Grey Skies

Here's a local butte, taken on a recent hike on a rare cloudy morning. I prefer sunny skies.

Skywatch Friday

Ruby Falls!

I've shown you some of the Ruby Falls cavern (which you walk through to get to the waterfall) in the last couple of posts, but the spectacular part is the destination, completely within part of the cave. After walking for a while the waterfall becomes audible, and eventually you come to its cavern.

The lights change as you watch.

In my opinion you don't get to spend enough time at the waterfall, but it's certainly impressive while you're there.

From the zoo, here's a playful hippopotamus for Camera Critters and Saturday's Critters.

Peak Moods (12) - Stormy Again

With all the stormy and snowy photos I post my readers must think that I live in a cold place with a horrible climate. Here's another cold and stormy photo, for my Peak Moods series of photos linked with Skywatch Friday, which are of Pikes Peak taken from my front porch, always within the previous week.

In fact it's usually sunny and rarely cold where I live, but that doesn't make for good photos so you don't see it as often. This weekend I went for several walks with the dogs in the warm sunshine, including in a nearby forest.

Ruby Falls Formations

Here are some lovely natural rock formations in the cave that leads to Ruby Falls.

Part of the attraction was how well everything was lit.

Next week I'll show you the actual waterfall.

Our World Tuesday

White Flowers

I took these photos Thursday morning.

Yes, it's been snowing again! (This last photo was taken with my brand-new lens, a 6.5 mm fisheye, providing an incredibly wide angle of view.)
