Colorado Trip

In September we drove to Colorado for USDAA Nation Dog Agility Championship. We spent five days in Denver and then a second week traveling western CO taking Fall photos. We missed the peak of the fall colors by a week or two but we still got some wonderful photos and had a great time!

 This photos photo is from Oxbow bend in the Grand Tetons. The misty look is from smoke from all the forest fires that were burning in the area. Photos By JP: Colorado Trip - 2012

This is the classic shot of the Molton barn on Mormon row. Didn't have the best weather but I did what I could. Photos By JP: Colorado Trip - 2012

After the weather didn't cooperate for the Molton Barn, I turned around and took some colorful photos of the sun rising. Photos By JP: Colorado Trip - 2012

At the USDAA Nationals, they also had a Splash Dogs competition where dogs try to jump as far as possible while jumping into water. Very fun to watch! Photos By JP: Colorado Trip - 2012 &emdash;

I wanted a star trails photo in one of the arches but the clouds ruined that so I tried to get a cool night shot with the clouds. Photos By JP: Colorado Trip 2012 - part 2 &emdash;
