Bluff Lake Nature Center

Yesterday Belinda and I went out to Bluff Lake Nature Center for a nice walk. What a wonderful place! Until last week, I had no idea such a place existed within Denver's city limits.

Although there is no lake at the moment (it's a seasonal lake), there are beautiful grasses and trees that are just starting to change into their fall colors. We had a great time walking the trail around the lake, watching cat tails disintegrate, exploring side paths and hanging out by the river. I also brought my camera along and Belinda was kind enough to let me take some photos of her.

We went out at about the worst time of day for photos: Noon. Despite the time of day, we were still able to find some nice pockets of shade and get some good photos. It was a rather warm day, so not only did we get a little sweaty, we also got a little sunburned! I can definitely see Belinda turning more pink in the photos from later in the day.

So how did we find this place and why was I taking photos of Belinda when she was sweaty and sunburned? Bluff Lake Nature Center is the non profit I'm supporting with my Fall Photo Fundraiser! I wanted to explore the various photo locations and get some examples of what it looks like. Of course, for a "real" photo session, we'd pick a better time of day and wouldn't end up walking 5 miles. :)

If you'd like to help me support Bluff Lake Nature Center, please visit my web page for more information on scheduling a photo session. I'll be donating a large portion from each session directly to Bluff Lake Nature Center. Supporting and protecting places like this is something that I believe very strongly in and I'm sure they'd appreciate your help as well!

Here are a few more photos from out outing:
