I'm excited to be here on Mastodon! Here's my #introduction - I'm a 5th Generation #Colorado native and have been doing full-time #photography for a while. I cut my teeth in photography while #climbing the highest 100 mountains in Colorado. I love #LandscapePhotography and co-lead an international photo competition - NLPA - we're dedicated to realistically edited #naturephotography. I am looking forward to engaging with everyone here, away from the cesspool that Meta has become! Cheers!

A breathtaking sunrise from 14,000 feet in Colorado's San Juan Mountains. Jagged peaks stretch across the horizon under dramatic red and orange clouds, showcasing the rugged beauty of this alpine landscape.

Brilliant fall colors blanket the West Elk Mountains in Colorado, with golden and orange aspens creating a vibrant foreground. Snow-dusted peaks rise dramatically under a moody, cloud-filled sky.

A serene high mountain lake near Silverton, Colorado, reflects the vivid red hues of sunlit peaks and the surrounding evergreen trees. The calm water mirrors a clear blue sky with soft clouds, creating a tranquil alpine scene.

Golden aspens glow in the fall light, illuminated by sunbeams breaking through the clouds over Ridgway, Colorado. A rugged landscape of pine trees and dry riverbeds stretches across the valley, bathed in warm, radiant light.

#introduction time!
My name is Martha. I am a Colorado based nature photographer and co-founder of Outdoor Photo Alliance. I am one who does not stick to one genre of photography. I like grand landscapes, small scenes, macro, wildlife, abstract and night photography. If there is something new to try, I’ll try it.
I believe mixing it up allows for more creativity.

A close up of a cluster of perhaps a dozen daffodils in full bloom. The daffodils have a classic appearance with bright yellow trumpet-shaped centers surrounded by six pale yellow petals. They sit prominently in the foreground, with their green leaves extending upwards from the ground.

In the background, there is a slightly blurred view of a grassy area with more daffodils scattered around. Beyond that, a lake, some buildings and bare trees are visible under a cloudy sky.

1/ As #winter in the #mountains winds down, I am concluding my fifth year of #snowshoeing in the mountains. So many great memories, so much to reflect. I began doing serious snowshoeing in the mountains around the peak of the pandemic (winter 2020/2021) when I needed to get outside. (CONT) #MountainMonday #PhotoMonday

Photo of me standing on mountain summit holding a pair of snowshoes. A distant mountain peak is behind me with snow-covered trail leading to it along the ridge. Gray overcast skies.

This photo was taken by a passing hiker at the summit of Little Haystack Mountain, White Mountains, New Hampshire. The neighboring mountain is Mt. Lincoln. February 25, 2025.

Frontal view of a male Kingfisher standing on a large rock. The bright colours of the bird contrast sharply with the dull grey surroundings of rocks and dirt. The bird turns its head to the side.

Photo closeup of thin water plant growing out of water. Water is calm and reflective. Gentle ripples in water cause the reflection to be distorted. Water is blue in foreground reflecting a blue patch of sky overhead.

I took this photo yesterday while canoeing on a small lake.

Visiting the local patch this evening to find some inner peace. Sat down the edge of a field of reed, watching some bumblebees. Looking up I met de eye of a female reed bunting, calmly sitting in the reed.

Had to stop the car on the way home from work for this beauty that was perched on an old house roof in the village of Lower Crawley this afternoon

Female Kestrel

A bird of prey—female Kestrel—perches on a moss-dappled rocky surface with its wings partially spread, showcasing intricately patterned brown and white feathers. Its yellow eyes are alert and piercing, and the hooked beak hints at its predatory prowess. A clear blue sky forms the backdrop, enhancing the bird’s striking silhouette.

The world’s only alpine parrot – the curious, clever, and often mischievous kea 🦜

Photographed here in its natural habitat in Otira, New Zealand, with the snow-covered Southern Alps as a backdrop. These endangered birds are full of personality and play a vital role in our mountain ecosystems.
Let’s protect what’s left.

A kea, New Zealand’s native alpine parrot, stands in the foreground on a ledge. Its feathers are olive green with hints of orange and teal, and it’s facing sideways against a dramatic backdrop of snow-covered mountains and rocky alpine terrain near Otira.

I have posted a few fogbows previously featuring the Cradle Mountain too. This one is more minimalist with only a tree and some layers.

mountain scenery with some layers and fog and reflecting in a lake. a single tree in the middle with a fogbow hitting the tree with its end and curving to the right. Morning warm light painting distant peaks and starting to paint the closer areas too.
