Back from Colorado!

Well...I got back about 3 weeks ago. I've had several matters that needed my attention. In the past 3 weeks I have made 4 presentations at camera clubs (upcoming schedule below). Three of these presentations were on my upcoming eBook (stay tuned for that announcement). I've also had a chance to get out and make some photographs. Photographers making photographs...what a concept!

As I had mentioned in my earlier blog post, the Colorado visit was not going to be a photography trip since I was showing my Mom around. I was almost always driving to and from locations during the best light but I was lucky to have favorable conditions at times. While we visited a few familiar locations, I also used the time to scout out some new locations that I might visit in the future.

If you haven't been to Colorado, you must visit! It's scenery is amazing and it is almost a guarantee that you will run into some kind of wildlife if you get away from the city.

 

White River National Forest, Colorado

The biggest attraction are the Rocky Mountains.

The Maroon Bells - Snowmass Wilderness, Colorado

The alpine lakes are a pretty sight.

American Pika - Mt. Evans, Arapaho National Forest, Colorado

And wildlife is abundant. Other than the American Pika (seen above) we had a chance to view Elk, Marmots, Coyote and Red Fox. All without trying to find them!

The temperatures and weather were all over the place. From bright sunshine and 90 degrees in Denver to hail and freezing conditions with 40-50 mph winds in the mountains, we seemed to experience the full gamut in 5 days. There is a reason they say weather in the high country can be variable.

All in all, It was a very enjoyable trip. It was great to share some these natural wonders with my Mom. The photographs were a bonus. Now...when can I go back?
