Have you Hoodoo'd today?


Another hidden treasure in Colorado Springs is the hoodoos found in Palmer Park. The soft stone has been carved over the centuries into formations.
A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland.
Hoodoos consist of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects each column from the elements.

The Puppy Face


While visiting my friend Tara in Colorado Springs, she took me to Red Rocks Canyon. This area is south of the Garden of the Gods. (Most tourists hit Garden of the Gods.)
Red Rocks Canyon has trails, picturesque views, and is used by the local folks.
Obviously, I found another face. I'm not sure if someone helped this face develop, or if it is truly natural.
If you are ever in Colorado Springs, please take the time to find this little gem.

Cheyenne Canyon

During a recent trip to Colorado Springs, CO I was treated to a trip to Cheyenne Canyon. I converted this photo to black and white.

I have recently started finding "faces". Can you find the face in this photo?
