Our hope is that everyone is well and enjoying the last days of 2013. It has been a big year for us. Jeremy turned 40 and was awarded tenure. I passed my 5 year mark since my cancer treatments ended. Our beloved Kaweah made it to her 15th birthday on frail legs, but with the same enthusiasm for food as ever. This was a year of staying close to home to care for our aging pup and to explore our new digs in Crested Butte, Colorado. We invite you to peruse some of our favorite photos from 2013.<\/p>\n

In May, we closed on a lovely home in one of the most stunning places on the planet: Crested Butte, Colorado. It is a birthday and tenure present for Jeremy, my second office, a base of operations, a slice of paradise.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

A series of late spring storm tracks replenished our meager snowpack. Jeremy hikes into the backcountry to get some turns in June. (Indian Peaks Wilderness)<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

We split our time between Nederland and Crested Butte, exploring the new and savoring the familiar. Mount Crested Butte in late evening. (June)<\/h4>\n

Summer’s volatile weather was in full glorious display in Crested Butte. Mammatus clouds billow over Mount Crested Butte after a torrential downpour. (August)<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Colorado’s autumn sunsets never fail to impress. (September – Nederland)<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Our mountain town of Nederland was mostly unaffected by the massive rains and floods that ravaged other mountain and Front Range communities like the city of Boulder. It all happened just as I was leaving for Crested Butte for the autumn shoot.<\/i><\/p>\n

The fall colors had an unusually late start, but the aspens looked promising. Aspens and conifers. (October – Crested Butte)<\/h4>\n
