Of course - this was after I photographed the family. I wanted to make sure I had enough card space and battery ( Ok - I do - i have 3 batteries... and 4 cards... I just wanted to sound like I had priorities)
Want to see what I saw?
Hope you said yes !!
This may have been abandoned ( ha ha) not sure tho!
You probably remember how much I LOVE black and whites? If I had more walls in my house - I would have a million of them..... don't ask how many walls I have already claimed......
I tell you - the sunset was just magnificent! No buildings to block anything, and no lights turning on
This time of year the sunflowers start to bloom and poor farmers have to deal with every photog in the city coming out to capture them. A lot of times to the detriment of the crop. I know - these aren't really sunflowers - but I caught the look - and .... didn't get in any field!! ( go me!)
We will call him Cliff
Cliff heard my car and heard the window go down and he gave me quite the stare.
Anywhere I moved... Cliff kept his eagle eye on me
At first it was funny - then it was kinda creepy
He felt big and bad as we drove away
he stared down that big ol white vehicle and claimed him pasture back
I LOVE barns!!!
And the skies - I feel the clouds and the skies really add so much drama!!
This is my fence post - by the time I let my poor husband stop driving it was pretty dark - but I love the effect of the stars in the sky with this one.
And another of Cliff - just cuz I like him... and I think - deep down under that angry stare.... he loves me
and this is the family
They are moving from this beautiful location and wanted some last memories of it
Here I tried to Photograph them looking really nostalgic
The End

Great photos! Love the black and whites.
Lovely pictures of colorful Colorado in Black & White. They are so... what’s the word I’m lookin for? Stunning! Love the buildings, barns, etc. good luck to the family who are moving on. Thanks for sharing.
Your photographs, both color and black/white, are truly artistic!
Great photos. My grandfather took wonderful photos. I take lousy photos.
Magnificent - every single one of those black and whites are beyond awesome. Sigh . . . .
Your photos could have been here in SD, or in ND, or KS or NE. The big wide prairie is a beautiful place.
I'm quite envious of your time behind the lens, the shots you captured, and the fact that Cliff is standing in a pasture that has green grass. Yes, I know it's a black and white shot, but I also KNOW that grass is green, and I am envious of anything green these days. LOL.
These are such great photos! You are really good with B&W photography. The barn photo under the clouds look so dramatic. Love the little sun behind the cloud you captured in the last photo of Cliff. A lovely collection!!

Beautiful photos of a beautiful, but different, part of Colorado. Out-of-staters think of only Colorado mountains, but there is so much to love on the plains! Did you go through Wiggins??
...mighty nice sights in your neck of the woods.
Alycia, you take fabulous pictures. You have a real talent and I wish you continued success in this field.
Beautiful photography Alycia!
Great black and white capture . Please tell something about my captures on my blog.
What gorgeous shots.
sometimes taking the back roads can show us the most interesting things. Enjoy the rest of your week. I am joining you at Wednesday around the World.
You nailed the family shot! Great job! Glad you took the risk.
