Photo Friday: Burning Skies

On the way back from a Pikes Peak trip, the sunset was mind blowing.  You had dark storm clouds overhead but the sun heading behind the mountains, creating this vision of a sky burning brightly as if on fire. This photo was taken with my point...

Photo Friday: Royal Gorge

Photo Friday: Random Waterfall

Pike’s Peak National Park – Random Waterfall: When the snow melts, you get a lot of these cropping up.  This one was cool because you could easily get to it.  We even drank the water. 🙂...

Photo Friday: Whirled Peas

In Estes Park, Colorado, there is a river walk that includes a tunnel. The entrance and exit of this tunnel are lined with ceramic tiles decorated by local school children.  This one is particularly amusing: As you can see, the kid in the middle...

Photo Friday: Treebeard?

No, sorry – that’s not Treebeard.  What that is, I can’t say.  Other than weird.  Pucker up? I snapped this photo at a tourist attraction in Manitou Springs, Colorado – the Cliff Dwellings.  Cool place.  Weird tree. The...

Photo Friday: Undah de Sea

Okay, so, maybe not really under the sea seeing as how this was taken at a lake up in the Rocky Mountains – but with all that seaweed, how could I not go there? I did not get wet trying to take this photo. Okay, I did not get much wet...
