Hi, and thank you for stopping in for a visit. 

Raised in Minnesota in a hunting and fishing family I learned a lot about wildlife and nature. I moved to Colorado and the east side of the Rocky Mountains because the critters and mountain living called to me. 

Many of my images are taken in Rocky Mountain National Park as well as the Forest Service areas that surrounds my home.

I am a Nature First Photographer, for me that means, my goal is always to have as little impact on mother earth and her critters as possible. Knowing my subject and the topography are critical to minimizing my presence. Its a challenge and a joy but always a lesson learned.

Wildlife and photography are my happy place I hope that these images bring you a smile .

Be well

Deena Marie Czech
