Look who’s dining out! The largest animals, by far, that I saw on my adventures in #Colorado were not on a trail, but next to a house in a neighborhood that abutted one of the trailheads. While walking to my car after a hike, I saw four #moose (two in pic) chomping on some delicious shrubs and trees next to the house. 🤣 This is a zoomed in photo— definitely kept my distance. #wildlife #nature #photography

I hiked by so many beautiful scenes during my recent trip to #Colorado. Here are pics of some colorful flowering plants that were growing along the trail that I hiked in Red Rocks Park, outside Denver. #BloomScrolling #hiking #mountains

This was my last decent view of the valley in Silverthorne today as I descended on the last hike of my trip to #Colorado. This was a very scenic hike as we hiked partway up a pass along a stream to a series of waterfalls. It’s been a great trip! I’ll post more pics of the trip once I return. 😀⛰️ #FootpathFriday #mountains #nature

Went to the top of a mountain the easy way today—- on horseback! Rode through beautiful forests of aspen and evergreen trees on the way up and back from the summit which was a large open meadow with views of distant mountains. A great day! #Colorado #mountains #horses

Here are some of the beautiful views that I had while hiking to the waterfalls today. Beginning of hike had full view of mountain ridge that I was hiking to, as well as the meadow that contained the stream that flowed from the falls. The falls were near the base of the ridge shown in upper left pic. #Colorado #mountains #hiking

In the spirit of #WaterfallWednesday, I hiked into the mountains outside Vail today to a series of cascading waterfalls! Here is one of the waterfalls (left pic). To take the pic, I needed to scramble down a steep class II/III rock formation (pic on right by Lori H.). A beautiful hike including views of an expansive meadow and mountain ridge. #Colorado #mountains #waterfall

Photo of me taking photo of waterfall in other pic. I am seen at a great distance away at the bottom of a steep rock formation that I scrambled down to take the pic. The waterfall is not in this view, which is why I climbed down to get a full view of the waterfall for the photo on the left.

I took this pic at three miles into Upper Piney Trail.
Hiked up to a ridge outside of Vail today. The meadows (top left) at lower elevations were just as picturesque as the views from the top (top right). With rain clouds moving in and with the sounds of distant thunder, we hurried down the trail (bottom row). Only caught a few drops of rain this time! #Colorado #mountains #hiking

I felt motivated this morning to revisit my photo catalog from Iceland, including re-touching some edits that were lost to an older computer years ago. This is my new spin on an old photo of Kirkjufelfoss from 2019.
