Pike’s Peak

I grew up along the East Coast, but Colorado has become my home. I have never loved any place I lived this much, not even Connecticut or my sweet college town in the Appalachians. The 14er that looms over this town is breathtaking, powerful. I see it out my window when I wake up in the morning. It is a reminder of the power of nature and the awesomeness of God.

I took this photo out on the prairie.

Pike’s Peak

Today my wonderful family and I drove to the top of Pike’s Peak, a 14er in our town, Colorado Springs. The views were breathtaking. We stopped at a couple of pull offs and got some really pretty shots, and we spent a little time at the shore of the reservoir.

Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures at the top because there was no view. There was thick cloud cover at the top. But I got some other pictures of the family and a couple of other nice ones looking down from various points on the drive.
