After a few days with lows around 10 degrees and afternoon highs in the 30s I expected the ponds to be frozen over, so I was a bit surprised to see so much open water just before sunrise when it was only about 14 degrees. #photography #landscapephotography #sunrise #slowshutter

Bath time... #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature #ClassicMono

Working on some old car and rust photos for an upcoming challenge in my photography club... #photography

I know some look down or dismiss photos of common birds, but I always enjoy photos of geese in the early morning just as the sun is coming up and they are starting their day. This couple swam towards me this morning and I was able to get quite a few different photos. #birds #birdphotography #nature

Refelctions... #photography #landscapephotography

Drove out to the local park this morning and spotted 20 bald eagles on my drive in... managed to get this shot of one in a tree, but as soon as the sun came up a little more most of them took flight and flew outside the park boundaries. #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

One of my favorite all time songs was released 40 years ago today... www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_7u...

Organized an outing with my photography club this week to go out and visit a local nature area. Had a good turnout of members so I'm hoping our outing next month can build on this momentum. #photography #landscapephotography #ClassicMono

Out early this morning and came across a Cooper's Hawk. #photography #birdphotography #birds#BlueSkyMonday

Up in the mountains just as the light from the just rising sun hits the top of Hallett Peak... #photography #landscapephotography #colorado #ClassicMono

I always liked how the light from the sun casts the shadow of the eagle's head on the bottom of its wing... #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

Hoping for some better weather this week to get back out and get some photos. I think this is the longest I haven't used my camera in about a year. #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

Foggy day at the park... #photography #landscapephotography #scape #coloraday #bwfri #classicmono

Hoping some of the eagles are still around by the time I'm able to get out this weekend... #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

Between the very cold weather this past weekend, work, and a few other things, it feels like it's been a long time since I've taken the camera out. #photography #birdphotography #nature

Cold and snowy morning in the mountains... #photography #landscapephotography #ClassicMono #MountainMonday

Taking a break from the usual nature photography today... #photography #ClassicMono

I wish I'd got down a little lower for this, but I was afraid of slipping and falling into the pond 😅 #photography #ClassicMono

Cold and snow photo for a cold and snowy day... #photography #landscapephotography #ClassicMono #Scape #ColorADay #BWFri

Bird on a branch is still better then just a branch 😅 #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

Foggy mornings at my local park gives the opportunity to make photographs that just wouldn't be the same otherwise... #photography #landscapephotography #ClassicMono

I don't think I've ever seen a pelican in Colorado during the month of January before... #birdphotography #birds

Was going out to meet a fried to see if there were any birds out this morning, but arrived to some fun foggy conditions after a bit of snow last night. #photography #landscapephotography #ClassicMono

I think this is the first time I've been up to the mountains for some photography in January. It was a cold morning and the wind wasn't helping but it was still a fun outing. #photography #landscapephotography #stunday #ClassicMono

Back to my usual local spot today... #birdphotography #birds #photography #nature

Got out this morning before the wind came in and while there's usually not a lot of action with ducks I always love it when they raise up and flap their wings after having a bath. #photography #birdphotography #birds #FlyDay

Clear and cool morning out at the lake today, but not much bird action before I had to head home... #photography #reflection

Curious eagle... #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

I know so many photographers are just trying to get the shot as the eagle drops down and pulls a fish out of the water and no other shot will do, but I really enjoy photos that show a birds wings, feathers, and other details. #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

Went to some nearby cliffs where I heard there were some owls but I didn't see any so instead I have a photo of this tree. #photography #landscapephotography

It was a cold day with a lot of ice on the lake but I got quite a few flight shots I'm happy with, including this juvenile bald eagle flying in front of some local mountain peaks. #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature #stunday

I was hoping for a little more activity from the eagles this morning but instead all I came home with was this slow motion video of a goose bathing by the shore. #birds #nature #slomo

There was a bit of snow last night and I had a bit of time to get out to the lake this morning to see if the eagles were still active... #photography #birdphotography #birds #FlyDay #JanuArty #blue #birdoftheDay #Feathers&Form #wildlifephotography #nature

Landing approach... #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

Seeing the mergansers is a sure sign that the eagles will be around as well... #photography #birdphotography #birds

One more eagle/moon photo... #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

Afternoon snack...

I told myself that I wasn't going to photograph any eagles this morning, but I woke up and the weather was still good and figured I had a little time before work... #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

Last day at the lake with the eagles. Today was very warm and very windy so the few eagles that were still around spent their time soaring high in the air with only a few coming down to get any fish. Hoping next weekend's cold weather brings them back. #photography #birdphotography #birds

While out photographing eagles this morning I came across this owl sleeping in a tree. #photography #birdphotography #birds

I've been photographing a lot of eagles lately, but I should also include the landscape of where I've been doing this... #photography #landscapephotography #scape

New camera! 😅

Starting 2026 where I left of 2025... photographing bald eagles. I like how the bird is looking back at his catch, like it's checking to see if it really caught something and it's still there. #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

This photo from this morning makes my first 365 - posting a photo every day for 2025. #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature #ColoradoPhotographer

One of the more unique birds I got to photograph this year was a leucistic black-crowned night heron. In this photo I was able to capture its white feathers as it stretched its wings. #photography #birdphotography #birds

Some of these recent eagles don't mind you getting a little closer to get some photos 😅 Focus stacked this one since there was no way to get the bird and the moon in focus. #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

One of my favorite landscape photos of 2025, I think this was the third attempt at the shot when there was actually clouds in the sky. #photography #landscapephotography

Up early and out in the cold (13 degrees I think?) to see if I could get more bald eagle photos this morning... #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature

One morning, out at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, just as the young bison were waking up, I captured this moment between an adult and its young calf. #photography #wildlifephotography

Almost stayed home this morning because it was cold (15 degrees), very cloudy, and windy. Decided to grab the camera yesterday and some sun started coming out and came across a few eagles down at the park. #photography #birdphotography #birds #nature #Stunday
