I planned to pick out my 10 favorite photographs from all I took throughout 2011, but I couldn't whittle it down to 10. So here are my twenty favorite shots from the past year, presented in chronological order.
 I passed by this sculpture in Aurora, CO during a bitterly cold snowstorm in February. |  A time exposure one winter night on a quiet stretch of Sixth Avenue. |
 Another time exposure, along a decidedly busier Interstate 25 from the Highland Bridge. |  A costumed polar dipper jumps into the reservoir in Nederland during the "Frozen Dead Guy Days" festival on March 5, 2011. |
 View of the constellation Orion during a nighttime snowshoeing session near Frisco, CO in late winter. |  Irish rock band U2 performs at Invesco Field on May 21, 2011. |
 Panorama from Rainbow Point at Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, during our summer vacation in June. |  View from the North Rim, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. This side of the canyon receives far less traffic than its southern counterpart, and is only open in the warmest months. |
 A twenty-minute hike from the road leads to this breathtaking view of Horseshoe Bend in Arizona. |  The view inside Antelope Canyon, Arizona. Located on Navajo tribal land, this area can only be accessed when accompanied with a native guide. |
 Waterfall outside Telluride, CO. Located near the Four Corners area, the town is known for its skiing. |  Fireworks over Coors Field in Denver, July 2, 2011. |
 Elk herd resting on a hillside in Rocky Mountain National Park, in Colorado. |  I passed by this baby rabbit while walking on the Triceratops Trail near Golden, CO. |
 Time-exposure of flowing water in Clear Creek. I had rafted this same section earlier in the day. |  A near-full moon rises over Idaho Springs in September. |
 Leaves changing color in the mountains near Rollinsville, CO. |  Sunset as seen from the corner of Colfax Avenue and Lincoln Street, near the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. |
 A replica of "Sue", the famous specimen of Tyrannosaurus Rex, on display at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. |  The D&F Clock Tower rises over the holiday lights of the Sixteenth Street Mall. |
