Late access to the zoo during certain days or assignments is a perk of volunteering. Even if you’re not a zoo volunteer though, there are many events at most zoos that let you enjoy the various animals at these beautiful twilight hours. I was shooting photos for the marketing department of one such event whenContinue reading “Blue on Blue”

Going Medieval
Went to make some photos before work. The refuge is 10 minutes from my apartment and 10 minutes from work. Makes it a great place to go if I’m up a little earlier than I need to be. That is unless you get there to find that you’d be fighting the black death. Bit ofContinue reading “Going Medieval”
Higher than Normal
There are countless burrowing owls that live within a few miles of my apartment. But despite my many drives through the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, I’ve not been able to spot one in amongst the prairie dog holes that cover the area. This handsome man, perched a little higher than you’d normally findContinue reading “Higher than Normal”
It’s a Frame Job
Buy a Print. Was driving through Arsenal, late evening, very overcast. Dark enough that we’re looking at f/2.8 at 8000 iso. I catch mama and bebe to my right through the passenger window.

One of the first trees in had the unmistakable silhouette of a hawk perched upon it. TheContinue reading “Twilight’s Last gleaming”
They Grow Up So Fast
Kamchatka, the most recent of only 14 baby Steller’s Sea Eagles to be hatched in AZA zoos in the last decade, was born on March 10th of this year. That means she’s just over six months old. They grow up so fast. This much less good picture is what she looked like at one monthContinue reading “They Grow Up So Fast”
A Day That Shouldn’t Have Been
Buy a print here. My trip to Arsenal today had no right to be as good as it was. I had planned on an early trip to the Denver Zoo, but a late night at work left me sleeping in until 1400. Woke up, had some breakfast, and decided to go to the Rocky MountainContinue reading “A Day That Shouldn’t Have Been”
