Digital camera, as are all of the Colorado pictures. Not much to say about this picture besides... bull crossing! I leaned up towards the front of the car and took it through the windshield. — September 2000, as are all of the Colorado pictures.

My grandparents intended for my brother and I to feed the chipmunks in a town where they'd taken my cousins (if I remember correctly,) where you'd have to take a sky bucket up to the feeding area. Well, I took a look at those sky buckets and got too nervous about them! (Selective fear of heights - if I don't think I have proper support, I get dizzy) When we were in the Rocky Mountain National Park, however... along the side of the road, on the stone railing, were chipmunks that had gotten quite used to being fed, some of them even climbing into our hands.

I find cows to be rather cute, so I had to take a picture of these. I believe this was taken out the car window.

This deer (what kind, I forget) was walking along the side of the road that leads to the Royal Gorge.

Something else I don't remember is the name of this beautiful old church we stopped at, simply to look at it. I love the Gothic influences in the windows (more obvious in the next picture,) and the combination of brick and stone.

And now we really see those wonderful windows! The older style on the connecting building, though... very nice looking, but I can't remember what style that is!

We drove through an incredible canyon, rock towering all around us! It was very impressive. Too bad the sky got whited out!

I really need to ask my grandpa to provide names of these things... anyways, this was a surprising sight to me, a tree growing up through the stone! I'm not used to being around any stone, so I couldn't say if this is unusual or not.

And now, a series of pictures of Rock Formations, Especially Among Trees, Which I Found Quite Interesting And Nice-Looking.

Below are pictures from Pike's Peak, and let me say... Wow. WOW. Looking out at everything from up there, how small everything is... you can see the curve of the earth. How's THAT for making you feel puny? If you ever get the chance to go there, please do. It was freezing cold to someone used to warm weather, and it took over an hour for the train to reach the top, but there was plenty to look at on the way up (I napped on the way back down,) and of course, plenty to look at up top. Although I would have liked to spend more time just looking before we had to get back on the train, it was too cold for me outside... but they had surprisingly wonderful cappucino indoors!

These final pictures were all taken in the Rocky Mountain National Park.
