***Colorado Springs***

Day One: Arrival Day / Let's Go For A Hike
I love this flower! This was the first plant on our hike in Colorado Springs. The buds look like stars. How very cool! It was as if Colorado Springs was welcoming the Fisher family from Texas!

Well hello there gorgeous flora! Let's play with light!

 
The Daddy Long Leg stopped to pose as well :-) I LOVE macro!
 
This Daddy JUST wanted to hike however, our daughters were literally pausing every step to take a photograph.
 
Back hiking.
 
Well.... that did not last long! My eldest stops again to direct!
 
We stayed at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. It was absolutely beautiful and relaxing!

LOVE this macro image of this bee. The wings are what I love! Shot with a canon 100mm lens.

 




Day Two: The Zoo
 
View from the top of the Cheyenne zoo.
 
You could feed and touch the giraffes. By far the best zoo we have ever been to!
 
This Sloth was hanging out in a tree over a walkway. No cage. We had never seen a sloth before in person. Such a highlight!
 
The meerkats are always a favorite! They are such cute little posers!

Back to the sloth. Patiently waiting for it to poke its face out.
 
It did! For ONE shot!
 
Now back to the meerkats.
 
 The wallabies were in an enclosed area however you could walk right up to them.

How about a family portrait with the focus only on the baby? ;-)
 
This proud new daddy gazes lovingly at his wife and baby!
 
Hello baby Orangutan! We LOVE you! What an amazing sight to see! Welcome to the world sweet baby!
