White Ice in the Sky

A frozen lake at 11,000 feet elevation in Rocky Mountain National Park, Sky Pond. Perfect name for a perfect place in the mountains. These rocks frozen in the south shore created a mystic feeling to the lake.

Mills Lake Frozen

Mills Lake is a popular hiking destination in Rocky Mountain National Park. This photo was taken during my first snowshoe trip of the season. I had been waiting all Summer looking forward to Winter hiking season. These lakes are beautiful all year round, however there is just something magical when they are blanketed with snow.

The Winter

When Winter takes hold and the world turns monochrome, look for the little scene that are uniquely precious. During a winter hike as I was walking on a log crossing a frozen stream, I looked down to see these branches sticking out from below. This was a little piece of relief from a mostly white field of white.

Sunset Moraine

Sunset over Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park. After an evening watching the elk herds out on the meadow, the sun have us a nice little show. Mountains, rivers, meadows, and elk. Nature is wonderful, get out there and take it in.
