Field Notes
Beyond the frame, there is always a story. These notes are reflections from the road—the history written into a landscape, the dignity of a new face, and the quiet ways the world continues to change the way I see.
The Holiday Express in Leadville: A Winter Night at the Train Station
We didn’t see it pull in. We came around the corner near the Leadville train station and found the Holiday Express glowing against the night sky—an unexpected moment of warmth, light, and winter stillness.
Winter Reset in the Sawatch Range

Chasing Gold in Leadville
One of the things my wife and I love to do is get out and enjoy God’s creation whenever we can. In late September, we were able to sneak away to Leadville to take in the fall colors. Timing is always tricky—we’ve gone too early before, when everything was still green, and we’ve gone too late, when the wind had already stripped the trees bare. But this year? We hit it at the absolute peak.
