  • In July 2005 we took the opportunity to drive up to Florissant Fossil Beds National Park, near Florissant, CO. <br /> <br /> This cabin is part of the Adeline Hornbek Homestead, one of the attractions of the park.
  • Over the years I would take many more photographs of this little compound, but these were the first.
  • I played with the colors to better show the rain clouds just behind the barn. You can see the rain falling.
  • We walked around the park a bit, and saw . . . <br /> <br /> flowers . . .
  • . . . Prairie Dogs . . .
  • . . . petrified trees . . .
  • . . . details of petrified trees . . .
  • . . . close-up details of petrified trees . . .
  • . . . more details of petrified trees . . .
  • . . . petrified trees with a bug on them . . .
  • . . . interesting flowers . . .
  • . . . my first Indian Paintbrush . . .
  • . . . other flowers . . .
  • When we left we took Gold Camp Road back to Colorado Springs.
  • We saw lots of these kinds of views . . .
  • Actually, this was the only one like this.
  • It made for quite the picturesque setting.
  • More flowers . . .
  • And rocks.
  • This spot offered up a fairly easy climb . . .
