Last September, Andy and I spent a morning watching the sunrise at Maroon Bells. For those of you unfamiliar with the area, Maroon Bells are some mountains near Aspen, CO. There is a lake near the trail head of the area and it offers one of the most stunning views in Colorado. The peaks themselves are quite treacherous and people are warned from going on them (bad for both rock and mountain climbing). Their beauty, however, is unsurpassed. Literally hundreds of photographers were there by the time we arrived at 6:20 am. What happened over the next 3 hours was stunning. Which view is your favorite? Isn't it fascinating how the light changed? I hope you enjoy the pictures! Click on an image to enlarge. After the sunrise was complete, we walked around the area and found another lake and more incredible views!
The school year is finally winding down in Boulder and I'm finally catching up on stuff. Today is also a special day because 25 years ago Andy and I were married! Wow, how time flies and how this spring is flying by, too. This blog post doesn't really have a theme, just lost of cool pictures that I've taken over the past couple of weeks. I hope you enjoy them! I start out with a couple of images from the Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Spring is baby season! (Click on images to enlarge). Next up are hummingbirds -- they are now back and hungry! We got some late snow this year and I got up early to take a picture of the Flatirons in the snow. Little did I know that I would see a fox streaking by with a vole. I think her babies were anxiously waiting for breakfast. Last weekend Andy and I went up into the mountains and we saw some bighorn sheep and met some very well fed ground squirrels... Then, yesterday I spied on the family of owls that I've been watching this spring. I couldn't find the owlets but did spy on the mother keeping tabs on the area.
