Aspen Times Staff Pick’s pics: Our team’s best photos of July

Aspen Misc.: Aspen Times Staff photographs

Our team of reporters and editors are out and about every day. On the third Sunday of the month, we’re using our Aspen Miscellaneous feature to showcase some of the moments they capture when they are working and playing in our community.

We also encourage readers to send in photos from their every day adventures. If you have a local photo you’d like for us to consider — or you want to be a part of our “Where’s My Aspen Times?” — send your submissions to mail@aspentimes.com (with “Aspen Misc.” in the subject line) with your name, home town and phone number.

People watching at the Snowmass Rodeo is always a treat, and we spotted this little cowboy on the fence getting up close to the action. (David Krause / The Aspen Times)
Max, an English Lab and Aussie cattle dog mix, leads the way into a high elevation lake in the Aspen backcountry last weekend. While he couldn’t get enough of the water it proved too frigid for Hannah Condon, left, and Zach Nichols. Their feet went numb after just a couple of minutes. Hobbit feet were needed.
