Garden Of The Gods

These made their way to Facebook as well, but thought that I would post these here in case you don’t check your Facebook accounts (Mom and Dad plus lots others).

Headed down to Colorado Springs and the Garden of the Gods for a sunrise photo shoot. I left CR at 515 with clear skies, but by the time I made it down to Monument, the clouds where socked in and I was bummed. Since all of the effort was made to get up early, drive 45 miles, and take a few hours away from home – I decided to hike to the spot anyway and see what happened. After running into a few deer on the hike, I set up and started experimenting since the lighting wasn’t very good. Luckily I played around long enough for a small break in the clouds to present the sun – for about 30 seconds. Thus these keeper photos.
