Default Colorado Skies

These both looked like water colors to me. I just had to take them.

They are indeed like watercolors and I just love the blue colour in the first one and the scenery is lovely. The colours and silhouettes in the second one are excellent. These are very peaceful capures. What a lovely part of the world.

Wow! They do look like watercolors, so soft and subtle. Positively gorgeous!
