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!

Random cowboy


This life-sized cowboy statue stands in front of the Norris-Penrose Event Center, near Bear Creek Park. Norris-Penrose hosts large outdoor events like rodeos and monster truck rallies. I went there for Oktoberfest one year. That was fun (what I can remember of it, ha). It's also known as an equestrian center. While we were there taking these pictures, a rider was working her horse over some jumps in the ring west of the main building.

Hank the cowboy


This statue at the intersection of Pikes Peak and Tejon depicts Hank, the official trademark of the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo.  Hank's been in place there since 1997 or so. He makes a great landmark!

The Norris-Penrose Event Center


Sure, the Penrose Equestrian Center looks quiet at the moment, but don't let that fool you. It will be teeming with people and beasts when the 70th annual Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo kicks off! If you're a rodeo fan (full disclosure: I'm not), this is the place to be from July 14th through 17th. Giddyup!
