Fal River Road

Here is a classic glacier carved valley looking East back toward Estes Park. It was taken from the Fall River Road in the Rocky Mountain National Park. 

Estes Elk

Here are a few of the many Estes Park Elk. They're like squirrels in that it is pretty easy to find some most days. They've been known to wander into the town of Este's Park and plan them selves in the center of town. They are wonderful to watch nonetheless. 

Aspens and Lupines

Aspens and Lupins from the Fern Valley section of Rocky Mountain National Park. Taken in June of 2009.

Eaten Alive

 

Literally being eaten alive by the Elk overpopulation at RMNP.  This winter many of the Aspen are behind 8 foot tall fences to protect them from being 'Eaten Alive'. 

What the Rooms are like: Stanley Hotel

 

A typical guest room.

A Visit to the Stanley Hotel

I had actually wanted to post on our trip to the Breckenridge Snow Sculpture Contest, but my husband has been to busy to work on his photos.

So let's give him some time and look at our visit to the Stanley Hotel in October 2009.  The Stanley was the inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining.........

 

In case you hadn't notice, I enjoy nighttime photography and B&W. 

For more photos at the Stanley check over the next couple of days, or to see them all now when you
