Just got back from a four-day vacation to Southwest Colorado, 18 miles north of Durango, Colorado. It was a seven-hour car ride from the Verde Valley, AZ where I live. We went to escape the heat and to sit by a mountain lake. Here are some shots of our Airbnb cabin. I wanted lakeside access. I got it! Which shot do you like best?

    • Jim caught a rainbow trout. He was going for the Pike but we discovered you better go there in the spring for those beasts. It was just what I needed. To sit. To listen to the silence.

  8. That must have been perfect, Cindy. No top pick, as each photo has merit. I am envious of you ‘escaping the heat’, as it is very cold and damp here. 🙂
    Best wishes, Pete. x

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.
