A Sunset for the Ages!!!!


Northwest from my office...
Northeast from Edward's room...
Northeast again...
Northwest, again, a few minutes later from my office...
Southwest towards the mountains..
A few moments later...
...and...
finally...jaw dropping event...
Walking trail @ Garden of the Gods Ntl Park..
It is crystal clear that the beautiful skies in Colorado are a photographers playground. Yesterday was a gorgeous Autumn day. Jimmy and I took a long walk in Garden Of the Gods National Park. Some of the walking trails are still closed from the recent floods, but we took a trail, just above our normal route. There were still some muddy/running water patches, which we also navigated, thankfully without issue. I took numerous pics, posted a couple. But as gorgeous as yesterday was, the sunset last night was beyond beautiful. People say that Colorado is 'God's country'. Well if ever there was any doubt, these pics should quell your doubts. I did minimal editing, really. I have never seen the light quite like this. So, may the photos speak for themselves!!!

'It is good to give thanks to the Lord
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; 
To declare Your loving kindness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night'

October Snow...(ugh...)

'They' told us it was coming. A huge dip in the temps from Tuesday to today....literally, close to 50 degrees colder...and it snowed. We were out last night when the precipitation began and within 5 minutes we were almost blinded by the snow. I woke up this morning to this awe inspiring, jaw dropping gorgeous sight. I took some pics w/ my iphone, but I can't zoom all that well, and the majesty is better captured w/ a 'real' camera. Am I happy that it is 27 degrees outside and that it snowed...not even a little, people. We are told that we will 'recover' into the 60's by early next week...but, in the meantime...WOW!!!!
