Lupine Leaf Rain-catcher
Friends in Yellow
Black Eyed Susan
Three Amigos
While I love grand scenes with mountains and snow, they would be nothing without millions--no, trillions--of these brilliant stars of the show. Perhaps that is why I so enjoy stepping into the forest and slowing down to see the small details just as much as I enjoy standing at an overlook. There is grandeur even in the tiniest of details.

The Twisted Grove
This small grove of beautifully twisted aspen trees was near our camp in Lake Park on a backpacking loop through the Lost Creek Wilderness. At sunrise, the golden light filtered beautifully between each slender, twisted trunk. May 2015 This image required the tripod because it is an HDR image, which was the best method to bring out the details and colors in the leaves and trunks of this unique and quirky stand of young aspen trees.

A Moon for Bette Lee
My grandmother was a Colorado native who loved the mountains and shared her love of skiing and adventure with me. She also loved the "sliver moon", as she called it, and I seem to have inherited her affinity for it as well. This picture of the crescent moon setting over the snow-covered continental divide is a tribute to my grandmother--Bette Lee Dallison and how her spirit lives on in her grandchildren. March 2016
