Sunrise - Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge, San Luis Valley Colorado  
The San Luis Valley in southern Colorado is an amazing opportunity for photographing nature and wildlife.

                                 What do I know? Seagull, Schmeagull!
I grew up on the Pacific Coast. To me they're Seagulls. Imagine my surprise to see Seagulls in Colorado! I was dumbfounded. How did they get all the way over here? Are they lost? Duh. From Wikipedia:
"In common usage, members of various gull species are often referred to as sea gulls or seagulls. This name is used by the layman to refer to a common local species or all gulls in general, and has no fixed taxonomic meaning."
(Now I know that there are gulls, and gulls that live near the … (27 comments)

                                                 The Western Lowland Gorilla, aka "The Silverback"
On yet another excursion to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, I was quite taken with the gorillas. When I got home, I wanted to more more about them, so I looked up some information online, and was surprised to learn that they are endangered, in some cases critically, in their habitats in Africa.
The United Nations has declared 2009 as Year of the Gorilla. They are trying to raise awareness about the threat to the gorillas, and to raise … (36 comments)

slideshows: How to Recognize A Coloradoan - 01/30/09 03:42 AM
We're a different breed here...With a variation of breeds even within the state (note: Boulder!) And yes, sometimes we're even a bit snobby about it... (My mountains are BIGGER THAN YOUR mountains!) We are blessed with an incredible beauty that surrounds us everyday, in every season, all year long. From the majestic mountain ranges of the Western Slope, to the wide open plains of the East, the entire state is candy for the eye. And if you own a camera, well, Colorado is a dream come true. That's not to say we can't poke a little fun at ourselves from time … (21 comments)

                                                                                                             The Kiss  
It's 68 degrees. A gentle breeze is blowing, I can hear it through the trees - the aspens are talking to me. A butterfly lands, right there, on the edge of the blanket on which I'm lying. She glows, almost irridescent, in the sunshine.  The clouds are big and puffy and rolling gently across the sky. And look! See that? A Teddy Bear kiss! Another perfect spring day in Colorado...
