Summer Snow

OK, it isn't really snow, but the wind last night in Ogden Valley was kicking up so many seed pods that it looked like a snow storm in 70 degree weather.

Lewis Peak Snow

After an unusually warm start to the year, new snow arrived in Northern Utah this morning. After the morning storm passed, I caught a couple photos of Mount Lewis and Jumpoff Canyon above Ogden.

Ben Lomond After the Snow

Despite the warm temperatures in town, we got a dusting of snow in the mountains in Northern Utah last night. I got this photo of Ben Lomond Peak just after sunrise this morning.

Idaho Whiteout

I was up in Southern Idaho over the weekend for a planned photo adventure. Unfortunately, the combination of a snowstorm, some closed highways and a stuck snowplow changed all of that. On the plus side, a small break in the snow let me catch this photo.

Bison Auction

Over the weekend I went to a bison auction for ranchers from around the Western U.S. and Canada put on by the Western Bison Association. I've posted a few photos below and you can see more here. Enjoy.

Dishman Hills Natural Area

I took a brief hike in the Dishman Hills Natural Area during a recent trip to Spokane. We reached the location of the 2008 forest fire just as it was getting dark and the weather was taking a turn for the worse. Enjoy the photo.

October Snow

I've been surprised by the amazing colors during my first fall in Utah. I went up to Wheeler Creek near Huntsville yesterday to photograph a dusting of fresh snow on Mount Ogden. Enjoy.
