Description This was my first hike in Colorado since the move. Though it was an amazing experience, lack of food and the new altitudes of Colorado drained most of my energy on the way up towards the summit. This made the hike back iffy on whether I would make it back before complete darkness. Without much light left in the day, I had to really pick my shots. Despite my quads and calves cramping up for three miles I did manage to finish the hike just before dark.

Thanks so much! I just went to Rocky Mountain National Park and got some fun shots that should turn out pretty good. Hope you get a chance to peek at them!

You have to get there at first light and watch for the Coyotes around Moraine

lol, I told you that you need to come with me for a hike. I'm sure that I'll accidentally go out on some other stupidly difficult one for me. Did you just recently have a birthday?

Man that does sound pretty damn tight. So I suppose you are rocking out on it there huh? Should I start calling you Paul? Paul McCartney?

This is amazing. Something about this shot almost has a fantasy feel. You've got a good eye for great shots.

Thanks Taylor! I wanted to take more shots but I was so nervous I wasn't going to make it back to the truck before dark so I really only took three photos. I'm going to edit the other two over the course of the next two days. I'm really glad you like it.

Well thank you I wish I had more time to put forth to shooting and editing but I have priorities which are bills, work and bills. Oh and finding a job now that I'm new to town.
