Colorado National Monument

I have not blogged for an awful long time and I decided that I need to blogg more than I facebook.. the good thing is that I can always copy to facebook what I have blogged!

I have been blessed this year with some amazing experiences: seeing my son become a Marine, a daughter marry to a wonderful guy in the Omaha winter Quarters temple, photographing seniors and weddings, ( and then some),  planning several receptions and traveling the mid west as well as the western of the United States several times in a span of eleven months.  It has all been wonderful.  

I have so much to blogg and post, but I am so excited that I just want to quickly post the images that I took at Colorado National Monument, CO.  

John Otto, the first park custodian back in 1911, said, 
"There is nothing little about Colorado National Monument.  I am sure we will get it to the front some day and all the people of the country will be talking about it, and the travelers of the world will want to come and see it, and none of them will be disappointed."  
A hundred years latter and I was one of those travelers blessed to see this little piece of heaven on earth, and definitely was not disappointed at all.  It is just gorgeous.  Red sands, green trees, rock formations that captures your attention as well as a friendly location to walk the rim of such altitudes. Indeed, it was  a photographers delight!  And there is nothing little about it at all.  I did not see all of the park, I can't imagine what it all entails, but this area was amazing enough for the short time I was sight seeing.

More images and blogging of the past year is still yet to come, in the mean time enjoy the images of the scenery that I viewed while visiting Colorado National Monument en rout from San Diego CA to Omaha NE, September 26, 2011
