I know it seems a little superstitious, but I wanted to put a post between my sweet little girls and the zombies post I've been working on. I have been planning this post for a few months and thought I should do it now. A perfect buffer!
As summer approaches with Senior Pictures and Family Pictures, I am sad that I will not be going to Boulder a lot this year. I have a favorite spot in Boulder that is absolutely beautiful! It is large enough not to interfere with other people who are hiking, biking or running and I rarely run into other photographers there and there are lots of fuzzy dogs to enjoy! Here are just a few images I have taken over the years in this spot.
After the floods last September, I went up to Boulder to see what it looked like. I was so sad to see that my spot was filled with sand and most of the water was gone. I wasn't able to walk around on the paths because they were roped off, but I am sure they looked like what most of the river banks looked like - full of displaced rocks, broken tree limbs and fallen tree trunks.
My favorite rocks were surrounded by sand, not water. I remember when I first found this spot, I was so in love with the still water, beautiful trees, the rocks, the bridges and awesome colors.
It was devastating to see Boulder Creek like this. I cannot imagine what people's houses look like. I feel for all the people that had houses damaged in the floods. I hope that the overfull rivers and storms we have been having do not do any damage this year.
I took this image in April this year and it doesn't look much different than the one above that I took in October.
Like so many other rocks and boulders, most of the rocks they were standing on were washed down the creek.
Many of these rocks were washed down stream too. I really loved this spot too!
This is what the Children's Pond looked like in April. I am hoping that it will be restored by next summer!
There is still a lot of restoring going on along the creek.
One of the reasons I don't think I will be going to Boulder for awhile is all the debris that lines the creek. And all the debris in the trees. I plan on going back this summer to see if it looks better when the trees have leaves.
