Another One Bites the Dust

The subject of this post refers to wedding details, not enemies or anything like that. Today Ashley and I went to Manitou Springs, just outside of Colorado Springs. Our mission: purchase "the" cake topper from The Glass Blowers of Manitou. We were familiar with their work because Ashley aunt and uncle purchased their cake topper from that shop, probably somewhere around 20 years ago. After the drive down, we made a beeline past other fun shops, strait to the glass blowers. After many minutes of careful consideration, we chose "the one." It's a beautiful piece of art, with two swans in front, their necks forming a heart, and a larger heart in back. The artist was able to attach some silk flowers in our wedding colors. It's absolutely beautiful.

After our "small" purchase, Ashley and I decided to hike around Garden of the Gods with the remaining daylight. We both had our new cameras, and we both snapped some decent shots. I was proud of the shots from my new Canon compact, but Ashley's mini-SLR is still much better for landscapes. I've posted some of both of our photos here.
