I came across this sign on the road from Aspen to Maroon Lake.  I can’t quite decide if it’s a joke or not, but either way I like it.  Be sure to click on the image for a larger version.

One again I’m playing catchup with a backlog of photos. These are the final batch of images from a shoot in Rocky Mountain National Park this summer.  I really like the composition of the image above.   The images below are good to, though perhaps not quite as dynamic.  As always, click on the images to see a larger version.

Taking Things Too Seriously

I have been working very hard lately both on my blog and in my “real” job. These images are a reminder to myself that perhaps I shouldn’t take my photography  (or anything else, for that matter) that seriously.

The first image is not what it seems. This marmot is scratching, though he looks a bit like a martial artist:

This Giraffe, on the other hand, is doing exactly what it looks like. Namely, sticking his tongue up his nose:

Marie, you may now officially adopt the Marmot as your mascot . . .
