Becky Elder Keeps the Carnivale Parade Characters In Line

Every Parade needs someone to keep it moving, but not have the participants not on top of each other. Becky has done this for many years.

The Day After Manitou Springs Carnivale 2014

I hiked to Manitou Springs Memorial Park, then back up to Soda Springs Park, taking photos of the parade in three different locations. Then hiked back to go dancing at the Townhouse and the Keg.

Icy Intermann Trail with Friends on a Sunny Day

Quick Walk with My Greek Friend

The sun was out, after a brief wild windy and snowy weather moment today. First thing in the morning, I had been taking photos of my masks for my ETSY FantaFaces site on my outdoor photo studio area. I had just gotten everything inside when I heard this howling wind start. I turned around and […]
