Winding Up The Rocky Mountain Top...

Posted by jennifer on August 17, 2008.

Hello My Friends-
I just arrived back from another adventure into a territory that seems ultimatly like a foreign jungle to me- known as Hollywood. I have to tell you, it takes me about three days to adjust coming from the mountains into city life. I could once call those streets my own but not since my feet left the pavement have I been able to look back. Now, two years after my journey into the mountains began, I feel like a wild animal roaming far from it's natural territory. With all that aside, my trip was extremely productive and I have some new clients that have joined the pack. Lots of meetings and then more meetings, filming, an interview, catching up with old friends and saying hello to some new ones. All in all, Los Angeles was once again a success. I'll be back in a couple of weeks for another round of the same thing.
When I come home and hit that road that leads up to my home here in Colorado, all that stress just seems to fly away with the wind. I'm again at peace as I see the familiar face of a deer crossing my path and that fresh clean mountain air is enough to make me want to go out with the dogs for an evening hike. The birds chirp outside my windows, a raccoon makes it's way up the dirt driveway and here I feel myself connected to mother nature and all that she shares to teach me.
To bring this to my clients in Los Angeles who are far from it is such an incredible experience.
Looking forward to meeting with everyone back here in the mountains and hope this finds you and your dogs well!
All my best,
Jennifer

Oh Deer...

Posted by jennifer on May 28, 2007.

On our day off, the dogs and I hit the trails and we thought we'd share a few pictures... Yes, this is a deer we came across that even tilted his head when I made a squeaky noise to take this shot- I guess whether working with dogs or deer in front of the camera, the same things work :-)~
Hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day as much as I did...
Best,
JMc

Life Untamed

Posted by jennifer on April 19, 2007.

Not many people get the opportunity to live so close to nature. I've been very fortunate to get a glimps of life in the wild. As the snow melts away, the grass grows lush green with spring flowers. The trees are blooming, the sun is out and gusts of snow whip off the mountain in breath taking sweeps. At 14,000 feet, you can only imagine that every breath you take is harder with each step. Moose chew on the leaves while you hike past in the backcountry and at night, the yips and howls of the coyotes will wake you out of a deep sleep. This is spring in Colorado and Colorado has taken a piece of my heart...

Wow

Posted by jennifer on April 02, 2007.

I walked outside tonight, looked up in the sky and couldn't help but notice the full moon which was so bright, it was almost like looking at a distant sun. The greyish- white clouds looked like fast moving cotton that could have left me sea sick. It's an amazing experience to live up in this elevation where nature often leaves me saying "wow"....
