engagement surprise

This past weekend we went back and took some pictures of us and Franklin Maverick Felix Fantastico at the same place that I proposed to Sara in Colorado Springs.  More to come, but thought I would share this one... kind of fun.  Same spot and same pose as that day back in 2005.

It was sad to leave this and come back to TX... 

On top of the world

From Photostream

Or close to it. Top of Mt. Lincoln - 14,286 feet.

Mt. Democrat - 14,000 feet

From Photostream

Here is a panoramic shot from the top of Mt. Democrat. I like these shots, but am not sure the pay off for the time it takes to make them is really worth it. they are so small on a computer screen that much of the detail is lost. This one is huge, just like the last one. Before compressing the image size (and file, for that matter), this one was about 530 inches wide. Maybe it would be a cool poster....

Again you will probably need to click on the pic to get it bigger, if you so desire.

Kite Lake all around

From Photostream

I am not sure I am really happy with the results, but I spent a good chunk of time putting this one together, so I might as well put it up. Displaying this one is a bit hard as the original is a shy over 150 inches wide... so bigger screens will fare better and you may need to click on the picture in order to see it bigger.

This is a 360 deg. view from the Kite Lake campground.  You can see the same Jeep on both the right and left sides of the pic.  The sky looks a lot less cool when forced to be so small in this pic.  You can also see the brother real small smack dab in the middle.  Nothing like frisbee at 12,000 feet.

Oh yeah, happy 4th!

Stormy Skies

From Photostream

Here is a shot from Kite Lake, were the brother and I camped before hiking the 14ers this past Monday. There was a storm rolling in that went just on the other side of the valley we were in. It made for a crazy sunset...
