We occasionally travel a secondary road on the way to the lake and have been watching the progress of this foal. Amazing how fast it's grown but still very close to the mare.
Thank you for viewing.
Remember, Alice: look before you leap.
A sweet dolly friend gifted me the red/white/black outfit which Cadence Majorette is wearing in this picture (thanks, Nok AB!) It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland, so I’ve used it in a reimagined version of Alice falling down the rabbit hole (portrayed by Song of London Mary) in which her sister falls down with her.
This shot in the Rockies is above Como, CO on the old D, SP & P RR grade on the way up to the Divide after the biggest Boreas Pass reversal in direction back toward the west and above Roberts Cabin. Here you can see the grade! The old grade (Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad - early paper RRs included Pacific in their names) shows a rebuilt tourist section along the original grade as long as the road left the old grade temporarily. Even in Google view, it looks like they scattered cinders for authentication and for effect. I bet the old Mason-Bogie locomotives blasted plenty of cinders on their way up here. First, before heading up the old grade, boogie your way around Como, the panning camps in the valley above (Tarryall Camp) and especially the old RR Hotel if you have not had breakfast! Go empty! They will fill you beyond capacity. Under order.
This shot shows the spot where friends and family dined at a card table up by the rise on the curve before the grade was rebuilt. I have been over the old dirt road recovered from the rail bed several times before. I remember camping outside on the western approach to Boreas when it snowed on me one night years ago. That was the most comfy night I ever spent coved with snow! Look for the old track loop on your way up the east side; it's still there and in the next post. Even in Google view, it looks like they scattered cinders for authentication. It is easily found (even the narrow gauge tracks) on Google maps - Boreas Pass. Stop and snap your own takes of all about you can find! Frankly, friends and family dined at a card table up on the curve before the grade was rebuilt. Ace views there. Boogie your way up there!
Sooner or later, it always comes time to get up and move on. Get your back brushed off before getting in the vehicle. Mine was loaded by then as I got more and more comfortable on my aspen leaf blanket. I needed to be there all August and fall instead of here!
Some of these spots are in the Rockies are best found by looking around. Because of our viscous fall, we have to do that now anyway if we want pictures as many Rocky (and Sierra Nevada) areas are on fire and the skies are the pits, Brad and otherwise. This is another for my return to another autumn series this badly lost fall of cloudless skies of fire haze from that squirrely fake global warming. They fear the Wyo and Colorado Chambers/Poudre fire may eventually merge making a major mess. Will that torch the Old Roach tie hacking area? Massive fires ahoy!
I decided to have some fun with this shot. I took this shot in a down pour last fall when I was out taking fall photos. I kind of like the abstractness of the highway and the colorful trees in the rain.
Thanks for looking and leaving any comments you might have.

This was taken last fall in the river valley. It is one of my favorite places to be in the fall and really any season for that matter. Our spring has been so late getting here this year that we still have no leaves on the trees. Have a great weekend!
Fall is the season for whitetail photography. It's the only time of year you can reliably photo bucks. They get a little reckless when the testosterone rages. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
As we chased the clouds and storm in Snowmass wilderness, we came to this location overlooking a reservoir. I decided to use this bush displaying fall color in the foreground as storm overhead was displaying fantastic colors.

Do you shoot for the stars? As I mentioned earlier I DID NOT sleep on this trip, literally! It seemed that the weather is moving in and out according to our desire and all I had to do is to actually be there and try to capture these beautiful days and nights to the fullest. After capturing the range of light for the lighthouse that evening I left the camera to shoot the star trails just so I can combine them later in post to get this final result. What do you think?
