Beautiful country up there CJ, you're really getting some good results with the camera and lens. Looks great.

Thanks Bob. I do like the camera, but it will take some getting used to. I wanted to get the K5, but at $498.00 for the 5n with kit lens, it was too good to pass up, especially since it has the same sensor as the K5.

Beautiful images. Thanks for sharing. I haven't spent anytime in the summer in Colorado. And from looking at your photos, I need to!

Hiking in the mountains looks like a photographer's dreamscape! What a gorgeous place you have to hike. Thanks for sharing this magnificent landscape.

Great images Colorado CJ,

Tess, notice those images are taken out west... not out east. Out west, where we should go next.

There's really nothing to see here but mountains, deserts, alpine lakes, ect... You aren't missing much

Yeah, it is pretty hard NOT to take a decent picture around here. I think you could give a monkey a camera and still get great shots

I've hiked thousands of miles up there through the years and I never tire of it. I count myself lucky in that I can leave my house and be at 12,000 ft in a matter of 20 minutes. Don't think I'll live anywhere else.
