Pulpit Rock Lion Turned Into Art

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

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 […]

Been Down A Rabbit Hole

I’ve Been Down a Rabbit Hole of Creativity for the Last Year. So one of the main reasons I haven’t been focused on writing about my hikes is, I had fallen down a “rabbit hole’ of being creative with my Nature Photos. This is an example of what I have been doing that came from […]

Hiking Journaling Starts Again

Time to share more hikes and how they revive my spirit. So I haven’t stopped hiking, I just got away from posting them here. But plan on writing about current and past hikes starting NOW! Just two days ago it was frosty and very cold. Then it was 60 degrees today and I just couldn’t […]

Hiking Fountain Valley for the Third Time

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 […]

Vibrant Water Colors in Williams Canyon Above Manitou Springs

The water in the creek seemed to be more colorful than I remembered. And so did the rocks. The colors must be created by new minerals unearthed and carried down from above. I need to go back and look at some of my past photos from hiking in Williams Canyon, but that is probably something […]

Rusty and Wooden Items Along the Trail at Fountain Creek Nature Trail

I am always intrigued by rusty items I find on trails. This trail had some very wonderful rusty things, including some that were still in use. There were many valve wheels that were related to what I believe was an irrigation ditch that was on one side of the trail. I have no idea what […]

Reflections Upon Fountain Valley Nature Center Trail

I actually hiked the same trails twice in a week. I had never been to the Fountain Creek Nature Center and the trails that go into the wetlands and also wind along Fountain Creek in Fountain, Colorado. The first time on Saturday was just a “stroll” with the Deja Vu Singles group. That was fun […]

These Colorful Rock Formations Look Like What?

As always, I got lost in taking pictures at the Calhan Paint Mines and my hiking partner passed me by. So did another hiker. As I came around the bend I heard my hiking partner laughing with this gentleman hiker. She had thought I was right behind her and had pointed to a rock exclaiming, […]
