November's calendar is a shot I took near my home in Larimer County, Colorado. This beautiful red sandstone mesa stands as a gateway to Redstone Canyon. The large old cottonwoods at the base of the mesa follow an intermittent creek bed and add seasonal color to the ancient sea bed. I particularly like to shoot photography when the weather is uncertain to get interesting effects and this foggy day transformed the landscape into muted shapes and colors. If you like this photo you might also like these similar foggy photos below. Happy November!

October's calendar is Lake Agnes located in the Colorado State Forest near Cameron Pass. Although hard to see, this alpine lake has an island off to the right side of the photo which makes it unique among mountain lakes. The elevation of Lake Agnes is 10,663 feet and it is usually accessible only part of the year. This is a wonderful hike to take if you visit Colorado. It is a beautiful and remote trail, but accessible and easy to do if you are in reasonably good shape. And since it is in the Colorado State Forest you may also take your leashed dog, a bonus for dog lovers!

We are on the cusp of autumn. Here in the Rocky Mountains, the kids are back in school, the aspen leaves are turning, and the blankets are going back on the bed. Fall has always been my favorite season. Maybe it is the memories of the smell of a fresh box of crayons for school that I still can not resist. Maybe it was the crunch of leaves under foot and jumping into a big irresistible pile of them. Maybe it was bundling up in a soft sweater and drinking cocoa. I think perhaps it is all of that. How about you?

Here we are on the cusp of the sweet month of June. The high country of Colorado will be mostly open to travel once again and I can not wait to get up to the "rare air" and shoot some scenery! But first I will be traveling back east to Ohio to take care of some family business. I will be gone until sometime the week of June 7. In the meantime, please accept your free June 2010 wallpaper calendar. See you soon in June!

A tiny spring rivulet of a creek bubbles and burbles down the hillside past lichen covered rocks. The bluebells lining the brook sway gently in the breeze as a slow meandering bee lights from flower to flower. The air is scented with earth and water; flower and pine. I hope you have a chance to go outside and enjoy your own unique spring walk. In the meantime, please enjoy your new wallpaper calendar for May.

A stone banked mountain brook meanders through a green forested meadow in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Can you hear the water as it dances over the pebbles? Can you smell the green grass and pine scented air? Let yourself float down the gentle stream of a high mountain meadow and disappear around the bend into the wild Rocky Mountains.
