Easter Gods
Had to make a quick trip up to the Garden this morn! Im half sorry i didnt stay closer to home, since the trees in Pueblo were much more interesting (wetter snow, better coating). Nevertheless, despite the uncooperative clouds (PP only cleared for a minute or so, while i was driving of course) you can't beat snow in the GOG! Ran into Bob Falcone while slipping and sliding down the ridge, took a few more shots in the central garden. Will post my best shot of the morn at ESS.

Excellent framing and I love the light/atmosphere on the first one Stan. The second one just GLOWS (feel like I am getting bathed in red light here at my monitor :biggrin: , it's glowing so much). Great shots, thanks for posting!

Wow, looking out from here in WP, I never would have thought blue sky was a possible in CS. Also, wasn't aware that GoG received that much snow. We only got about 2-3 inches here.

Really like both images :toast:

The blues and reds in the first photo are just exquisite on my monitor.
What an incredible morning!

Well done, Stan, and a pleasure to meet you up on the hillside.
Hopefully my photos will look as nice yours!

Great job Stan! Love the warmth of the color in the second image, though I might back off the saturation a touch.

Matt, thanks--yeah it can lose a bit sat for sure, didnt look that strong when i was working on it.
