| Colorado
Wild: Preserving the Spirit and Beauty of Our Land
by Judith B. Sellers, Willard Clay (Photographer), T.A. Barron.
Hardcover.
In
this coffee-table book, stunning photographs and exquisite prose
take you from the prairie to the Front Range all the way to the
mountains and the Colorado Plateau. We have found ourselves poring
over this book again and again to soak in the images. Among the
most impactful photos are those of the San Juan Range in fall
and winter. This is one of the top Colorado photography books
we have seen. |
14,000
Feet: A Celebration of Colorado's Highest Mountains
by
Walter R. Borneman; Todd Caudle
Judge this book by its cover! After viewing the stunning cover
photos of Windom and Sunlight peaks in golden light and in black
and white, you'll quickly want to open up to the pages, which
portray all of the major Colorado mountain ranges. Todd Caudle
is no stranger to hard work and long days, as is evident in his
talented photography of the highest peaks of our state. The textual
information by Walter Borneman is fascinating because he covers
historical information and his modern-day adventures climbing
the rugged "fourteeners."

Rocky
Mountain Elk Portfolio
by
Donald M. Jones. Hardcover.
Elk are special favorites of ours especially because of their behaviors
during the rut, or mating season. For dynamite photos of elk bulls,
cows and calves (their young) in every season, you'll want to spend
some time with this visual volume. |
Colorado
Wildlife Portfolio
by
Lee Kline. Hardcover.
Written by a native Coloradan, this is a luscious coffee-table book
chock full of wildlife of all kinds. From the very small pika to
the huge Shiras moose, Lee Kline deftly presents his photographs,
each with an interesting sidebar that makes a story. Very wonderful
to peruse! |
Rocky
Mountain National Park Impressions
by
Glenn Randall. Paperback.
We would definitely call this a fine-art book, because the photos
have that quality about them. Glenn Randall knows how to use light
to his advantage in one of our nations premier national parks, Rocky
Mountain National Park. His snow scenes especially impress, but
all of the seasons shine. |
Colorado
Impressions
by
Eric Wunrow. Paperback.
Scenery isn't just limited to the standard landscapes in this book.
Cityscapes, historic buildings, and more modern structures all come
alive in Wunrow's photography. The lovely mountain, lake, and more
untouched visions of the state are lovely, of course, as well. |
Our
Colorado
by J. C. Leacock. Hardcover.
When
this book arrived, we oooo'ed and aaaaah'ed over it. It was so enjoyable
to see a fresh perspective on some of the classic Colorado vistas
that we have photographed ourselves. There is great variety in the
book's photos, covering cityscapes, Colorado people, and wildlife.
You will love the saturated colors of this eye-pleasing collection
by one of the nation's top ten landscape photographers. |
Colorado
Close-up
by J. C. Leacock, and Beasley Conger, Jr.
Paperback.
We tend
to look at the grand vistas in this state of ours. Now it's time
to have a look at the smaller details--the flowers, the grasses,
the leaves, and more. Accompanying the exquisite photos of J.C.
Leacock are the thoughtful writings of Conger Beasley, Jr. The small
square-format book is organized by zones (plains, foothills, montane,
subalpine, alpine, and desert). It makes a fine addition to any
Coloradoan's library. |
Rocky
Mountains: Wilderness Reflections
by Tim Fitzharris. Paperback.
Covering
the entire Rocky Mountain region from Canada to New Mexico, this
luscious volume is a feast for the eyes. We especially enjoyed the
section on the Southern Rockies, which includes our state of Colorado.
The reflection images are sublime. Since wildlife is a particular
love of ours, we were drawn to the photos of bighorn sheep, beaver,
pika, and the many birds. Fitzharris has really captured Colorado
well! |
Rocky
Mountain National Park: A Year in Pictures
by David Dahms. Hardcover (2003)
Of all the national
parks, Rocky Mountain National Park is our favorite to visit in
every season of the year. This book really portrays this accessibility
and the variety of wildlife found in the park. It takes you fromTrail
Ridge Road in the summer to plentiful aspen foliage in fall, on
through a snowy winter at Bear Lake and spring's glorious wildflowers.
The photos are top-notch, a feast for the eyes. |
Always
Colorado
by John Sheppard. Paperback.
After
reading about Sheppard's photography, we just had to see his book.
It is everything we had hoped for. In brilliant, glossy color, the
photos leap off the large pages. There are scenics, sports photos,
wildlife, and people-in-nature shots. We know you'll enjoy this
book as much as we have. |
