Walking

The sun is low in the sky and the shadows are long on the dirt road. It was frigid as I walked down the road with the two younger dogs. The old one was left looking out the window. The vet told us our distinguished old gentleman has a bad heart. So we left our golden retriever, Champ, inside by the warm woodstove.

The breath of the youngest, Rob, steamed out of his nostrils like a war horse as we waited for Dulcie, our foxhound. She has a way of disappearing into the trees, leaping away in the undergrowth in an instant. So Rob and I waited patiently until she came back to us. Rob, an Aussie mix, has severe hip dysplasia at 18 months. He's compensating with lots of love and exercise as well as daily physical therapy. But he knows that he can't keep up with the hound. So we wait.

She comes back as she always does, breathless and smiling ear to ear. We head home to the warm fire and our old friend waiting by the window.

INCREDIBLY TALENTED photographer! This photograph is AMAZING! Julie has wonderful communication. I can not recommend JulieMagersSoulen highly enough! You will NOT be disappointed!

Nancy says:
Everything about this purchase went smoothly. Julie made an effort to get it out in a hurry for Christmas. And her work is outstanding. Very high quality photo and just looking at it on Etsy truly does not do justice to how beautiful her work is once you get a chance to see it in person. I can't wait to order more!

  Welcome to my blog!

Colorado fine art photography featuring life and nature in the American West.

 I moved to Colorado more than 20 years ago and have always been an avid outdoors enthusiast. In 1999 I moved to a house we built in the forest of the Rocky Mountains where we lived off grid with solar power, well water, and cliff hanging dirt roads for twelve years. It was a unique experience that connected me to my environment in a very personal way and definitely influenced my work.

Our Rocky Mountain off grid home.

Many of my photographs were shot in this personal environment where I once lived. Colorado has so many wonderful opportunities for shooting photography. I have also traveled extensively in America's West shooting the Pacific Northwest, red rock canyons of the Four Corners, and the California coast.

My idea of fun!  I'm shooting Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly, Arizona.

Besides my passion for photography, I love traveling, hiking in the mountain forests, reading, and sharing my life with my husband, daughter and two dogs.
