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!

The Franciscan Retreat Center


A few things I saw when I was location scouting at the Franciscan Retreat Center a few days ago. I love this place, it's so peaceful. 😊
Random green door that leads somewhere subterranean. I'm itching to know what's behind it.
At least two pergolas like this. They look like bus stops but they can't be, there's no signage to indicate that. I've been to the Franciscan Retreat Center before and these have never made an impression on me until now. It must have been the beautiful fall color.
A tuberculosis hut, because this place started out as a sanatorium, not an abbey. To read more about our city's odd history with tuberculosis, read THIS post from October of 2011.

A beautiful setting. I wonder if the subterranean door might have something to do with the property's original purposes.

I visited a friend there in about 1980 - she had become a novice sister. It is lovely. I need to return! Katie (Maryland)
