Colorado vacation

Once again, I've been bad about blogging. Here are a few favorites from a recent trip to Colorado. The top two are from Rocky Mountain National Park which celebrated it's 100th year as a national park this year. The bottom one is from Great Sand Dunes National Park which is a much younger park but completely spectacular in it's own way.

From one vacation to another. I've been so bad about blogging for so long that I have a big backlog of photos that could be blog-worthy. Here are a couple bighorn sheep photos from last summer's vacation to the Black Hills and Badlands in South Dakota. 

Western South Dakota is one of my favorite places in the world.

We walked on the pier every night we were there. It is the second longest pier on the eastern seaboard.

Dolphins

To some extent, everyone gets a little desensitized to their surroundings. So, as a midwesterner, I can't imagine just how cool it would be to be able to sit out on your porch and watch dolphins feeding on fish in the salt marsh.

Sunrise

Here is another attempt at shooting a more or less sunless sunrise on the South Carolina coast. I'm pretty happy with this one.

I think these are called sea oats.

Angel Oak

While in South Carolina, we visited the Angel Oak tree. One place said the tree was about 500 years old. Another said it was about 1500 years old. I don't know which is right, but I do know that it is spectacular.
