Wow.. what a great day today. September 27, 2014.  The family and I decided to go up to Rocky Mountain National Park to check out some scenery.  On our way to Estes Park, Colorado we noticed that the traffic was getting pretty heavy.  Well much to our surprise it was a "FREE DAY" for entrance into Rocky Mountain National Park (there is an inside joke there for my brother and his family LOL).  But we decided to truck forward and check out the mountains and our first stop was Hidden Valley.   There is a nice hike for a family with children and there are also nice/clean restrooms with running water :)..  There is a small stream that runs down the hill along the path and we noticed tons of algae growing along the stream and on the trees.  We ran into this area that had beautiful contrast with the sun glowing through the trees onto the algae.  The shot turned out amazing.
