Tuscan Villas in Colorado Springs - 09/27/08 07:13 AM
As a Realtor, I'm constantly seeing homes in the Colorado Springs Area;

Life is like a Rainbow .............. - 09/03/08 09:25 AM
 
I'm an avid photographer, and sometimes my best shots
are a result of being in the right place at the right time.
I got lucky one evening and captured this magnificent rainbow as the sun was setting in Colorado Springs
 

 Like a rainbow, you need both the sun and the rain to make it's colors appear.
