A lot of folks on Twitter, Facebook and via email, have been asking if I’m okay and whether the fires are anywhere near me, so I thought a post was in order. First up – thanks to everyone who has been concerned. The short answer is that my house is not near any of...
Okay, so – if my friend, @Tybarbary, were in this photo, where in it would Ty be? (taken along Guanella Pass Scenic Byway, a 24-mile stretch of bumpy dirt road running from the small town of Grant on U.S. 285 to Georgetown off I-70. Elevation: 11,669-feet) Answer: …just sayin’ ~P
What? It HAD to be done… Loved this. Frozen creek melting, so you have the layer of snow/ice on the top, but the water rushing through underneath, making for some fun photography. This shot, I like how the ice has melted, forming globules hanging down (zoom in to see it): ~P

If you’re driving around in the Rocky Mountains on a warm day when the snow is melting fast, you will probably come across a random waterfall or 2 in your travels. I was lucky enough to find this one on a recent trip up Guanella Pass Scenic Byway, a 24-mile stretch of bumpy dirt...
