Ghost Ranch, New Mexico

On the trip back home I decided to take Highway 84 north and a little west to Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch. You can see why Georgia O'Keeffe loved the place so much - it's isolated and filled with all sorts of unusual colors.

Lions at the Denver Zoo

Today I visited Denver's zoo and took a few pictures of the Lions. The first two were taken inside the lion house looking out through the window. If you look close you can see a bit of glare from the window, which is why the photographs have a slightly soft look.
