Peak Moods (4) - Fresh

My Peak Moods photos are taken from my front porch, usually in the morning when the light is good. This one shows the first real snow of the winter on Pikes Peak, late last week.

Skywatch Friday

Great Garden

We had visitors in town this weekend so we took them to Garden of the Gods, and caught the last remaining autumn color.

Pikes Peak had its first real snowfall on Thursday, so it stood out.

One of the best views in the park is through the Siamese Twins rock formation; this requires a short hike so many tourists miss it.

But anywhere you look it was beautiful.

We couldn't drive to the top of the Peak because of the snow but Garden of the Gods kept our visitors happy. I love having scenery like this right in my own city!

Pea Ridge Fences

While in Missouri we took a short trip to Arkansas to see the Pea Ridge battleground site. Here are some shots from the site; more to come.

Shadow Shot Sunday

Branson Hills

I'm still blogging about our trip to Missouri. The last post was from a trail just outside Branson. Near that trail was a fun little tower which I climbed - I took the first photo for Skywatch Friday, and the rest of the shots are from the tower's top.

Branson is a tourist town which has a lot of entertainment options, including this roller-coaster.

Here's a shot of the town. There are a lot of theaters with live entertainment.

I believe this tower has zip lines and bungee jumping, but as neither interest me I didn't explore more closely.

Old Courthouse Rotunda

I liked the rotunda in the St. Louis old courthouse so much I'm dedicating a whole post to it.

NYC Night 1978

Here's another of my photos from New York in 1978. This one's a little rough as it was taken without a tripod at night on a film camera, but I did what I could with it.
