NEW PHOTOS

These were taken recently a place near Woodland Colorado called Farish Recreation Area. It is an area with small lakes for fishing and is restricted to active, retired military, reserve military and their guests. There is a fee to get in.  My friend Bill has been there to fish in the past and said it is a beautiful place and maybe I would like to get some photos.  These shots are views of Grace Lake.  

My apologies! Due to the Covid pandemic, my heart has not been into blogging. If you are a new visitor to this website, I encourage you to review my past entries. There is a lot of useful information for those who love photography. I will be adding more from now on!

 

My Most Liked Photo on Facebook So Far

On my business website, Michael Bluhm Photography, mbluhmfotos. com, I have hundreds of photos but one in particular was posted on a Facebook group, Now THAT'S Colorado! To date it seems to be the most popular image I've posted to that group. I'm not sure how much visibility this website gets, but here is that photo. It's Alta Lakes Campground near Telluride, Colorado. The large trees in the center are actually on an island.

MY CHRISTMAS CARD

This is the Christmas card that I mailed out this year. It was taken at Middle Shooks Run Park, named after the creek that flows through it. We have a lot of parks, big and small in Colorado Springs and this is one I usually walk through on a daily basis, weather permitting.
