Skate Park Kicks

This is a little outside of what I normally shoot, but I'm really trying not to limit myself to just shooting my favorite subjects (plants, architecture & bicycles!) so today I rode downtown looking for something new to shoot.  Admittedly, I was hoping to find some pretty fall trees dressed in bright shades of yellow, but there weren't any.

Eventually I ended up at the skate park by Coors Field and hung out with the skaters for a couple of hours. They were all so into practicing their jumps that I don't even think they noticed me.  Except for the little girls, who all moved to the other side of the park when I arrived presumably to keep from getting photographed.

I could watch racing skate boards all day long...  I just wish I could ride like that but I'm not sure my body would survive the learning curve to get there at this point.

52 Saturdays 2011- Rooftop Espresso

This weekend we biked to downtown Denver and stayed at the old Brown Palace Hotel to celebrate hubdude's birthday and the wedding of some good friends.  Our first stop on Saturday was the Museum of Contemporary Art where we had wine & coffee on the rooftop patio. 

52 Saturdays 2011- Spring Flowers

My Saturday photo from this weekend is the last shot of the beta PX680 polaroid film I have from The Impossible Project  .  Time to load up on more of this colorful film.

As always, you can see more of the fun Saturdays of 2011 flickr groups' photos here.  If you need a kick in the pants to take more of your own photos, it's a great group to join.

Cheers,
Andrea
