Sure-footed dall sheep navigates a sheer cliff. Yeah, you don’t want to fall from there! Thankfully for this lady, she can navigate the wall with relative ease. #sheep #dallsheep #Alaska #wildlife #wildlifephotography

U.S. Navy Blue Angels showcase precision formation flying. Let’s call it #WingsWednesday as I jump back to the airshow in Grand Junction from a couple of weeks ago. ⚓ #BlueAngels #USN #Navy #airshow #Colorado #GrandJunction #military #aviation

“Whoa! Where did you come from?” An American pika seems a bit surprised to find a 6' 1" photographer lurking outside its front door. 😆 #pika #AmericanPika #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Colorado

Brown pelican gets its closeup. Quite the handsome looking bird! My wife has a love for pelicans so when we were in California, she was excited to get to see these big birds up close. #pelican #brownpelican #California #SOCAL #birding #wildlife #wildlifephotography

“Hey! Where have you been?” Very sorry for going incommunicado this past week but I went to #SOCAL to visit friends of a few different species including this sea lion. #sealion #sealionsunday #California #LaJolla #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Mule deer buck keeps close watch on the ladies. The ladies weren’t willing, but this handsome fellow was keeping close tabs on them anyway. Here he pauses briefly, giving me a very regal pose. #deer #buck #wildlife #RMNP #wildlifephotography #Colorado

Viper takes to the skies for Fighting Falcon Friday. Certainly, my preference leans Navy but I have to say the Air Force zoomies did a pretty darned good job with this. 😉 #aviation #airshow #viper #f16 #falcon #airforce #USAF #Colorado #military

“Yo, ladies! Your man is here!” With his arrival, this bull elk was letting the cows know he was ready and willing. #elk #wapiti #bull #Colorado #RMNP #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Warbirds take to the Colorado skies. Very exciting to see these World War II throwbacks. Amazing aircraft that helped save the world. FG-1D Corsair, P-51C Mustang, FM-2 Wildcat, TBM Avenger. #warbird #aviation #military #WarbirdWednesday #airshow #Colorado #GrandJunction #CAF

Blue Angels’ solos go head-to-head. Seeing how fast and how close these two come is absolutely impressive. Taken in Grand Junction, CO this past weekend. #BlueAngels #military #aviation #airshow #Colorado #GoNavy

Moose bull samples the willows along a creek. Many of the willows in this area have gotten quite picked over, likely due to overgrazing by the moose. In less accessible areas though, there is still plenty to eat. #moose #MooseMonday #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Colorado

Passing thunderstorm yields a rainbow and anticrepuscular rays. A cool scene captured by drone from a week or so ago when a weak thunderstorm moved through. #rainbow #drone #dronephotography #weather #Colorado #cowx

“Mom! Don’t embarrass me in front of the tourists!” A very fun scene as this elk cow enjoys a tender moment with her calf. #elk #cow #calf #lake #mountains #EstesPark #Colorado #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Osprey and the catch of the day. A good day for the osprey, not so much for the trout. Harkening back to early May for this capture of this awesome raptor soon after it emerged from the water with its breakfast. #osprey #fishing #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Colorado #raptor

Big whale, little magnet. Jessica Schmidtbauer used my favorite image from my Alaska trip as a basis for this way cool magnet. You can see more of Jessica’s work on Instagram at foxtailoriginals. #orca #killerwhale #whale #spyhop #seward #alaska #wildlife #wildlifephpotography

Elk bull plays hide-and-seek. They say sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees. In this case, can you see the elk for the trees? #elk #wapiti #WapitiWednesday #Colorado #wildlife #wildlifephotography #RMNP

Mule deer buck strikes a pose in the forest. This handsome guy and one of his buddies were following a herd of does. I ran ahead, capturing this regal pose as he crested a hill in @RockyNPS. #deer #muledeer #buck #Colorado #mountains #RMNP #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Love is in the air as moose bull and cow go nose to nose. Is it love at first sight? 🫎 It probably was for him and his raging hormones. For her, well, she had a couple options and wasn’t quite ready to commit. 😉 #moose #MooseMonday #wildlife #wildlifephotography #Colorado

High altitude double rainbow. A gorgeous scene from Upper Beaver Meadows in Rocky Mountain National Park last weekend. #rainbow #mountains #landscape #RMNP #Colorado #cowx
