Woodland Spring in Fort Collins, Colorado

We currently have a covering of snow here in northern Colorado, but I am reminded that this replenishing snow will fortify our woodlands for a burst of springtime pink and white cherry blossoms  very soon. This photo was taken on an urban nature walk through one of our plentiful open spaces in Fort Collins last year. Take heart. Spring is coming!

The Face of Fort Collins 2 - Steet Photography

I received just enough encouragement to test your patience with more urban street photography. Here are my latest with a couple very different approaches. The first image of the woman is pretty straight forward. I did virtually nothing but bump up the contrast and vibrance in this one. The second I decided to alter drastically. There was an element about this young man that made me think of graphic novel heroes. Do you like the straight approach or the graphic one better? Color or black and white?

Moonrise at Twilight

The city lights twinkle like stars spread out on the high plains of Colorado. Since my first look at this astonishing view the tiny lights have extended like a slow spreading spill of jewels. Tonight the moon adds brilliance to the vista from my high eyrie. As Luna slowly dances and sways seductively up her high path in the clouds the rest of the world pauses to appreciate her beauty.

Moon over City Lights

The autumnal full moon rises over the city of Fort Collins on the high plains of Colorado casting a glowing blush in the sky of pink, mauve, and lavender.
