The Colors of Colorado

November 19, 2015  •  17 Comments

My husband, Frank, and I took an amazing road trip through Colorado this fall.  We were very fortunate to be there just as the colors of the aspens were turning a beautiful shade of gold.  We visited quite a number of places in Colorado and loved them all!  One of the highlights from a photography standpoint was the Rocky National Park, where I was able to get a close-up photograph of a majestic elk.  We were there during elk rutting season, so we lucked out by seeing quite a few elk.  Another huge highlight from a photography standpoint was the "Million Dollar Highway" between Silverton and Ouray.  Every single second of the drive was filled with expressions of awe and wonder.  And, of course, there were many stops along to way to take photographs.  If you ever visit Colorado in the fall, this stretch of road is a "must do."  The colors are amazing and the views are absolutely breathtaking.  Another very interesting place we visited was the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Reserve.  It is a very interesting and beautiful place as well.  We also visited Aspen, which is a great place in the fall to walk around and explore.  There are some amazing restaurants in Aspen!  We also visited Vail, which is beautiful and fun.  We happened to be there during Octoberfest, which was a lot of fun.  In addition, we visited Telluride and found the most amazing photography gallery there (which I could have stayed in forever).  In a nutshell, Colorado is magnificent and being there in the fall with the fall colors was splendid!!  I hope you enjoy the photographs below.  Please feel free to leave comments or ask any questions.

The Phenomenal New Zealand

March 17, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

My husband and I just got back from the most amazing trip to New Zealand.  It is a spectacularly beautiful place, with wonderful opportunities for photography.  We visited both the North Island and the South Island.  The scenery is stunning throughout both islands.  One of my favorite photographic opportunities was visiting Lake Matheson.  We arrived in the morning on a great weather day and walked about 45 minutes to get to the best place to shoot ("Reflection Island").  When we first arrived, the water was not completely still, but about a half an hour into the shoot, the water became completely still, resulting in the mirror-like reflection photo at the start of this photo slideshow.  We also visited a number of gorgeous waterfalls (one of my favorite things to photograph).  Hiking to and from the waterfalls provided us with a great deal of exercise.  One of the other great places we visited was the Abel Tasman National Park, most of which is only accessible by boat.  The water is a gorgeous shade of turquoise and there are some great coves.  We also visited two great gannet colonies and a penguin colony.
