Contests:
Crested Butte Writers holds their annual Sandy Writing Competition. Open to both published and unpublished authors.

Awesome photos! I visited Garden of the Gods many, many years ago.
I loved our visit to the Garden of the Gods last summer though it was cut short when a Thunderstorm chased us away. I'm looking forward to going back next summer when my son is working at the Broadmoor again. It's so beautiful.
Beautiful pictures! There is yet another place to go on the list.
I'm wondering how I missed Ellie's announcement. Must have been reading too fast.
That looks like such a lovely spot to stand and enjoy our planet.
Great list of links as always. :)
Hey Shannon,
Those are very interesting photos. Unusual colour in the rocks.
I note that Alex is giving away followers. Ignore me!
Gary :)
mmm... snow...
It's the fence that makes it work Shannon.

Gorgeous pictures. I need to get back into the swing of submitting short stories.
Thank you so much Shannon.
No wonder they call it Garden of the Gods. Beautiful. Thanks for the great links. Always appreciate it when a blogger takes time to hunt down helpful items.
Fabulous links, Shannon! Thank you for those. And yes, loving the color with the rocks. Really lovely.
Love the photos (and we're getting more snow in the Springs as I type this) and those are some great links~ thanks!
Very cool images... kind of strange to see snow on a setting I expect to be in the outback:)
Nice pics. I subbed what I hope is a food-themed tale to Crossed Genres last week -- we'll see how it goes.
Huh, I didn't know Crossed Genres was doing a music theme this year. I completely missed that on my previous couple visits. I know where this piece is going next. Thanks, Shannon!
And those photographs are something else. Shrunk to fit your post, it looks like they've been saturated thanks to the sharp contrast of colors!
Alex, GoG is one of my favorite places!
Susan, how does he like working there? If you want to meet for coffee, let me know!
Crystal, I'll take you on a tour if you get out this way!
Mary, oh, it is. I love it there!
Gary, he has so many, he can spare them! The rocks are sandstone and the rust color is from oxidation, I believe (like rust).
Andrew, bring the fam out and play in it! Given, we usually don't get nearly as much as we are right now. Not all at once, anyway.
Maurice, you like the fence pic? I was never sure if I got it quite right, but I loved it leading away into the gray.
Christine, yeah, you've been a real slacker of late. ;)
Carole, thanks for coming by!
Lee, it's a perfect name, but the "garden" part comes about because it started as a beer garden. Yep, the gold-rich folks would drive their old automobiles into the park and enjoy some beer. I enjoy looking at those black and white pics.
Morgan, I do love the red of them. We've got a lot that color around here. I enjoy parts of Utah for the same reason.
Jessica, can you believe all the recent snow?
TF, yes, even living here the snow looks weird in the desert settings. Pretty, but weird. I love to see snow on cacti!
Milo, Oh, fun! I had one I was pondering submitting to that one that I hadn't looked at in quite awhile. When I pulled it to edit, I realized it needed a complete rewrite, so I won't be hitting this theme. Good luck to you!
John, yay, great to hear! Good luck! And thanks!
