Camping In Colorado

When I took Ricky Timms Photo Class - he recommended sometimes just sitting and seeing what was around you - and really really looking.....

I thought on this hike I should practice this tip.... and because I wanted to eat lunch... a twofer!! ha ha

There I am  - this was my spot !

And my dog is right next to me, but he kept hiding from the camera!

 A tree!!

And the view kinda looking up

and then - I saw boaters

and we got jealous

Puppy and I wanted to go out in the boat!!

Of course - 

Looking around - there were a LOT of pine needles

so I thought you would want to see them!

Little Bit doesn't like sitting as well as my feet did

so he grabbed his fishing pole and starting fishing

Me - being the awesome angler that I am said

"Bring me Dinner Boy!:"

And he did

I really liked these little purple flowers

I kept trying to use different settings to see what I could come up with

I liked this one - it blurred the lake out

and then I looked behind me.... I was so glad there wasn't a bear.... I wouldn't have seen him, and he might have wanted my lunch!!!  I have a tendency to not share with bears.....

We really didn't sit that long, but a small storm moved over 

the clouds were just SO cool

and while it was a little darker ( due to the storm)

I tried my Purple Flowers again

This one looks like a postcard to me

and then I took another hike....

so you will have to see that on a nother day.....

Cuz I know you want to - I really really know these things...

PS - just in case you were wondering

Today is TUESDAY... Not Monday - so don't make that mistake
