Iron Svens: A Colorado Wonder

Jed and I decided to revisit the place where we were engaged because of this rare and unusual geological process. Two weeks ago when we were in this same mountains there were signs posted in areas that said 'no motorized travel due to the fragility of the iron fens'. No more explanation than that. We consider ourselves somewhat clever and after eliminating the idea that the iron fen was a type of bird, we decided it was, in fact, a plant. A very fragile plant that only grew on the left side of the road (where the signs were). Of course, that decision didn't keep us from googleing iron fens when we got home. Turns out, there are eight of these anomalies in Colorado and they are found no where else in the world! I'm not giving away their location, if you are that interested, you can do the research (we have to protect these bad boys), but WOW! Gorgeous!!!! The dogs loved it, but I'm not sure if they should have been drinking the water. Pico looks a little drunk.

Jed and I also decided to take some of our engagement photos while we were up in our special place. We'll do a real photo shoot with Kyla soon, but my goodness we had fun making fun of ourselves.
