I attended a conference recently in Estes Park....yea they really had to twist my arm to make that trip. Spent a little bit of time early in the morning photographing in the park - was actually pretty proud of some of these pictures.
Remember to look at the entire gallery at www.russellhaddock.com
This might be one of my favorite pictures. Was driving to the top - Alpine Visitors Center and came across a group of Elk.
I always figured those horns would get heavy.
One of the highlights of this trip - I have been to Rocky Mountain NP many times and have yet to see a moose. This time I came across this mother and her calves. It was pouring down rain and I was the only one out taking pictures....but then again that probably doesn't surprise anyone.
Sunrise at Sprague Lake
Came across these ducks as I walked around Sprague Lake after the sunrise shoot. I was actually packing up the gear and heading to the car when I saw this shot.
I have been to the Bear Lake area of RMNP every trip and come away with different photographs - but haven't hiked all the way to Emerald Lake. Finally did that late Sunday evening - actually took this shot at Nymph Lake on the way back.
