Of course I wanted to take pictures of Pikes Peak while I was back in Colorado, it’s the ‘face’ of the Colorado Springs area. But my sister-in-law informed me that there is an iconic Pikes Peak image. You see it in all weather, used in all kinds of applications. It’s the ‘kissing camels’ displayed against Pikes Peak. You see the kissing camels in the feature photo. A close up because they are so small against the overall scenery I was looking at. What a beautiful place Colorado Springs is. I visited here many times when my kids were little, bringing them to visit their grandparents, but not so much sight seeing. I enjoyed all my visits here, the family was very dear to me, and I enjoyed this visit all these years later.
In the foreground is the Garden of the Gods. It’s possible to walk in closer among the rock formations but yesterday we moved on to a hike instead. We covered a lot of ground, with me huffing and puffing all the way…
