Dancing Diamonds

This blog post is dedicated to Laury who loves 'dancing diamonds.' I didn't realize just how hard it is to photograph these lovely light reflections on water until I tried to capture them last week in Vail. This is Gore Creek which flows through Vail Village. It tumbles and rushes this time of year especially since Colorado has experienced one of the wettest springs ever recorded. I loved how the sunlight danced over the water. Further on downstream and in the middle of town, Gore Creek becomes a playground for both man and beast. It hosts kayak competitions in the early spring and later on this summer, locals will bring their canine friends to play in the water and cool off from the hot mountain sun.

This waterfall is another one from the Betty Ford Gardens.
