After breakfast, we took a drive over to the Chautauqua Historic Landmark, a big park with hiking trails into the Flatirons, for a short walk.
View of Boulder from the trail
A BIG dandelion (for you, Carol!)- I wanted to crop it vertically but couldn’t figure out how to in Lightroom!
Here’s my favorite shot- a pro photographer came in with a young couple for a session under the trees. She brought lighting! WOnder if she’s a Clickin Mom. ..
All photos were taken with my 18-200 zoom and edited somewhat clumsily and hurriedly in Lightroom. I’m currently learning the adjustment brush (just discovered there are presets in a drop down menu!) and the gradient thingie.

Beautiful!
Incredible shots. I love the first one with the fence in the foreground and the mountain in the background. Just beautiful. Oh, and thank you for the huge dandelion. Very nice. Excellent story-telling and composition on the last shot. Nice travelogue for Boulder.
