This was a lucky shot. So many times I’ve been a second too late. What’s the luckiest shot you’ve ever taken? (Keeping with the bird theme, swipe to see a visitor on our roof, and my favorite bird shot of all. It makes me laugh every time.

One of my favorite photos from Garden of the Gods, with its signature red rock formations, Pikes Peak, and the Manitou Incline (which we’ve done three times) on the right.

I know this sounds weird, but whenever I’m on a plane, I always look for my mom’s face in the clouds. I have yet to see her but I’m pretty sure she was in this welcome home sunset a couple of weeks ago. It felt like it was an extra special one over my beloved Rockies.
