Colorado Oddities: Shep the Broomfield Turnpike Dog

I haven’t done much this whole summer. Between work and moving and all… no time for summer fun! But… I’ve explored some stuff around my new place.

Wesley Walk Writeup

As a busy dog mom it’s not every day that I get to take my baby to the off-leash park. That being said, I do my best and take him quite often. He loves it!

Prairie dogs with a dog

Yeah. I tried to take some pictures of these prairie dogs while on a walk with my “actual” dog.

CO-470 adventures

I did a thing a few months ago… I hiked from my place in Littleton, CO to Highlands Ranch.

Curecanti NRA in the books

Though I would love to go back and explore more of the area.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison

Today I’m taking you to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Some say they find it more impressive than the Grand Canyon.

Western Slope adventures

I’ll have to post a map of the itinerary at the bottom of this post to show you guys what the adventures entailed. Such a fun trip!

I’ve been flaky ;)

I haven’t been posting much lately, but I’m thinking I can remedy this flakiness with some… snow flakes.

Are you a snowflake?

I tried my hand at taking some macro photographs of snowflakes yesterday.

Cloud 500

Sometimes I like to take semi-abstract shots. I thought the sky would be a good subject the other day.

Southern Colorado love

A few months ago we explored a bit of Southern Colorado and went to the dunes.

Eastern Colorado: Sand Creek Massacre

Again, Eastern Colorado is not exactly bustling, but there sure is a lot of history attached to the area.

Eastern Colorado: Bent’s Old Fort

As you might expect, there is really not much going on in Eastern Colorado, but you also know I sort of obsess over National Park Service spots… so a visit was in order.

Rocky Mountain National Park day trip

I’m glad we were able to squeeze in and visit the Rocky Mountain National Park before the winter closure.

Paint Mines: nature paints better than me

Well. That’s not exactly hard, but that place is absolutely fabulous!
