Haha, caught you again! Polemonium, or Sky Pilot this time. I've had a hard time in the past capturing this flower as it's very 3-dimensional &, with all that surface area, tends to get blown around quite a bit. This was off of the Silver Dollar Lake Trail in Colorado's Front Range, well...

I took advantage of my dog being at the groomer today & got a last minute pass to RMNP. I was hoping to catch the Calypso orchids blooming on the Cow Creek Trail, but was a week or 2 too late. Had to settle for the Spotted Coral Root orchids instead......

I stayed at a lower altitude today as I was tired of postholing with little photographic reward on my previous 2 outings. This was a trail where I often see moose, but not today. The meadow, however, had dried out nicely so that it was no longer a marsh, but the iris were just about peak with...

Dodecatheons are one of my favorite flowers. These tiny beauties were along the Highline Trail, Green River Lakes area of the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming.

I was too slow unlocking my phone & getting the camera app up as I was stopped in the middle of a downhill hairpin turn (cringing, waiting to be rear-ended) on my way to work this morning to get the cub sitting right next to the carved bear...... That was pretty darned cute. iPhone 6 shot.

Here's my B&W of the ground fog on the Green River in front of Squaretop that I posted a color version of in Landscapes. Lots & lots of control points used in SilverEfex. C&C welcome.

I stopped at the Green Lakes TH for a day hike & overnight on my way home from the Tetons. I was very happy to be able to snag the camping spot I'd coveted last fall. Not great for privacy, but for position over the Gros Ventre, looking at Squaretop, its hard to beat. I got up a couple of...

When most people go to the Tetons, they take pictures of the mountains from Oxbow Bend, Schwabacher Landing, with the Moulton Barn or Jenny or Jackson Lake in the foreground, or the wildlife. The thing that got me most excited was these lupines not far from the gravelly banks of the Gros...

I thought about using "At Play In The Fields of The Lord" in some fashion for a title, but, as I recall, that was a fairly somber work. In the past, I've seen the kits out playing in the sun after a pretty good rain. It rained pretty hard for most of yesterday afternoon and the sun came out...

This time I had my 150-600mm lens -- boy, I'd forgotten how hard it is to handhold & pinpoint the focus point! Some crops are still pretty substantial, just not on the 1st one. Babies were down below the road while mom patrolled from the crag above. Let me know if the OOF foreground on her...

The black lines on this kits face made me think of cheetah markings.

I'm going to have to start driving with my camera on my lap, turned on & ready to go. Missed 2 foxes each with a mouse in their mouths this morning. Settled for the aftermath, after the 2nd one had consumed it's morsel.

May is the time for fox kits. I haven't seen the kits yet, but I've seen mama 3x now. The other times I was on my way to work & didn't have my camera in the car, so I just stopped & watched her. The 1st time, she just hurried on, then 2nd time she stopped & watched me before continuing on her...

Getting a little more variety now in the area close to my house. Shooting these make for a good low back stretch!

Alan had some question about B&W vs IR (& I've wondered the same), so with all the extra time I have now, I shot some comparisons. B&W conversions as I would normally process them (SilverEfex + ColorEfex) and IR, which, now that I re-loaded my camera profile, took almost no processing. I...

As a result from a little nudge from Jim P, I dug out & dusted off my IR lens & Singh-Ray 690 filter. My macro lens is supposed to be good (as far as hotspots) for IR, but I didn't have a 62-67mm step-up ring for it, so back to my old 24-70mm. It was breezy, so I went & got my umbrella...

Now, if only I had something to go with "Nights of White Satin"....... Anybody? I know this will go right over Jim Fox's head since he had such a wholesome growing up, but others of you will understand. I think. These bunches were about 1 1/2 hours walk in along a road that is getting...

At least for today. There are some nice bunches of them I mean to shoot in the next few days. But alpine blue bells are starting to bloom now, too..... My Blue Eyed Grass (with apologies to Van Morrison). Blue Giant Glory of the Snow.

I'm not sure how many more puns I can come up with around "Pasque"....... I did have to Google the exact quote for this one.

I saw these sand lilies while on my run the other day and went back to photograph them. They were on the steepest, loosest part of the run, which is why I stopped to catch my breath as I was standing over them. They were the only ones there, which made them feel special. This was a focus...
