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!

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.

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.

Sunday Style!

I took this picture a few months ago while waiting in a line at a convenience store. The man ahead of me in the queue was sporting this flashy wristwatch so naturally I asked him for a photo. He told me that he had bought it in Hawaii, which explains the abalone. That's quite a watch! It may be a bit much for most guys, but it looked perfect on him.

The Ugly Duckling

Spotted in the lake at the Broadmoor a couple of days ago: a duck's bottom! Or is it? As you know, the fabled "duckling" in the story turned out to be a beautiful swan, just like this guy.
