I hope you enjoyed the pictures from our vacation! Now back to Colorado Springs: on April 3rd, famous artist Ron English was in town to make a film entitled Santa Christ. Basically, anyone and everyone was asked to show up at America the Beautiful park dressed as Santa, and an effigy of Santa was eventually launched into the skies attached to a bunch of helium balloons. I missed the whole thing because I was in Woodland Park doing some family portraits (darn it!). Quite a few of my friends attended and/or participated, though, including the talented Carol Dass. Carol captured this image and donated it to the blog. (Thanks Carol!) I have no idea what the artist's message was, but I suppose like any art it's open to interpretation by the viewer, good or bad.
