Poudre Vally Canyon-After the Rain- Moose and Buck Sighting

{Joining SkyWatch - Click on over to see more beautiful skies}

Peaceful.

Smokey Haze. [We actually thought it was smoke, but it turned out to be clouds].

Young Buck.

More Clouds.

Fisherman's Cove.

Raindrops.

Magnificent Mountains.

And thanks to a tip from Arrowhead Visitor Center, we got to see a couple Moose.  This one even took a break from his lunch to pose for the camera.

Poudre Vally Canyon- Arrow Head Lodge Visitor Center

Poudre Valley Canyon is a Beautiful Daytrip to take from Denver. 

We stopped at Arrowhead Lodge Visitor Center, and were delighted at the wealth of information they had to offer.

We enjoyed seeing their humming birds.

If you squint you can see a bald eagle nesting at the top of the tree in the middle of the photo.

Poudre Valley Falls.

Following the Rain.

Mountain Streams.

Poudre Valley River-Wading

Poudre Valley River Canyon is the perfect place to take an afternoon drive. Hiking is great, but when I can take it all in from the front seat of my car. Even better!

We found a great place to get out and play in the water.

{This is my skywatch picture this week.}

I love snapping pictures of rustic little cabins.

The scenery is spectacular.

Those who choose to can experience the water up close.

There are even a few rapids.

Day drives are such a nice way to experience nature.
