Pulpit Rock Lion Turned Into Art

By Manitou Julia on Saturday, February 18th, 2017 | No Comments

Pulpit Rock White Formation turns into Art. One of the white rock formations on the Pulpit Rock hike haunted me after finishing the hike and downloading the photos. I knew it had to get transformed into one or two of my surrealistic, abstractions images from my nature photos. At first sight, just thought of it […]

Pulpit Rock February 2017

By Manitou Julia on Thursday, February 16th, 2017 | No Comments

It has been a few years since I last hiked the trails at Pulpit Rock. There was absolutely no signage indicating where to turn off of Nevada Avenue or where the trail head actually is located. And the entrance for the parking lot is quite different looking. But we did find it after a couple […]

Hike Along The Platte River Near Deckers 2015

By Manitou Julia on Sunday, July 19th, 2015 | No Comments

Hiking above the Platte River in Deckers Colorado can be a bit adventurous. Some of the trail is very steep and covered with scree. This made them rather challenging to stay on one’s feet and not go slip sliding down the slope. I hadn’t brought a hiking pole, but found a lovely hiking stick to […]

Hiking Fountain Valley for the Third Time

By Manitou Julia on Saturday, July 19th, 2014 | No Comments

On the last day of May, I went for another Stroll in Fountain Valley Park. It was a bit different from the other hikes. It started with a sighting of this very relaxed bunny by the Visitor Center. On the pond behind the Visitor Center there were three turtles sharing a log. In the big […]

Short Walks By a Pond in Colorado Springs

By Manitou Julia on Monday, July 14th, 2014 | No Comments

There was a beautiful Heron that I came upon a few months ago at a pond in Monument Valley Park behind the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center. These photos seemed to have a very Japanese quality to it, ad did a few others I took that day. So I have stopped there many a time […]

My How Time Flies By In The Summertime

By Manitou Julia on Sunday, July 13th, 2014 | No Comments

I am very far behind on postings about hiking, and getting out and hiking. I took a trip the end of June to Young Living Essential Oils Convention in Salt Lake City, then came back and awoke the next morning very feverish and have been working my way back to health, with a little detour […]

Siamese Twin Trail in the Garden of the Gods

By Manitou Julia on Wednesday, May 21st, 2014 | No Comments

When we found ourselves back at the Spring Canyon Parking lot, we still wanted to spend more time hiking. So we headed up the Siamese Twin trail in the Garden of the Gods. I usually hike up from the Northern part of the trail, but since we were at the Southern end, we just started […]

New Favorite Hike in the Garden of the Gods

By Manitou Julia on Tuesday, May 20th, 2014 | No Comments

Last week I had planned on doing a hike heading to the Hot Springs with my hiking friend, but time didn’t allow this. Plus I also am having some trouble with my left knee. And neither of us really felt like taking a long hike. So my hiking friend and I decided to explore a […]

Signs of Spring in Ute Valley Park

By Manitou Julia on Sunday, May 11th, 2014 | No Comments

There were many signs of Spring along the trails in Ute Valley Park. Some more noticeable than others. There were many of these purple flowers and the prickly pear cactus were greening up along some sections of the trail. Ah, cactus are every where we hike. Gotta be careful when stepping off the trail to […]

Incredibly Interesting Rocks and Views at Ute Valley Park

By Manitou Julia on Saturday, May 10th, 2014 | No Comments

I love interesting rocks almost as much as I love driftwood to take photographs of and find faces and creatures within them. This trail had many more interesting rocks and rock formations than driftwood. Not sure why, but it did. There were just a few interesting tree stumps with green accents on this trail in […]
