For those of you who may not know, Ryan and I moved to Golden, Colorado this past November from the Chicago area. We absolutely love it here and it is the perfect city for our transition. It has a great downtown with a creek at the heart of of it and there is so much to do – from outdoor activities to shopping & dining. Not only that, but it has an authentic western small-town feel that is completely irresistible. And the location is perfect – we have easy access to the city and direct access to the mountains since we live right along the Front Range of the magnificent Rockies.

Since we’re outdoor enthusiasts and photographers, we can’t resist getting some “fine-art” nature shots on our walks around town and in the foothills – even if it’s just with our little Canon point-and-shoot. We admit we have an obsession with documenting everything, so you can imagine the amount of photos we’ve already taken now that we live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S., if not the world (I believe I estimated our average to be 12 a day…in only four months time).

And I’d like to give you a glimpse into our life here and join us in our obsession. It’s a bit drier where we are so sometimes it’s not the most beautiful in panorama, but we love the variety in the details – rocks, plant life, etc. By capturing those tiny details, it allows us to see our hikes and nature in a totally different way.

So enjoy our nature walk on Chimney Gulch Trail!

Makes spring even more appealing, doesn’t it? Bring on the warmth and new growth!
