63rd Street Farm Wedding, Boulder Colorado

I had the great privilege to photograph the owners of the wonderful wedding venue 63rd St. Farm today. Amanda and Brian tied the knot on their land today and it was wonderful and incredibly love filled.

There are many images but this one stood out for a quick post late night after the event. More tomorrow...

Rest in Peace Harriet Baker

My dear friend; first Colorado client, and Colorado grandmother, Harriet died today peacefully at the age of 93.

She was a true inspiration and had a hell of a lot of class. She will be sorely missed. I made this image today in her honor.

Joy of Work

Once a month a group of independent, women business owners get together at my studio to network and support each other. We are not fancy or formal about it, yet support each other with great enthusiasm and love. It is a true gift to have this monthly gathering of entrepreneurial women. Shown here are a few of the women in the group from this month's meeting. Cindy Morris of Priestess Entrepreneur astrologer and TV talk hostess, handy woman Megan Blohm, of Working Hands,(who is so busy she does not even need a website :), Jo Lee, the intuitive of Spirit Whispering,, Susan Steele, the interior designer of Interior Motives, and Robin Meetz, the graphic designer of Imagination Technology.
If you are in need of any of these services, please do give them a call or see their websites as these are fine women doing great work. Some more representatives of the group will be featured next month....

Aspen Trees

One of the Largest Organisms on Earth
Aspen trees are the stems of one of the earth’s largest living organisms. Hundreds or even thousands of trees (which are clones, or identical genetically to one another) can be joined underground by a single root network and can live for thousands of years. The leaves of aspen trees sharing root systems (or clones) turn at the same time in autumn, often creating a brilliant singular display of color.

Kate said this is a great example of 2 different Aspen organisms so one is leafing out before the other.
All of the aspens (including the White Poplar) typically grow in large clonal colonies derived from a single seedling, and spreading by means of root suckers; new stems in the colony may appear at up to 30–40 metres from the parent tree. Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. In some cases, this is for thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground. For this reason it is considered to be an indicator of ancient woodlands. One such colony in Utah, given the nickname of "Pando", is claimed to be 80,000 years old, making it possibly the oldest living colony of aspens. Some aspen colonies become very large with time, spreading about a metre per year, eventually covering many hectares. They are able to survive forest fires, since the roots are below the heat of the fire, with new sprouts growing after the fire burns out.

An amazing time in Yampa near the flat tops in Colorado. A stunning wilderness area and where one of my dearest friend lives. Lucky us!
