Trip to Colorado

Went to see the in-laws in Pagosa springs Colorado recently. Was lucky enough to see the Fall seasonal change in the trees as well as the first snow. They live in a remote and rural area in the mountains at around 7000' elevation. This is part of the view from their porch!

At this point I accidental hit a dial on our SLR camera and all the photos from here are over exposed. A klutzy mistake but the pics are not too ruined to show.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Thanks everyone. It was nice to get out on the road again. The guys guys I was surfing with this morning were talking about all the times and areas of Costa Rica they have experienced. Think it's time I went there for a change!

Thanks for the trip Vince. Reminds me of home in Montana. BTW I have seen these same palms growing there. And, they seem to go right through the winter with no damage. I love the smell of the mountains where the aspens grow.

Great photos Vince. I don't know how I missed this first time around! What lens are you using on your D40?
