High Mountain Pass

The high elevation of these alpine meadows makes for a very short flowering season.

Frosty Day Grizzly

As the Autumn frosts begin, the Grizzly bears continue to forage for food before hibernation time. This fellow is looking well for the upcoming winter. 

Rocky Mountain Alberta Raptor – Hunting

 

This female Swainsons Hawk was likely impressed by prey nearby in grass.

Rocky Mountian Moose And Calf

A mother’s care is evident as they both feed and drink in their natural habitat.

Rocky Mountain Sunrise

Getting the right light at the right time of day, with calm conditions does not always work out. In this case it did.  

Slow Speed Glide

 Swainson’s are very agile hawks, and even a “slow” glideby seems fast.

“Third Strike Wingwalking”

This Amazing wingwalker is Carol Pilon of Third Strike Wingwalking. Great performance and nice smoke trailing out of a dive.

Mount Halo in the Rockies

Sometimes it is just about timing. The weather was poor this day, but the clouds suddenly began to break and the sun was trying hard to shine through just above this peak.  

The Mother-In-Law Suite

This quaint little barn was converted into a Mother-In-Law Suite. Every Son-In-Law I spoke with said they need one. ;)

Calgary – Fashion Has No Borders

 

Brittany is a great model with style!  This event is… Fashion Has No Borders. Huge modeling talent on hand, including a few local celebrity models.

Passion In Her Voice

Not only did her guitar match her clothes, but she belted out the tunes with a lot of passion and character.  

Manhattan Bridge

This seemingly quiet little park is anything but. The constant ”sledgehammer on steel” banging of subway traffic on multiple rails makes ear plugs desirable.  

Grand Central Terminal

Even with low clouds and fog settling in, the “city that never sleeps” continues to move along even at three in the morning.

Street Dance

With a combination of music, dance, and gymnastics, this street performer and the rest of his team gathered the crowds…including some very young ones in carriages.

Atlas At The Rock

With overcast night skies, this perspective of Atlas at the Rockefeller Center seemed to extend into the clouds.   

Macro Photo: Electronics

Sometimes a commercial style shot has some artistic appeal to in. In this instance, a super close macro shot of a tiny computer board.  

Good Snowboard Height

Getting some good height out of the Super Halfpipe is always sure to please the spectators.  

Winter Inuksuk

Spotted these Inuksuits (Plural for Inuksuk) along a mountain valley creek bed. I think it makes for an appropriate wintery scene to start the year off.
