Pictures from Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak and Estes Park in the fall
Top of Pikes Peak (elevation of 14,200 ft) can be reached by taking the cog-railway from the town of Manitou Springs. In just over an hour, you will be on top of the mountain, but be careful as the air is thinner up there!!
Town of Estes Park is at the foot of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Every fall during the rut (mating season) herd of elks roam everywhere. They can cause major traffic jam in the town.

One late afternoon, we had a visitor in our backyard, atop a crabapple tree in full bloom.
It was a Great-Horned Owl, a native of our Rocky Mountain region.
Then, we found the owl's nest in a nearby open-space area. Can you see the little yellowish fur-ball at the foot of the owl?
The yellowish fur-ball turned out to be babies. Several week later, two baby owls showed themselves.

One morning, we found a Bald Eagle atop a tree in the open space.
Bald Eagle is the National Bird of the USA. Awesome!
Another morning, we heard a knocking in the yard. It was a woodpecker.
No, it's not a dog. It's a Coyote walking on frozen pond.
