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!

Flintstonian

As you approach Cripple Creek on Highway 67 from the east, you'll  pass these odd figures. Most of them are clearly related to the old cartoon The Flintstones, dinosaurs and all, although there is also a Statue of Liberty and what looks maybe Santa Claus. Or possibly a yeti. (?) At any rate, I don't think I've ever bothered to stop my car and take pictures until now, although they've been there for years. They do sit on private property so I had to stand outside the fence to get these shots. To me, the Flintstones figures qualify as folk art I'd love to know who created them -- I've always found them charming!
