A summer scene in Estes Park, Colorado, promises cooler temperatures and clean air.
So serene; it looks like a great place just to chillax.
Only 45 miles from my home too. It borders Rocky Mountain National Park.
A perfect place for a picnic.
And a spot of tea.
Looks like home, my friend….
nice.
Is that Lily Lake? Looks like where we just visited! So beautiful! I want to go back and lie on a rock and veg!
Might be Lily lake……can’t remember, and I’ve been there many times. Holly, you know what the best part of getting older is?……….I can’t remember that either.
But I do remember how nice you are and it is always good to hear from you
Thanks Mike
Don’t worry. I don’t remember much either. Oh well.
Really like the photograph in the header; its stark quality that has contrast and texture, Sally
Thanks. It is in my blog from a few months back.
Please send some to our hot, humid corner of the country!
If I could.
Mike, great banner photo.
Thanks.
I would place my tent, right….there…yes, that will do nicely.
wishin and a dreamin’ Beautiful.
Your tent would look good anywhere in that photo. I be wishing and dreaming too.
Thank you.
Quite a difference from the fires and recent events in Colorado…. Still there is peace somewhere… still it is still…
Most of the mountains in Colorado are as they were, before nature cleansed them with fire. Even after the fires, the still returned, although charred and barren. Time, if we have any left, will replenish it all.
such a beautiful picture….so calm and peaceful
Thank you. Calm and peaceful is priceless.
What a pretty, serene place. Oh, to go camping right near the lake’s edge, throw in a fishing line, grill the fish and sit by the lake just enjoying the quiet and the beautiful surroundings.
That pretty much is how it works at many of these sites in Colorado. I have caught some real nice trout up that way. Thank you for this nice comment.
Beautiful scene. I miss Colorado. I need an excuse to go back there.
Tell me where you’ll be and I’ll buy you a glass of wine, or if you don’t drink I will simply whine instead.
lol! I do drink occasionally, and a glass of wine is always welcome.
Good because I’m not much of a whiner!
Looks very nice and quiet. Good for a hike and a picnic.
Good for all of that. I will have a pretty post tomorrow. Marielba….say it once and its almost like praying
Marielba….Marielba, Marielba, Marielba!
(tell me the song and win $10,000)
. . . one of my favorite places.
I’ll be there this weekend!
I used to vacation in the Estes area quite a bit back in the 80′s. That was back when I was poor and we tent camped, living like gypsies! I always found the best homemade taffy there!
I’ll be in Estes this weekend, in a motorhome but dirt poor.
Looks like a really peaceful place.
Nice photo!
It is very nice there. Thanks Pablo.
