7-Day Nature Photo Challenge ~ Day 3

We were nominated by fellow blogger, ProjectRelish, for a seven-day photo challenge, so we will be posting one of our nature pictures every day for the next seven days.

For Day 3, we chose a picture from our trip to Tangier, Morocco.  During our trip, we visited the Cave of Hercules (Grottes d’Hercules), which is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.  It is an interesting site, but the highlight is the opening of the cave that is believed to have been carved by the Phoenicians.  When viewed from the ocean, the opening is in the shape of Africa, which makes it pretty unique.

Daily Post Photo Challenge – One Love

Several years ago, we were at Yellowstone National Park and we had gone to the wolf preserve in West Yellowstone to see the wolves up-close. While we were there, we captured this picture of two wolves who appear to be in love. When we saw the weekly photo challenge come out, we knew at once that this was the picture that we wanted to share.

7-Day Nature Photo Challenge ~ Day 2

We were nominated by fellow blogger, ProjectRelish, for a seven-day photo challenge, so we will be posting one of our nature pictures every day for the next seven days.

For day 2, we decided to use a picture from closer to home.  Living in Colorado, we love to hike and we literally have hundreds of pictures of the mountains, waterfalls, and trails from throughout the years.  Since both of us grew up on the east coast, we definitely know the beauty of the northeast in autumn, but there is something about the brilliant golds of the Aspen trees that we simply love.  Last fall, we went hiking at one of our favorite spots and then drove into Cripple Creek for a late lunch.  On the way back, we saw the sun shining on the hills across from the road and simply had to stop the car and take a picture.  We loved the patchwork of colors that blanketed the hillside.
