Today's image is another from my bike ride through the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs Colorado. This rock formation is called Balanced Rock for pretty obvious reasons. 😁 It's a popular spot for people doing selfies and such but I got pretty lucky for a few seconds and was able to capture it quickly without anyone in the image.
It's Friday TGIF! Today's image is one of my favorite grasses. This is Sea Oats Grass which I find very photogenic, especially when backlit. I liked the bokeh in this image so sharing it for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious here on the Blog!
I feel for a butterfly today, haven't shared one in a while. I am looking forward to seeing them around again, hopefully fairly soon. This is a Cabbage White that was visiting my Buddleia that I was able to capture this past September.
It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! This is one of my favorites, Wild Columbine. They usually bloom in April and May so not too long now till I can see again. The flowers are relatively small compared to the varieties found elsewhere, such as Colorado where Columbine is the state flower. It is also known as Red Columbine.
Today's bird image is of one that I hope to get to see again this spring. I will have to be sure i carry my camera with me more often. This is a Cedar Waxwing that I was actually able to capture later in the year on a rare sighting. There were several sitting in the Walnut tree in the backyard. I love their masks of dark color over their eyes.
Happy Monday and happy new week! Today's image is one of my favorite flowers. I find them very photogenic, especially the centers of them. They grow as a wildflower as well but it is generally the pink variety.
It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! Today's image once again comes from the Colorado Railroad Museum near Golden Colorado. This is locomotive 318 is a 2-8-0 Consolidation type. It was Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1896. It began it's career on the Florence and Cripple Creek RR. The Rio Grande bought it in 1917 and used it on various lines until it's retirement in 1954. A Cornelius Hauck purchased it and moved it to the CO RR Museum where it operated on the grounds until 1982. It was then put on static display where it remains today.
