A few moody Colorado shots. - Douglas County, CO

Thanks to all who voted and to Partners in Palo Duro Canyon Foundation for running the annual Palo Duro Canyon photo contest. These were my entries for the wildlife and landscape categories We'll see what shots I can conjure up for next year, and we'll see if I have any entries for "plants" and "people" next time (I didn't this year). :)

Recent scenes and characters from Palo Duro Canyon, Texas.

Scenes from a recent, rather frigid visit to Colorado. I visited Garden of the Gods for the first time. I think I came away with some relatively unique shots of this very-photographed place. Some images from other places in the vicinity, too.

December scenes from northeast New Mexico and an early January shot from the Texas Panhandle (the mule deer buck).
