I had a few precious minutes of down time on Thursday, so I grabbed the dog and went for a drive through the Garden of the Gods. I haven't been there in a while, which is a pity because I used to go at least once a month. Lately, though, it's just become too crowded thanks to explosive population growth in the region. I figured that on a random Thursday at the end of October it might be a little bit empty, though. One can hope. Alas, there were quite a few people about. Possibly it might have had something to do with the fact that the normally elusive resident bighorn sheep herd was making its presence known -- news of that travels fast, and indeed there were lots of folks gathered around that general area of the park, trying to get pictures of the majestic animals with their cell phones. (I drove on by.) Farther in, I parked my car just to grab a shot of Kissing Camels, and as you can see in the photo below, I wasn't the only person there. Ultimately I ended up at the High Point, and there I found a modicum of solitude with only a couple of other people about. As always, I tend to visit the park more during the cold months to avoid the crowds, so hopefully I'll have a less grumpy experience next time, as winter wears on.

I was in Sondermann Park last weekend for the purpose of taking some family portraits. We couldn't have asked for a prettier fall day! I snapped this on the way out before jumping in my car and heading home. Today has been cold and snowy, but I have to say with all my recent portrait sessions and weddings over the last few weeks I've had the very best of mild and sunny fall weather. Lucky me! We'll see how I do this weekend. I hope this cold front is long gone by then because once again I'll be shooting outdoors.

Surely it's not just me that thinks Colorado Springs is extra wonderful in fall. I can't remember what street this is (Farragut? Sheridan? Foote?) but I do know it's looking south toward Boulder Park. This is such a cute neighborhood and it's even cuter right now, with all the trees in full color.

Sunday Style! (Halloween Edition)
Thought I'd feature my friend JB this week, since she really dressed for the occasion when we went to Evergreen Cemetery to watch the Frankenstein production (HERE, if you're curious). She made that cool cape herself, isn't it awesome?

Halloween on N Tejon Street (Part 2)
Here are the rest of my images from N. Tejon Street a few days ago. As Count Floyd would say, "Ooooo scary scary!" Which house is your favorite?
