More fun back by the Tetons at the Moulton barn on Mormon row. Such a photogenic place! Every time we go there, it's different in subtle ways!

At #5 for the year is a shot near Rodeo, New Mexico in late July as the sun set with monsoon storms generating amazing colors and rainbows. Throw in a cool CG as well! Gotta love the southwest monsoons!

A few years ago Caryn and I chose to spend Christmas in Jackson, Wyoming. We decided to do a snowmobile ride through Yellowstone, which "most" entrances are CLOSED in the winter. What an amazing experience. The outfitter fed us breakfast, then dressed you up with massive layers of warm clothing, put you on a snowmobile with heated handles (And you needed it at -10F!) and off you go! We went all the way to Old Faithful and Geiser Basin from the south entrance. An experience we'll never forget. If you ever get the chance, DO IT! Strange seeing the park with nobody there! We need to do it again, SOON!

A few K-H instability waves develop southwest of Denver as a fast flow aloft develops with our incoming storm. Still looks like we will have a white Thanksgiving along the front range of Colorado!

Mt Sneffels Wilderness Area in the San Juan mountains of Colorado is incredible. About 2 weeks before I took this shot (Oct 26th), I'm sure this was a sight to behold! However, there was no snow then. The sunset, the little bits of fall leaf colors leftover, and the clouds made this a treat to shoot! Let alone the 14,157 majestic peak! I waited for about 2 hours for this shot!

Snow is certainly flying in the San Juan mountains of Colorado still! Near Molas Pass.

The beginning of the Hawley, TX EF3 tornado from 5/2/2024. Crazy day!

A little comet fun last night. It's extremely hard to see it, so faint and distant, but thanks to my son Adam, I found it! Had to go very high ISO and fully open aperture, but it came out ok!

The 2024 season in time lapse! This isn't even close to all our chases, just the ones where I had a time lapse camera going. Enjoy!

Here's a fun video of several of our chases of 2024 in time lapse. This is not close to all chases, just ones I had a time lapse camera running! Enjoy!!

I am extremely excited and grateful to have been chosen the winner of the prestigious International Photography Awards (IPA) competition for 2024 in the Nature/Landscapes category! Thank you to my good friend Mitch Dobrowner (who is a world-renowned AMAZING photographer!) for helping me prepare for it! I submitted a series of 9 photos titled "Supercell" and was selected 1st place. I am shocked and humbled by this experience!

It's not often that we get auroras straight up overhead. They are usually on the horizon. But not last night! Such vivid colors straight up! (Bennett, CO)
