  • Kelley Mattingly (cq, in yellow), 25, of Carbondale, Co. rides a trail in Cardondale where she lives with her twin sister, Theresa. Both have done well in regional mountain bike races. Despite their success, neither is sponsored even by the local bike shops that have teams and they said it may have something to do with their gender because the sport is very much still a male-dominated discipline. They both have paid their own way for their racing including equipment, maintenance and travel and said the financial strain has prevented them from racing as much as they'd like..(MARC PISCOTTY / © 2005) CQ Theresa and Kelley Mattingly By photographer Marc Piscotty

  • Ashlyn Dumaw (cq), 2, of Ann Arbor, Mich. gets a birds-eye view of the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve from atop her dad Kurt's (cq) shoulders as they explore the dunes during the last light of the day. Great Sand Dunes, located near Alamosa, is the state's newest national park and features stunning sand dunes that rise more than 700 feet above the floor of the San Luis Valley. Last year the National Park Service completed the conversion of Great Sand Dunes from a national monument to a national park. The park now encompasses some 150,000 acres and the dunes were formed by blowing winds that have carried sand across the San Luis Valley and deposited them at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains for thousands of years. Dumaw said he has been to the dunes a couple of times now and was visiting relatives in the state this trip..(MARC PISCOTTY/ © 2005) CQ Ashlyn and Kurt Dumaw By photographer Marc Piscotty

  • SHOT 5/29/2003 - The Arkansas River has been called one of the most over appropriated rivers in the United States. The river provides much of the drinking and irrigation water for the area and is also of source of fun for those that run it in white water rafts or kayaks.

  • SHOT 8/6/2003 - As ranches and agricultural land has given way to new subdivisions in Douglas County so has the way of life changed in what was once rural, agrarian land. Strip malls and superstores have started to invade what has been the fastest growing county in the country cutting down on the amount of open space and ranch land in Douglas County. Every year however the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo captures the attention of the county's residents and recalls the days that Douglas County truly was home to ranchers and livestock alike.

  • SHOT 10/2/2002 - Aspen leaves gather droplets of water as the early-season snow begins to melt near Empire along Highway 40 Wednesday morning. Aspens are trees of the willow family and comprise a section of the poplar genus, Populus sect. Populus. Aspens (apart from the aberrant White Poplar) are distinguished by their nearly round leaves on mature trees, 9?16 cm diameter with irregular rounded teeth. They are carried on strongly flattened leaf stems, which enable the leaves to twist and flutter in the slightest of breezes. All the aspens (including White Poplar) typically grow in large colonies derived from a single seedling, and spreading by means of root suckers; new stems in the colony may appear at up to 30?40 m from the parent tree. Each tree only lives for 40?150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived, in some cases for many thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground. For this reason it is considered to be an indicator of ancient woodlands..(Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2002) By photographer Marc Piscotty
