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

Some more wonderful photographs my friend! Now I want to go camping! But, I need to have an electric outlet for my sewing machine!

Love the centered tree B&W photo. Better watch out, bears love trout too!

Could your purple flower be related to fire weed? It certainly forms interesting seed pods.

Beautiful pictures! Love the way you switch to B&W on some...really enhances the details that tend to get lost in color. Looking forward to pictures of your next hike!!

Beautiful photos. I really like the black and white photos, but the second shot of the purple flowers is my absolute favorite.
