family are moving from the Bay Area to the East Coast, and stopped by in Denver. Luckily I was “in town” that weekend, and got to see them. We all headed to St. Mary’s Glacier to play. Here’s my photo album from the trip.
I just uploaded three new unprocessed albums:
The Front Range Photo Society coordinated a shoot at the Rocky Mountain Raptor Rehabilitation Program at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins.
Here’s my “unprocessed photo album” from this trip. We were give access to a Golden Eagle, Ferreguneous Hawk, and Long Eared Owl.
