Morning photo: Brilliance

Posted on October 20, 2012 by Bob Berwyn

Color hunting

Structure in nature is evident in the growth of ice crystals on autumn leaves near the shore of Dillon Reservoir.

FRISCO — The day started with a pretty sweet sunset, with a thin wave cloud over the Continental Divide adding texture and color to the sky. A short dog walk near Heaton Bay yielded a fun shot of some morning frost, which seems to form fully just in the last few minutes before the sun hits the ground. And I also managed to get just a wee bit closer to the Clark’s grebes that have been feeding in the bay for the past week or so.

Morning photo: Changes …

Posted on September 26, 2012 by Bob Berwyn

Rain, snow, sun, wind …

SUMMIT COUNTY — Definitely a fast shift of seasons under way, with a blustery storm rolling through the high country.leaving a nice little blast of snow on the higher peaks.

SUMMIT COUNTY — Tuesday was a dynamic weather day in Frisco, starting with a cool morning and enough moisture in the air to build up condensed water on the metal roof of our townhome. Bluebird morning skies quickly filled in with puffy cumulus that starting to build vertically over the mountains by early afternoon. After a half-hour rain storm, the clouds quickly broke down again, but gusty winds prevailed much of the afternoon, showing the vertical activity in the atmosphere. While the Summit Strikers soccer squad held their first practices, a few dark clouds threatened to the north over the Blue River Valley and the Gore Range. By evening, clearing skies to the west, and a low cloud deck promised colorful skies, and then delivered. (more…)

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Bob Berwyn

Gotta go with it!

One of the first dustings of winter came in October, portending a snowy winter.

SUMMIT COUNTY — It’s been a dream ski season in Summit County, and while some of us are ready to break out the flip-flops and bikes, I decided to celebrate winter one last time with some of the best archived snow shots at Summit Voice.
