As the sun graced the mountain chapel with its golden touch at dawn, every ray whispered a silent prayer, illuminating the sacred silence of nature's cathedral.
Likely the most photographed mountain chapel (St Catherine of Siena, aka Chapel on the Rock, Allenspark) in the state, but sometimes the lighting and conditions are just too good to pass up. Click on each for a better view. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!!

Perched upon the hillside, a bobcat's solitary silhouette graces the snow-covered canvas, a majestic guardian of the winter realm.

Always fun to come across this elusive creature and even better when he's not bothered in the least by my presence. When I posted this image a few others on FB a week or two ago, it sparked a lot of debate about whether this was a bobcat or lynx. I am quite familiar with both and rest assured, this is just a large bobcat. While the tail is not visible in this particular image, here's how I could tell: One of the tell tale signs of the difference is the tail. The tail of a bobcat is white on the underside with a black spot on the top and stripes on the tail. The lynx tail looks like it was dipped in black ink. I do have an image of this guy's tail, and it is most definitely a bobcat.

Have a great weekend!
