Rocky Mountain National Park: St. Vrain Creek

This is St. Vrain Creek just below Copeland Falls. Rapids, rocks, rushing water. Yeah, this is a photograper’s dream.

Rocky Mountain National Park: Fallen Tree

This is the rest of the tree from Monday. I just found it very interesting looking.

Rocky Mountain National Park: Worm Trails in a Tree

On Saturday, we took a drive to Denver to visit the Strannahan’s Distillery. And though they make a drinkable whiskey, I didn’t feel the need to photograph it. I saved the camera for afterward as there was another entrance to the park that we were going to drive by. This one promised waterfalls. After a short hile to see the smallish Copeland Falls, we stopped to sit on a log. 

Needless to say, I found the log very interesting. Here is a close up of the insect trails.

Estes Park, Colorado: Big Thompson Canyon

While we were visiting Estes Park, we stayed in a lovely cabin in Big Thompson Canyon. It had a private hot tub, a kitchen, lots of comfy chairs and a river running behind it. This is the river running behind the cabin. The Big Thompson River isn’t very big right now, but I’m guessing it might be when it isn’t autumn and dry.

Estes Park, Colorado: Young Male Elk Walking

He’s pretty much gone past me now. He followed the shoreline, I stayed away well back on the shore. After he went up the trail I had come down, I followed and got the hell out of there.
