lava cliffs

This picture I took a few summers ago at the Rocky Mountain National Forest in Colorado. They are lava cliffs. They were formed by a violent explosion like 28 million years ago. I really like how the shadow looks. 

flowers in the garden

More flowers! this is from the garden in Colorado :) I love the way the sun is shining on the flowers. I also like the pattern of the fence in the background. This was taken in the summer. 

rocks in a river

This picture is one of my favorites. I absolutely LOVE the rocks in this picture. This was taken in Colorado during the summer, but I don't remember what river it was by. The river had a lot of rapids (?).  I'm not sure what the term is, but I saw white water rafters go by while we were there. On the shore the water was calm and clear. In this picture I was trying to show the contrast. 

clear sky

This is another picture from the Rocky Mountain National Forest in Colorado. I loved how clear the air was up there. This was taken about the middle of the summer. I also love the way the clouds look. They look lower to the ground because we were so high up in the mountains. 

pink flowers

This photo is from a garden in Colorado. It is the most beautiful garden! I actually have lots of pictures from it. The sunlight is my favorite part of this picture. It really makes the flowers look bright with color. This picture was taken in the middle of summer. 

silk effect

This photo I took while on vacation in colorado. This is at the Rocky Mountain National Forest in Colorado. I was trying to get the silk effect on the waterfall.  The silk effect is an effect that makes the water thats falling look like silk. To get it you have to have a long exposure and good lighting. It seems like I still need some practice. Anyways, I really liked the way this photo turned out.
