Valentine's Day

I spotted this girl waiting for her light rail in front of the courthouse. She saw me taking her picture and gave me a big smile, though I think it may have really been for whoever was on the phone.

Today was another lovely spring day in Denver – cold and rainy with a brief bout of snow. It wasn’t quite this bad though – this photo is from the storm about a month ago.

Snow Removal

I think it’s time for a little break from all the green leaves. Something a bit on the lighter side. So here you go!

 

I was out shooting during one of Denver’s many spring snowstorms. Several inches of wet snow had stuck to every flat surface. Just after I finished shooting some photos of this cafe this guy walked by. He swept all the snow off of fifty feet worth of railing. I think it was just for the fun of it.

I wish he'd left some of that snow for me!

Tree in Green

A close up of the veins in a leaf. The veins reminds me a bit of the trunk and branches of a tree, hence the name. But my favorite feature is probably the water droplets. They look a little soft here - that's because the shot was taken from the bottom of the leaf, while the droplets are on the top. So they're blurred by the leaf itself.

Galactic Intersections

Over the last few months I started playing with closeups of plants and especially leaves. This one is quite close. I like that it's almost an abstract of lines and shapes, but not quite.

The leaves also have a constellation of tiny texture - lots of dots and sworls. I've been told it's reminscent of galaxies and stars, hence the title.

This is the first in a series of six. I know some of you want more variety, so just be forewarned that you ain’t gonna get it for a while. ;)

The Lizard Returns

I posted this photo of an Eastern Collared Lizard a while back. It’s from the Ute Mountain Tribal Park that I visited last fall.

Earlier this week I was contacted by National Geographic Traveler magazine. They want to use my photo for an article on the park in their July/August issue.

Needless to say I’m pretty psyched about this whole thing. But don’t worry – I won’t let it go to my head. I’ll still only be charging $20 to autograph a copy of the magazine. :)
