My brother John speaking on running. He passed on from this life this past Saturday, but he'll still be with me, on every run and every moment I'm enjoying the outdoors. I hope to pull up the old video files and make a vertical version for social media at some point. #running #trailrunning #nature

It’s always a good day when you stumble across a fellow birder with a camera. Thank you @samuel_forsyth for sending us some beautiful photos and video footage of three owlets. I met Sam when I was out for a run and I asked him what he was photographing before looking up in a tree to see three little owls. 🦉🦉🦉 We even got to see Mom or Dad stop by! It was a beautiful moment and I’m thankful that Sam had a camera to capture it! Thanks for sharing my excitement @samuel_forsyth ! Did you know that young Great Horned Owls rely on their parents for food for 4-5 months after they leave the nest? During this time, the parents show them how to hunt 🦉 I wish I had a pair of pocket binoculars with me on that run (Swarovski CL Pockets are my favorite). At Front Range Birding and Optics, we have anything from monoculars to pocket-sized binoculars to regular-sized binoculars to scopes. Stop by and we’d be happy to let you test out any of our optics 🔎 #greathornedowl #owls #owlstagram #owleyes #owlphotography

At home sick, taking advantage of a gray day to clean house, day dreaming a bit about Ironclads granite. . . . #ironcladsscramblingclub #ironclads #colorado #climbing #scrambling

Enjoying a cool weather outing with Trevor. We found Tom turkey in full courtship display for two pretty ladies. We scrambled up the Regency to Royal Arch before heading up Hammerhead, one of my favorite flatiron formations. Then we climbed the underrated rock called "Downclimb," before both failing at Katie's Tomato Rock route. It's a hard one. Nice little jog out to the Hollyberry trailhead. . . . #boulderflatirons #scrambling #bouldercolorado #flatirons #trailrunning

Six years ago today, a wintry sunrise above the clouds on Bear Peak. Always nice to catch some sun above the fog below. . . . #bearpeak #bouldercolorado #colorado #hiking #trailrunning

Deep inversion morning. Wonderful, damp feel on the trails and fresh spring life and earthy air. The Stearns towers and the old Valmont Power Plant looked especially epic in the clouds. . . . #bouldercolorado #inversion #trailrunning #climbing #boulderflatirons
