Winter King
This picture of an elk was photographed in Rocky Mountain National Park in a brilliant green summer alpine meadow. I did not like the bright green background and decided to make the photo into something a little bit different using digital art techniques. I thought he would look so handsome on an antique tapestry hanging in a medieval castle and was inspired by that thought. There is even an old English legend that fits about a "Winter King" haunting Windsor Forest during the cold winter months. He is a ghost called Herne the Hunter and was reportedly seen at midnight with antlers on his head. The earliest written account of this legend was in 1597 by none other than William Shakespeare.
Sometime a keeper here in Windsor Forest,
Doth all the winter-time, at still midnight,
Walk round about an oak, with great ragg'd horns;
And there he blasts the tree, and takes the cattle,
And makes milch-kine yield blood, and shakes a chain
In a most hideous and dreadful manner.
You have heard of such a spirit, and well you know
The superstitious idle-headed eld
Receiv'd, and did deliver to our age,
This tale of Herne the Hunter for a truth.
— William Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor
Winter King
Winter king photo, is a digitally created image of an elk leaning over festive red berry branches in an antique vintage style print. The perfect way to add an "old world" woodland style to your home, office, or bedroom decor.

Holiday Christmas Greeting Cards
Well my friends, it has been awhile since we last chatted. Since then I have replaced my old computer that was having some old age difficulties handling my large volume of photography. It did not take long to buy a new computer, but the file transfers were a bit trickier. After some careful planning, one failed attempt, and much reading I succeeded in migrating and restoring almost 80 GB of photography files. Whew! It feels great to be done!
I have also been squeezing in time to work on some new holiday designs for this years Christmas cards. Here are my first three that are ready to go for the 2012 season. I hope you like them. And as always, I appreciate your comments and feedback. Cheers!

Rocky Mountain Elk at Sundown
Nothing says autumn to me like bugling elk in Rocky Mountain National Park. These two bachelors were taking the night off as the sun started to set. They were with a group of about six other mature bull elk who were all bedding down for the night. The alpine meadow was so serene and quiet, I could have watched them for hours.
Visiting the park reminds me instantly of my place in the natural world; no more important or less important than any of the majestic creatures that share this beautiful world with me. I would like to take each of you with me to witness this miracle of a planet, but I will settle for sharing a photo. I hope you enjoy it!
