I was photographing the rock formations at The Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Spring, Colorado when I happened to look down (one mostly looks up when at this park) and noticed how beautifully the late afternoon sun made the grass along the paths sparkle. I had recently been encouraged by a professional photographer to embrace blowouts. This is a product of my new found courage! Taken with a Canon 6D, Canon EF 24-105 lens, ISO 800, f/22, 1/200.
