These pictures were taken today and tomorrow of 2015. We were hoping to return to South Central Colorado for fall break, but it didn’t work out. A revisit through the photo album will have to suffice. Which one do you like best?

1. Gold Framing
2. Black and Gold
3. The Hills Are Alive
4. Inside the Aspen Grove
5. Fall Drive
6. Trout Lake, outside of Telluride
7. Colorado Pines
8. Granite Face
9. At the edge of Trout Lake
10. Aspen Buddies
11. Looking up
12. Feels like you are in the Alps

We were fortunate the weather was perfect. Capturing a perfect day locks in the memory and lessens the sting of a humdrum day.

  3. I like the header, ‘Gold Framing’ best. But they are all excellent, and each one a ‘keeper’ on its own merit.
    Best wishes, Pete.

    • When I was a girl, I used to doodle and draw scenes. Repeatedly I would draw a lake with a mountain behind it and rolling hills in front with trees. When I saw Trout Lake for the first time, I was taken back. It was exactly out of my imagination.

      • Oh yes. I love being outdoors. I love camping hiking seeing new waterfalls, standing on top of highest point and bluff. Such a great addiction.

          • A lot of people go to the Rockies and Toronto and skip Eastern Canada, I have been all over Canada and I think the East is so beautiful, but tourist have to drive as it is not accessible,

Words I take to heart

Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. –Eleanor Roosevelt

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. –Benjamin Franklin

If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.–Milton Berle

Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. — Robert Louis Stevenson

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” –Teddy Roosevelt

I miss Gene Kelly.
West Side Story. Best Film Ever? No, but darn close.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.
Marlon Brando. On the Waterfront. Best ever? Yep.
I’d rather be outside than in.
