Golden Nut Retriever

 Or as some folks like to call them a red squirrel.

Apple tree

Apple tree reflection on the pond at the Fountain Nature Center this morning.

Mallards

A couple male mallards coming in for a landing.

Chickadee

I went for a walk through the Fountain Nature Center last evening and this little guy popped up and sat on the branch as if saying take my picture. So I did.

Whitetail Deer

I saw these deer this morning while walking through the foggy woods.

Barbed Wire Post

I took this picture hoping it would be one that would make your eyes follow the wire to the post. It kinda worked. This is along a field near Penrose, Colorado.

Cactus and an Old Wood Fence

Lots of cactus in some places around southern Colorado. Here are both prickly pear and "walking stick" cholla.

Colorado Sky with Windmill

Colorado sky with windmill and some cattle gathered around for some water. The second picture was very overexposed but I thought it was kinda interesting.

Dusty Sunset

We have dust storms like this a few times a year here on the front range. It happens when we get high winds combined with low humidity.

Golden Sunset

Geese

Garden of the Gods

These are some photos we have taken of the Garden of the Gods Park. It is an awesome place to visit. Lots of trails to hike or bike or horseback if you choose to do so.

Red Rocks Against White Snow

This photo was taken along Hwy 114 along the Cochetopa Canyon.

Log Cabin from Years Gone By

The remains of someones house from long ago. This was from off Hwy 50 on the way towards Gunnison.

1900's Outdoor Bathtub

This bathtub is in Aiken Canyon Preserve. A trail branches off of the main loop trail and continues up the canyon to an old home site. The cabin and outbuildings are nothing but a pile of rubble but the hike up is very nice and you can see all of the work someone did to live in such a wild area. 

Arkansas River at Spikebuck Overlook

These pictures were taken in the Bighorn Sheep Canyon outside of Canyon City, CO.

Cloud Cover Lifting

This picture was taken along Hwy 115 between Colorado Springs and Penrose on this past Sunday morning.

Arkansas River Area

This photo was taken along the Arkansas River between Royal Gorge and Cotopaxi.

Twisted Branches

These branches are twisted around...crazy stuff.

Hawk Take Off

The hawk in this picture took off from the fence post before I could get his picture. I took it anyway and thought it was an interesting photo.

Rabbit

I saw this bunny on the way out of the Fountain Nature Center. It was sitting in the shade and I didn't think I would be able to get a good picture. So just as I was walking away it jumped up and stopped here so I could take it's picture. Thanks bunny rabbit!

Reflections

What an interesting picture. This picture actually is cropped from a larger picture that I took trying to capture the reflection of the mountains.
