Rocky Mountain National Park — September 6, 2009
It’s the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. We’re expecting there to be quite a lot of people on the trails today, so we pick one that, hopefully won’t be so crowded that we’ll be unable to get a parking lot. While there are shuttle buses for hikers, we’d prefer to be able to park and hike.
We get to the trail-head and the parking lot is full — no room for even a small car like ours. Fortunately, there’s another small parking back up the road a little ways and there was an empty spot there when we went past. Hopefully, no one has slipped into it — good, it’s still open.
Here’s a few photos from the hike:

Chipmunk? What’s that? A new friend for me to play with.
How beautiful! I love the shot of the falls.
Great shots Mike – that pic with the clouds looks creepy.

Rose and Mya – Thanks
Cath – Thanks. That picture wasn’t planned. It’s one of those serendipity things.
Oh, such beautiful photos! You will have to do a post sometime about your photography. What I mean is I would be interested in knowing if this comes natural for you or if you had training or how you came about taking such great pictures in general. I bet your other readers would be interested as well. Because we sure do enjoy the photos over here!

teeni – I did a lot of teaching myself photography in the 80s — and then I took 2 semesters of college level photography.
