Grilling Flicker in the Garden

It isn’t a recipe. The Bird was doing the grilling, or hiding, or something in the grill. He winked his grey eyelid at me and I caught it in mid wink. Then he flew away. Image from a morning walk through a picnic area in the Garden of the Gods.

  

For another large rock from the Garden, click the thumbnail below. I don’t recall the name. I’m more interested in the direction of the sunlight on them than the names given to the rocks. This one’s huge and close to the road, you won’t have to look for it if you visit the Garden.

Click on the thumbnail above for my early morning view of Pikes Peak from the Garden of the Gods.  I was there at dawn, but the mountian was hidden by clouds. I captured this image as the clouds began to lift after sunrise.

This is my first post on wordpress. I’ve imported all my previous blogger posts and plan to you use wordpress for future posts. I like the static pages available on the wordpress blogs and may eventually combine my website and blog. Sorry for the confusion, if any. Please update your links and feeds, but know that this may be a temporary change of address. After I get my hosting issues sorted out, the website and blog should be at one address.

In the Garden of the Gods

A few days in the Colorado Springs area gave me the opportunity to photograph something different. Garden of the Gods is a free city park uplifted 25 million years ago and eroded to the present beautiful formations. I’d been there before, but never had time to explore all the trails and walkways.

Scouting the park for shooting locations the first day and returning a few times during my short stay enabled me to capture several images. I arrived before dawn to capture an image with Pikes Peak in the background only to find the mountain hidden by clouds until well after sunrise. It’s only a 2 hour drive from home, so I’ll be returning and perhaps get that image I wanted.
