My backyard...more or less. POTD 1-16-07

When I want to get it away from it all...I go here, Garden of the Gods park. I live about 5 minutes away from this place and believe it or not...it's still free to visit. You can just drive through the park, stop and site see, have picnic lunches, rock climb, or hike your favorite trail. I find this place to be so relaxing and awe inspiring. I love nature, so the thought of me getting out and enjoying what God created is the most relaxing thing I can think of doing. If you're an outdoor enthusiast like me, Colorado is the place! These were taken in natural light, ISO 100-200. Ap 8-11.
