6.28.20 - Not an hour before this sunset, I was sitting at dinner, complaining about the lackluster sunrises and sunsets we’d been having recently. While finishing the meal, I noticed a bit of color in the sky, but it didn’t seem promising. Then, on the drive home, the colors started to pop. I hightailed it to my local go-to spot for impromptu shoots and was able to capture the brilliant reds over Beaver Creek Reservoir. I haven’t done much research into the Saharan dust storms, but I suspect this colorful event was, at least in part, due to the extra particles in the atmosphere reflecting more light.

1.31.19 - Cold weather meant an hour delay from school, so I was able to go watch the sunrise. Unfortunately there wasn't any fun cloud action, but the frozen grass at the edge of the reservoir made for an interesting focal point.

5.29.17 - Beaver Creek Reservoir was totally socked in with heavy fog this morning, but I watched two kayakers paddle away into the distance. Right before they went around the bend, a gap opened up in the fog and let in a thick beam of light, illuminating the opposite bank with a golden glow.

1.9.17 - I posted another photo of the same sunrise a few days ago taken at a wider angle. This new shot uses a different viewpoint and a telephoto lens to highlight the mountains looming over the reservoir. I'm not sure I like one more than the other, but they're distinctly different photos.

1.9.17 - I took advantage of a snow day from school to get out and about this morning. Although it was 8° as the sun came up, I thought the benefits of spending time outside were well worth the chill.
