Still some color but not much and you definitely have to look for it. This is from my workbook where I play all day and use photos from our day, and it won't be in my big printed book. Experimenting with a layout which I ended up adapting for my AnnaColor page.

Thanks for the challenge. This was a good excuse to put my AI in my book.

On Day 1 when I realized I was instantly addicted to AI graphics. I came up with a plan to manage adding it in to my life without making things crazy. I plan to use quite a few of the pieces I create, But even if I don't it's wonderful to explore it and learn what it can and can't do.

Inspired by the crow, I made this as a reminder to spend more time getting everything ready to add new stuff. It's always more than I think I'll get.

Thank you! Nice! I was very pleased with how your Moonlit Night inverted exactly what I needed for this page, too. :D

On Sunday, our last day, sunrise was pixel blasting red & thick clouds, but we were glad to be out. We saw a lot of elk and talked to a visitor who couldn't even spot them so far off, although he probably had a longer lens than we did. We were thankful for our age and experience.

On Saturday was still a bit windy and there were only a few pink clouds. At Deer Junction, sunrise started to turn the snow-capped mountains pink. Back down into the valley, we headed up Fall River Road because I hoped there'd still be some ice. It was mostly gone.

It unfolded differently each fall, but another big cold front was bringing snow to that valley Tuesday and Wednesday and soon the elk would be kicking the snow aside to get to their breakfast. We'd been out in that strong cold wind and driven the curves on ice. Winter was coming soon.

Thanks for these challenges! I get serious work done. :D

Whenever possible, I like to add an extra photo shoot to our travel days, if the weather is nice. Our sunrise wasn't all that, but still itwas wonderful to be out there. I was standing in a calm spot at Many Parks Curver and glad there was no wind.I hiked up to the overlook and the wind just...

On Wednesday we headed for our place at Fawn Valley Inn, but first a spin through RMNP and OMAD at Notchtop. On Fall River Rd. I saw a nuthatch and we stopped for a shot of the moon setting over the Divide. But my favorite thing was finding ice left from Sunday's snowstorm.

For many it was a morning to sleep in, and that elk wasn't wanting to move either. He stayed and let people capture photos and I thought he was just daring people to get too close while he was the rock star. This was the reason to get out, even on a cloudy morning. So worth it.

Thanks for the inspiration & challenge. ;)

We were both always thankful for many things, but on that day when I thought about it, I thought Notchtop summed it up perfectly. To be able to be in RMNP, seeing sunrise and everything bathed in gold, and elk, and then breakfast at Notchtop named after this very hard to spot peak.

Wow@ Thank you so much, Vera!

Thank you for the challenge. I combined Canastra and Colonna for my title, and used Georgia for my journaling.

We parked at the West Alluvial Trailhead and I took a walk along Roaring River just before it flows into Fall River. The sun turned the pine trees sensor overload bright orange. Before we left the park, we saw a small herd of bull elk still in the shade and one big guy all by himself in the...

Actually, yes, a big herd of bull elk. Only one standing in the golden early sun. But they almost never make good scenics once you telephoto to get them full in the screen. They're two football fields away. Both of these photos were snow scene panos (much wider than shown) just to the left of...
