Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!


Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

Kodachrome's Got Nothing on Monochrome

This was taken in Cheyenne CaƱon a couple of weeks ago, and it even though the water is clear, the rocks are so brown it just looked kind of "blah" to me. Don't believe Paul Simon when he sings that everything looks worse in black and white. He's full of baloney.

And now, for your listening pleasure...

The crown jewel of downtown, our lovely Pioneers Museum in high summer.

Another Scorcher


As I type this it's 97° F (36° C) outside, even hotter than yesterday. Here's a shot from a much chillier afternoon, November 16, 2014, when the temperature apparently peaked at about 28° F if my online sources are to be trusted. Hopefully this will make us all feel a little cooler. Incidentally, the beautiful woman in this photo is one of the many friends I've made thanks to this blog. Her name is Nicole and she's a former competitive and professional ice skater. After chatting with her before taking her picture we became buddies, and are friends to this day.

August 2026 Theme Day: Purple

The first day of a new month means it's Theme Day for participating City Daily Photo bloggers, and this time the theme is purple. Since I'm sure you've seen enough purple flowers on this blog (ha!), I decided to find another subject for the theme. For as long as I can remember, this liquor store on Fillmore Street has been purple, although it seems to have faded to more of a pastel lavender in recent years.

For more depictions of purple by CDP bloggers everywhere, click HERE. Enjoy!

Meh.

A meh picture of a pretty subject. Consider this a test shot while I was on a shoot in Palmer Park a couple of weekends ago. By the way, about sixty seconds after I took this, a cactus spine pierced my shoe and embedded itself in my big toe! Fun times.

More of the Same

Just another view of Helen Hunt Falls, maybe a little more arty farty than the one I posted yesterday.

Despite the Drought, Helen Hunt Falls Doesn't Look Too Pathetic

Since I was at the Broadmoor last week I popped over to Helen Hunt Falls for a peek. We're enduring a terrible drought this year and I had low expectations. I thought it would be a mere trickle of water, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the falls still look reasonably good, all things considered.
