This image of the gorgeous Helen Hunt Falls was photographed just as the aspens were beginning to turn color in the fall. The Falls is in Colorado on the east side of the Rocky Mountains. Although the east side of the Rockies is mostly prairie land, there are pockets of deciduous forests, buttes and canyons, as shown in this image. Ancient indigenous peoples inhabited this region for more than 13,000 years. Pueblo cliff dwellers, Ute, Apache, Comanche, Arapaho and the Cheyenne Nations are some of the tribes that followed the major migration route along the eastern Rockies and lived in the area.
Spanish explorers named the great river, Colorado, or Red River, for the color of the distinctive river silt. This state�s geography is distinctive in other ways as well. The range of diversity extends from alpine Rocky Mountains, to the arid Great Plains, from sand dune deserts to deep canyons, from ancient sandstone and granite rock formations to rivers, lakes and lovely forests.

Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope and gratitude is my lifelong passion and purpose. My mother painted when i was young and encouraged drawing and painting and handcrafting in all forms and my father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8. As a result, i have been a lifelong student of both mediums. Formal training of my eye and technique has been with the wonderful Pacific NW painter teachers, Stan Capon and Edi Olson. i hope you will enjoy these images as much as i enjoyed their creation.
