A wonderful summer evening spent waiting for and watching Old Faithful to erupt while the sun is setting should be on everyone’s bucket list. Majestic and peaceful. #thatswy

Another shot of the More Barn in Steamboat Springs just after the sun set.

The More Barn in Steamboat Springs, CO. The night

The More Barn in Steamboat Springs, CO. The night before, we noticed a gorgeous alpenglow from the condo we were staying at, but didn't get out in time to make it up to the barn. The night this was taken, there was barely, barely any pink on the mountain, but it was worth the time anyway. I love that the night skiing lights are turned on at the ski area behind the barn. #wyomingphotographer #photographerlife #rockymountains #coloradogram #coloradolife #colorado #sundayfunday #steamboat #steamboatsprings #morebarn #steamboatspringscolorado #visitcolorado #visitsteamboatsprings #ikon #alterramtnco #steamboatspringsskitownusa

I first saw this old car buried in the bank of a creek many years ago. Found it again on a walk today and it was unchanged, except for then bushes growing through it are larger. I think it’s a 1950’s era Dodge. Whatever it was, I sure wonder what its story is. #wyoming #thatswy #purewyoming #wyomingphotographer #307 #abandoned_junkies #abandonedphotography #abandonedplaces #cheyennewyoming #cheyenneartist #allterrain_transpo #still_wheels

Love the old-fashioned storefront at the Post Office in Parkman, Wyoming. Complete with gravel road out front. It’s nice to see small towns that retain their history and charm.

Today is #307 Day here in Wyoming. A sole telephon

Today is #307 Day here in Wyoming. A sole telephone area code for our entire state in the year is 2023 is pretty remarkable when you think about it- there just aren’t that many of us Wyomingites! I thought about posting a photo I’d taken in the Tetons or Yellowstone, but there is so much more to Wyoming than just the northwest corner of the state. Not that I’m downplaying one of the most beautiful natural areas in the world right in our backyard, but Wyoming is more than meets the eye.

Wyoming is the effortlessness of a walk in the woods, not far from a major highway, where one can be completely alone in minutes, without trace of the modern world.
Wyoming is a place where mostly unspoiled natural beauty consists of mountains, high plains, deserts, grasslands and wetlands; we’ve got it all right here and we treasure it all.
Wyoming’s people are forged from hardiness, goodness, tenacity, and adventure.
We appreciate our freedoms and we are fiercely loyal to our family and friends.
We most often eschew the desire for big changes in favor of simplicity and resolute values.
Those of us who stay here do so because we love the land and we love our circle of people.
Oh yes, there is much more to Wyoming than what first meets the eye.

Happy #307 day, Wyoming! #thatswy #hikingadventure #squall #polemountain #hiking #wyoming #wyomingphotographer #purewyoming #ThatsWY

Beautiful snowy clouds billowing west of us on Happy Jack Road. And not a lick of wind. The quiet was unusual but also welcome. #wyomingphotographer #cheyennewyoming #photographerlife #purewyoming #cheyenneartist #thatswy #hikingadventure #hiking #squall #storm #polemountain #wyoming #curtgowdystatepark #vedauwoo

She's levitating! She's dancing! It's Chloe, the snow dog! I always love to share photos of our wild jumping bean who loves the snow. It was finally warm enough after some sub-zero days to take her outside yesterday. She literally jumps for joy as we walk her! When we get home, she loves to jump and catch snowballs. I didn't have the right lens on my camera for close action shots on me, but it's still funny to see her expressive faces and poses. #thatswy #dog #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dogmom #wyominglife #wyomingphotographer #wyomingwildlife #explorewyoming

So honored to have this photo chosen for a juried

So honored to have this photo chosen for a juried exhibit entitled WET at Northwind Art in Port Townsend, WA. This exhibition of photography explores the power of water in its various forms and how that power is manifested in diverse environments and cultures. Photographer and gallerist Christopher Rauschenberg will be the guest juror. Excited and honored to be a part of this!!

About the photo: If you've ever visited Seminoe Reservoir in south-central Wyoming, you may be familiar with this landscape. However, the devastating summer fire season of 2020 turned this environment into an ethereal experience with hazy orange skies all day long. We were enthralled by this quiet September morning with no people or boats to break the silence or the water.

Sometimes a little camera practice can occur during morning bird watching time. I don’t think she wanted me to interrupt her though! #photographerlife #wyomingphotographer #cheyennewyoming #catsofinstagram #cats #coicommunity #tigerpointsiamese #siamesecat #blueeyes

This was a beautiful old building just off a state

This was a beautiful old building just off a state highway in northwest Nebraska. It was in the middle of a field and still boasted the straight lines of its once solid structure. We saw it again last year and it has continued to deteriorate. More of the paint is gone, the porch is broken up, and there are ugly no trespassing signs nailed to it now. I'm glad I captured it when I did. #photographerlife #wyomingphotographer #abandonedplaces #abandonedphotography #abandoned_junkies #nebraska #nebraskaland

This is not a photo I've released as a print because it's not in sharp focus, but I am still fascinated by all the electrical boxes, textures, and patterns. It was an older building which made me wonder, why so many? What does it make you think of? #photographerlife #texas #gruenetx #bnw #bnwmood

Looking through some older shots and this was a beautiful sunset Lauren and I watched at Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado a few years back. We arrived late in the day and didn't have time to do much, except walk out a ways and watch the sunset. It was magical. I loved the reflection on the water that must've come from a storm earlier in the day. Those colors were INTENSE!

I haven't been out to shoot much but I did see this awesome old panel van a couple weeks ago in northern Wyoming. Love it! #wyoming #thatswy #wyomingphotographer #photographerlife #purewyoming #thatswy #cheyenneartist #allterrain_transpo #still_wheels #abandonedplaces #abandonedphotography

Eeek! Yesterday I dropped off my 3 pieces at the Western Spirit Juried Art Show and Sale at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum and today I received my invitation in the mail. So excited and nervous about having work in my first juried show! I totally don't expect to win anything, I am truly honored just to have been chosen to display these pieces. Wow. Make sure you come and see the show while it's open March 11- April 23rd. Can't wait to see the amazing work from artists from all over the country!

As you might guess, I've taken many photos of my kids over the years, and my favorites are always of them hiking together. It's not often we're on a family hike anymore, as they are both adults and we all live in different states. This shot reminds me of one of my favorite shots of them as children. Lauren had fallen down on the trail at Vedauwoo, gosh she was little- 4 years old. Dan took her by the hand and helped her up, then held her hand as they walked, encouraging her to continue. It was the sweetest moment. Us Moms, we don't forget moments like that. I'm glad they still like to be out together on the rare occasion we are all in the same place at the same time. (these photos were taken 20 years apart!)
