Pikes Peak adventures

Sometimes this is the view out my front window. In summer, after the leaves come out, most of it is hidden. Sometimes I just have to drive up the Pike's Peak Highway, and look back to where my house is, from the top. https://www.flickr.com/gp/therovingeye/0SEg3t Sign in to see full entry.

Trails, shadows, reflections and more...

On an autumn day some years ago, I took my camera on a ramble through Olympia WA's Watershed Park. The light was golden and low in the afternoon sky, and made sharp shades, illuminated leaves like lanterns. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmcLx1qv Sign in to see full entry.
