Hell's Hollow Aspen

I went chasing fall colors around the Bear River Mountains yesterday. There was a heavy frost on the ground and most of the aspen at that elevation had already lost their leaves, but I got several photos and a nice hike out of the deal. I'll post more later in the week, but here is a preview shot.

Bear River Bird Refuge

These aren't the newest photos, but I was going through some shots from Bear River Bird Refuge from last month and thought I'd put a few online. Enjoy.

Utah Falconry

I went out hunting over the weekend with some friends and their pair of Harris's Hawks near Salt Lake City. Here are a few photos from the morning.

Uinta Night Sky

Despite a very rainy week, I was surprised to find a clear and moonless sky while camping up in the Uinta Mountains over the weekend. The stars up there were amazing and I caught a few photos before clouds rolled in for the rest of the weekend.

Kokanee Salmon in Utah

I went on a visit to Causey Reservoir today and hiked to Skull Crack Canyon where the Kokanee Salmon are currently spawning. It was beautiful with the color of the fish and the changing leaves. Shooting was tricky and I hope to get back again before they are finished running, but here is one shot from the day.

Wheeler Creek Colors

Following up on the heels of the fall colors in Logan Canyon, I headed up to Snowbasin to see what I could find. Still a little early for changing colors up there, but I did get this photo from Wheeler Creek.
