This Stonehenge looking structure is in north Fort Collins at a commercial landscape designer's walk through garden. It is truly one of my favorite places to shoot and a gorgeous gift in our community. I love walking among the cut rocks that have been erected to display their raw beauty. Whoever owns this business, thank you for making it open to the public!!!

A Zen shot has been on my bucket list and I was really hoping to do this one outdoors, on a sandy beach at Horsetooth Reservoir. Instead, the monsoon season has come to Colorado, so it's an indoor shot with a painted sunset and polished rocks. I like it.

I have been shooting rock pictures for a very long time. There is one place in particular where I have taken hundreds of photos over the years, but not since moving into digital. This huge rock field is in Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming. Honestly, I can't even begin to guess how massive this thing is because it goes for miles in one direction and is probably at least a mile wide in the other. I shot this picture in 2006 using my old Pentax ME. I just happen to have a digital file of it because when I had the film developed, I had the images put on a CD too. I can't wait to get up there this summer and shoot with my new equipment. One thing I noticed about this photo, aside from the film grain, is that my style has not really changed much.
