Wildflower season in Colorado will likely be a bit early this year from low snowpack. Looking back, this was taken two years ago in late June on a adventureous road trip from Kansas to Canada and back. The flowers in Crested Butte that year were clearly on point! Lupines are probably my favorite of all to photograph. It helped to get some fantastic light. These were taken about a week apart. The first in Crested Butte, with the second taken a week later along Kebler Pass road.

Speaking of Crested Butte - I'll be back at the Crested Butte Arts Festival July 31-August 2 again this year! If you are in the area, stop on by!

"Fall On The Million Dollar Highway"

I've been going back and doing some updates to my Colorado galleries on my website and came across this shot from last years trip through the Rockies. This was taken along the infamous Million Dollar Highway in the San Juans of southwest Colorado. I caught the tail end of a beautiful sunset in a sea of golden and even orange aspens. I decided to just frame the highway itself as the main leading line, inviting the viewer to imagine themselves taking a drive through one of Colorado's most scenic roads at the peak of autumn color!

Here are a few more from Palm Beach, Florida last month. In particular, the famous Worth Avenue. What a difference 20 minutes can make. All of these images were shot in those 20 minutes between pre-sunrise and just after the sun crested the horizon. What a beautiful sunrise it was!

Here's a few from a state I had never photographed until last month: Tennessee. On my way down to Florida, I stopped through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for one sunrise at Cades Cove. I didn't have a lot of time, and was in a large box truck with my entire art booth setup, so I was limited in where I could drive on those narrow and windy roads, but going to the short gravel Sparks Lane at sunrise was high on my list. Tennessee is a place I can't wait to return to again - hopefully in the fall next time! But spring was a pretty awesome time as well. The dogwoods were in bloom, which is a wonderful time to be exploring this part of the country.

New release: Worth Avenue First Light

Here's another from Florida. This was one colorful sunrise! While in Palm Beach, I chose to go down to one of the most famous spots in the area: Worth Avenue. I framed the iconic clocktower against the glowing sunrise and captured a few palm trees in the scene to add to it, while the ocean lies just beyond. It was a nice, quiet morning before having to set up for the event I was exhibiting my art at.

New release: St. Marks Lighthouse Sunset Afterglow

On my way back from Florida last week, I took a chance on stopping at this lighthouse on the Florida panhandle. It looked like there was a decent chance for a good sunset, and boy am I glad to gave it a try! The sunset was phenomenal. I walked out into the shallow and murky receding tide to try and get a reflection of the lighthouse while keeping the setting sun within the frame as well. The glow just kept getting brighter and more colorful until the sun crested over the horizon, leaving a near perfect reflection of both the sky and lighthouse. It's a sunset I won't soon forget.

I'll have some more from Florida, Tennessee and Arkansas soon too!

Here are a couple of panoramas from tonights crazy storms. Quick edits to get something up before it got too late. Hopefully nobody got hit with the large hail they kept talking about. Sounds like the tornados didn't do any damage thankfully.

Edit - I take that back. Apparently Enid, Oklahoma was hit pretty hard. Hopefully nobody was hurt badly. Prayers for our neighbors to the south.

This ridiculous March heat in Kansas (and across the US) has me weirdly thinking about cool, crisp mornings and evenings in the mountains in the summer. Odd to be thinking about cooling down in the summer, but that's what record heat in March can do. Anyways, here are some of my favorite sunrise and sunset moments in the mountains over the past few years. Some of the world's most famous peaks and ranges are represented here: the Canadian Rockies, the Swiss Alps (the mighty Matterhorn), Colorado's Rockies, Grand Tetons and the Dolomites. Plus, California's Yosemite and Mount Shasta.
