sunset swim

right after my daughter’s communion, i flew to colorado springs for work.  behind our hotel was a lake with the mountains behind it and ducks and geese everywhere.  i used my lensbaby lens (sweet 35) to capture this moment as some geese swam by…i love the calming feel!

mmmmm…cookies!

one of the benefits (or diet downfalls) of hotel living is the freshly baked cookies they put out each night at the front desk! i’m happy to report that i did not eat this last one…i am unhappy to report that i may or may not have eaten all of the other cookies to get down to one on the plate!

warriors

i was fortunate enough to witness the warrior games basketball gold medal game between the army and the marines. this moment just called to me! these men were absolutely amazing to watch! what a phenomenal game and phenomenal people involved with the warrior games! plus, i’m happy to report that army beat the hell out of the marines!

breakthrough

there is just something about the clouds in the colorado sky…i don’t know what it is, but i absolutely loved watching them while i was in town. i suppose it is entirely true to say that my head was in the clouds for a good portion of my time there!

calling me

after a long (but gratifying) week at work and a night out with friends, my bed was calling to me!

reaching

i went on a hike through one of the valleys in the colorado springs area with some friends from the past. even though my friend tried to kill me by taking the path less traveled (pretty much down the side of a mountain), my camera and i both survived! and i got this picture of this awesome tree…while it looks creepy, it really wasn’t- just felt like that was the direction i needed to take when editing!

reflections of a night sky

visited the lake behind my hotel again to look for inspiration.  i continued to play with my lensbaby, but i took it a step further and played with an out of focus image.  i love the lights, the color, and how it is somewhat symmetrical (appeals to the libra in me)!
