Petite Jean State Park

Nature hike or photoshoot? Photo Cred: Abigale Fowler Designs. 

leaf

This picture I took outside during a rainy day. 

ice storm

This might have been one of the most memorable christmas breaks ever. These are pictures from an ice storm that left my house without power for almost 4 days. I did get some good pictures though :) I love how the sun is reflecting off the ice and making the branches brighter. I took these pictures first thing the morning after the storm so some of the snow had not melted. In the first picture I love how you can see the difference between the ice that the sun has reached, and the snow that is still white from the cold. 

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. 

make a wish

My favorite part of this picture is the white. Dandelions remind me so much of playing outside when I was younger. I took this picture last summer.  

fall leaves

This photo was taken at the same park as the one in my last post. It almost looks like the leaves are wrapping around the sunlight. I love the way the sunlights reflects off the leaves. 

sunset

This picture I took a while ago at a park near my house. I love the contrast of the black trees and the sun. It was late in the after noon so the sunset makes the color of the sky really pretty. 

pink rose

I really like the way these pink roses are faded. This was taken in the summer in a garden in Colorado. 

built-up snow

More Snow! This tree is in my grandparents back yard. When it shows the snow builds up on the branches it is so pretty. 

snow

It's December! This picture was taken across the street from my house. I love how the red and the white look. Snow is fun to photograph because it makes the scenery look so pretty. 

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. 

flowers from a greenhouse

I love taking pictures of flowers almost as much as I do bridges :) these were taken at an Amish farm in Wisconsin. They had a greenhouse that was full of blooming flowers. It was really awesome to meet them and get to see their house. 

sunlight

I love taking pictures of the sun! I hope it's not bad for my camera. My favorite part of this picture is the color. I love the glare and the spots of color that the sun creates. I don't remember where I took this picture, but it was some time during the summer. 

rocks on a mountain

This picture I took in Colorado on top of these mountains in Grand Junction. The rocks were actually stacked when we got out there. My brother added another one. The distance in the background might be my favorite part of this photo. We were on top of a cliff that surrounded a valley. So the mountains in the distance are about the same hight as the one we were on. This picture reminds me of how massive theses mountains are, yet they are all made with rocks. God is amazing and I think that he uses creation to teach us things. I feel so safe thinking that I am like a rock in a big mountain that God has created. Although I am small, God has created me to be a part of something that is so great I can hardly imagine it. 

mountainous scene

Another Colorado photo! Colorado is so beautiful. I love the shadows on this mountain. The lines from the clouds and the mountains in the background make this picture one of my favorites. This was taken in the summer. 

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.
