Colorado Springs, Colorado
My last day, I spent mainly in the Colorado Springs area, so I could make it to the airport on time. I started off at what is called the "Garden of the gods." Below are "Balanced Rock" and the "Kissing Camels" formations.

Seven Falls was my next stop. All the water (first photo) comes from the little stream below that? Maybe some gets added to the mix from the pools at the bottom of the falls.

After the Falls, I made my way to the Cheyenne Zoo. Their newest arrival was a baby giraffe.

Finally, a couple of shots of flowers I saw in the area. The bottom one is cholla cactus.
