Pasque Morning
I have been wondering if the Pasque flowers were still in bloom along the foothills so today I was able to get away and go in search of these little beauties. Yes they are still in abundant bloom (at least in my spot) and to my amazement, my daughter Sofia expressed interest in going shooting as well! A Win-Win situation!!

I’m anxious to load up my daughter’s captures from my Sony a6000 to see how she did…. Time to upload that card now….

Rocky Mountain Arsenal Dog
I had to get out and test my new Nikon 200-500 f/5.6E lens so I took a detour one my way to work one morning and ended up in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge between Denver and the Denver International Airport. Even though the lens is not compatible with my older Nikon D90 (this lens has an electromagnetic aperture mechanism), the combination is somewhat compatible in that the lens is always shooting wide-open at f/5.6. This is ideally how I wanted to use this lens anyway. I love the reach and the subject isolation this combination yields.
Check it out for yourself:

Reflections
Another reflection of El Capitan from my trip to YNP back in November 2015. It was a great trip where I was able to reconnect with an old high school buddy named Andy Garza whom I’d worked with in the Village Store for several summers back in the mid-80s — 30 years ago… .
A very appropriate photo on a great time for personal reflection… Enjoy!
