I made my way up to one of my favorite shootin' spots on Sunday morning, Dream Lake in Rocky. I always find it amazing at how quickly light/mood can change at sunrise and thought I would share a few pictures showing the shift. Sunrise was at 7:06am.

Hehe, thanks! Here's another one, probably my most favorite day in the hills to-date.

Ah, memories. I took this last Saturday evening before a Sunday hike of South Tarryall Peak (peak on right of image) with Anna and Kimo. See how dry it looks? Well, let's just call this photo the calm before the trench-shwack from hell.

Here's one I don't think I've shared over here yet. This was taken from Grizzly Peak (that 13er that is ohhh so close to being a 14er) near Aspen. Sunset. Looking east/northeast over towards La Plata/Huron/3 Apostles. One of my favorite nights.
