pagosa springs | part three

Okay, here are the last of my photos from my trip to Pagosa Springs, a month ago... Most of these shots

were taken at Parelli Natural Horsemanship, which we first discover when we were in Pagosa last year. 

It is such a beautiful place, where they train people from all over the world to ride horses. I am so happy to

have found this place, because I love taking photos of horses... they are truly the most beautiful animal!!

Much of our time in Pagosa Springs was spent hiking. Just soaking in that amazing feeling of being surrounded by mountains, canyons, rivers, waterfalls, trees, flowers... I have seen the the beautiful Colorado scenery my whole live, but it still takes my breath away every single time. I remember standing in that spot pictured below, thinking about how I could never grow tired of seeing this. Of course, I try my best to capture the beauty in order to hold on to it for longer and I do love all of these photos, BUT photos can never capture it the way the eyes see it. What God has done is so good.

Around this time last year, I was able to spend a few days in Pagosa Springs, CO with my family, thanks to some kind friends who go to my church.  Well, this year they blessed us with an opportunity to go again & I am so thankful to them for sharing this with us! The view from the big windows & the balcony of our room was even more beautiful this time. We ate dinner on the balcony one evening, watching the water & the beautiful mountains... it was perfect! Of course, one of my favorite things was all of the pretty daisies that were scattered all around the area. I was perfectly happy walking around & admiring them... Daisies are one of my favorites! Now that I have been to Pagosa twice, I can say that it is one of my favorite spots to visit in Colorado. Hiking in the beautiful mountains, swimming in the huge pool at the resort, visiting my favorite shop in town for the best homemade caramels and just spending time with my mom & sister... All of it makes for a pretty perfect mini-vacation!! So, even though our time spent there was short, it was worth the 4+ hour drive!

And now on to part one for my photos...

 

 

More photos to come soon....
