Mom and baby
Took this just a few minutes ago, virtually out the back door of the condo we’re staying in here in Alamosa. I saw the doe out the back window and wasn’t all that interested but decided to throw my 200 on (200mm zoom lens) and see what I could get. It wasn’t until she started running away that I saw the little fawn start bouncing up above the long grass. So I threw some sandals on and took chase. I was able to move very slowly and sneakily (if that’s a word) and creep behind a big bush to get some better shots. They obviously knew I was there, but seemed ok as long as I didn’t come too close.
Definitely a nice little break from editing wedding photos. A couple more if you click below…

Ga-ross.
Found this little guy in our bike room. I have absolutely no idea what this is. Legs are way too long to be a centipede or millipede, not to mention the fact that it has antennas. I’m going with “Mutated grasshopper centipede.” Yeah, that sounds about right. Gross.
In an unrelated note, we’re moving.
Huskie fella
I know, I know … two posts in a row of dog photos. But this guy came running up to the fence I was walking by today and just asked to have his photo taken.
Sunday funday
Spent a few hours playing cornhole (aka bags) at Cheeseman Park on this lovely 70 degree day in Denver. This is Josie, our friend Erika’s little rat dog. Did I say rat dog? I meant super-cute dog.
Puppy love
Spent some time walking around Cheeseman Park today since we are looking at a new apartment right across the street. I think that, even more than the subject and action of this shot (the two dogs) I like the sort of hazy-ness to it. It sort of reminds me of a dream.
Afternoon in Conifer
Kaitlin and I spent yesterday afternoon/evening with my uncle and his family out in Conifer, CO. My cousin Ben and I went out to shoot some photos together. My uncle Tim’s place is really neat because it’s up in the mountains, and he has lots of old, rustic sort of stuff around to take photos of. I’m just impressed that I got Ben to stop shooting me with Nerf guns long enough to take some photos. Many more below …
Walk around the state capital
Here some trivia for you: The 13th step on the west side of the Colorado state capital is exactly 5,280 ft., or exactly one mile, above sea level. They even imprint it with that designation. I spent a little time walking around the state house today snapping some shots. And to make it two days in a row of photos with commonly-seen, usually-annoying animals, I’ve included a photo of a squirrel (follow link below). Enjoy.
Geese: pure evil in feathered form
I’ve never really liked geese. They’re mean, they hiss, and they always scare me more than they seemingly should, considering the fact that they don’t have teeth, claws, or horns. But when I saw a few hanging out in a park I was driving by today, I decided that I would gather my courage and try to make a few photos. This was a particularly aggressive bunch – I believe they are often fed and thus assumed I was there for their benefit. Check out some more photos by clicking below.
