Garden of the Gods
I forgot to post pictures from the Garden of the Gods. Before we went to the zoo we stopped at this free park in Colorado Springs. Such amazing rock formations and they are so red. The pops of green all over the place is stunning as well. I asked my brother how many times he had been there and he said something like five. I could never complain because it's free and gorgeous. The lighting probably changes every visit. I was lucky that the sun came out, but the big puffy white clouds stayed to give some great contrast in the photos.

Family Photos
The last couple of days in Colorado were spent relaxing for the most part. Mom did convince me to do some family photos before I left though. Payment was a yummy dinner at Red Lobster for all involved parties. I could do photos for seafood any day :0)
We did two sessions, one of me, mom, my brother Jason and my half brother Adam. The next evening (hours before we left) I did a second session of my mom, her husband Dave and Adam. I'm loving the look and feel of the first photo of those three. Adam has such a rock star, teenager look. Very fitting for his attitude about now.

The teenager rock star look apparently, though I do like the mood of this photo.

The Zoo!
I love zoos. They are so fun to be able to see animals you would never see regularly and it is even more fun when you have a camera with a big zoom. The last time I was at a zoo was almost 3 years ago when I went with my Dad and his wife to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, SC. I didn't have my big 70-300 zoom yet (I think I got it the next week). Now I want to go to more. Hopefully I'll be able to go over to Seattle to go to Woodland Park sometime.
After we got done at Garden of the Gods we drove up to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It is a very unique zoo that is built into the mountain side. You kind of meander your way up the hillside. I'm still loving the zoo in South Carolina though. The nice thing about that one is there are ditches between you and the animals instead of fences, makes for better pictures which is of course all I care about :0)
Here's a sample of some of the pictures I took. Have some fun and make a caption for that silly giraffe and leave it in the comments. Might be fun to see what some other people are thinking when they look a that photo.
