Fruits of labor

Recommended Posts

Labor Day weekend was the opening of blue grouse in Arizona. Rica and I went to the north Kaibab. Saturday was real windy and 3 historically productive spots produced nothing except one moment of birdiness. After a few days in Grand Canyon National Park, a return to another favorite spot produced nothing but a nice walk. Fortunately, the shooting of landscapes was much better.

At this point, I decided it was best to leave the exposed point and hustle back to the truck.

The elk are beginning to bugle and a photo trip for fall aspen colors in southwest Colorado is only two weeks away.

Holy Smokes, those are incredible!

The second and last should be posters for sale.

Great job Doug. Always enjoy your posts. Hope Colorado will be good. Going to the normal places I suppose? We were going to head up but just too much going on...

Thanks. Yes, will concentrate around Ridgeway. I've been reading about how the moisture this year has produced a fungus that is affecting the leaves closer to Denver. I have not heard much about southwest CO yet.

Doug,

I don't know how you constantly take such great pictures, but I am so glad do. Thanks for always sharing.

it is a lot like hunting to me- studying maps, weather reports, google earth, tips from friends, scouting spots in mid-day

It seems like with the moisture, if that is true, it will affect the fall. I know we always hope for a bunch of moisture in the summer for the flower bloom. Catch 22 eh?
