Landscapes

Although we haven't been able to explore too many places, we did go on a hike that overlooked the beautiful Dillon lake. We live below the dam at one end of the lake.


That being said, sometimes I don't need to go further than our backyard - or back porch - to see a beautiful landscape. Here is our view at sunset looking out at the Dillon dam, with Keystone peeking out in the distance.

On a wall

After some quick printing and framing, I have finally made it up on a wall in a gallery in nearby Frisco, CO. The gallery shows artists from Colorado, mostly local. The variety of work - from paintings to digital photos to jewelry - attracted me at first. I took the chance to put something up right away, and couldn't be happier.


BBQ

Fun music, scrumptious food and racing piggies made up this weekend's barbeque fest in Frisco...

Row, row, row your boat...

The Marina in Frisco is full of photo ops, from dogs playing fetch in the grass to bikers riding by to boaters sailing on the water. The colorful boats caught my attention as always, and the sailboats mirrored the white-topped mountains in the background.


The Fun Bunch

Thursday nights are fun with the Fun Bunch, one of the teams that participates in a softball tournament in Summit County. Last night I remembered to bring my camera so I could play around. The sun was setting right in front of the batters, so instead of trying to work around the sun, I tried shooting straight in to it. I ended up liking the photos with lens flare and sun rays the most, and I even captured an odd couple watching the game - man's best friend turned softball's biggest fan!
