With Wyoming snow pack down to 22% of the average, the fishing season this spring seems to be starting much earlier compared to last years record breaking 220% of average snow pack that made the rivers rage for what seemed like a never-ending spring runoff that ran through most of the mountain summer. The pass…
Well, spring has officially come early to Wyoming — about a month or two earlier than last year! The flowers on the prairies are blooming already, and spring rains are turning everything green again. It always amazes me how persistent life can be out on the harsh high plains around Wyoming. No matter how long, grueling, cold, and bitterly windy…
I’ve been pretty pre-occupied lately with life, so I thought I’d share a recent self-portrait to prove that I am still around! I recently defended my masters thesis in Geology this week, and in another few weeks I will have ample time and plan on taking the summer to explore, live, and photograph! The frogs…
I woke up to about 6 inches of fresh snow in Laramie (!) and decided to go on a long walk with my dog along the creek in town as the powder was falling. I’ll leave you with this poem to express my morning. Fresh snow can be so beautiful if you can overcome the warmth of…
A lot about Wyoming hasn’t changed over the years and there are still a lot of wild places where the antelope roam free. This particular image is from Dubois, Wyoming, nestled in the beautiful Wind River Valley. In particular there are a few lines below that seems to ring true for this photograph. I‘m sure a lot of…
There’s something alluring about large powerful amounts of water spilling over thousands of years of volcanic rocks made from the very volcano still currently sitting literally beneath your feet. The mist produced at the the base of the classic Lower Falls in Yellowstone was beautifully illuminated and required a telephoto lens to really be able to look…
This photography may look like a nice pleasant sunset out on the plains of Laramie, Wyoming, but photographs don’t capture wind very well (at least not this one!). In Laramie, where the wind is always blowing, my walk across these plains just outside of town was through 40 mph winds that added a significant wind…
I took this photo about a month ago. We have had such a warm winter, that miraculously the dirt roads leading into some of my favorite places are clear enough for my car to get through! I loved the texture of the dirt and the snow as the setting sun cast a warm glow on…
We got about 10 inches of fresh beautiful sparkling powder last night. As soon as I heard there was hoar frost in the Laramie Mountains, I immediately walked home from the office, grabbed my snow shoes and pack (which is always packed for moments like this) and headed to the mountains to catch the last few…
