A warming peek at last summer to help me get through this winter. Open range in my home state of Colorado creates a peaceful look at nature’s bounty.

The sun on the mountaintops really does look inviting. Have you ever been out there at dawn (I’m assuming this is afternoon/evening)?
LikeLike
That was afternoon, and I don’t do dawn anymore. Too damn old.
LikeLike
Yeah but I thought old people didn’t need as much sleep? Or that they go to bed around 7 so dawn should be easy for you, no? š

Lol, I am a bit of a night owl and 11:30 is my bed time. With a good night’s sleep I am in bed till 8:30. So much for stereotypes. Oh, I am also sexually active š

I find the colour of that short growth all around really interesting – it has a distinct blue tinge. What is it, and how come it’s so … ahh …low? (Forgive the ignorance of an Aussie.)
LikeLike
I think it is….I have no idea.But I can attribute some of the color to the afternoon light, and shade. Call on me again when I have no idea, which is most of the time.

And it snowed 3 inches here last night. Pretty and powdery, but a pain. Hi Robin.

Warm pictures help when the thermometer dips to zero. I look at beaches and boats, flowers and trees with leaves. A meadow is good. Green meadow even better š

The sun on the mountains is beautiful but what really caught my eye was the path/road. Where does it go?
LikeLike
There was once an old homestead down that way, but it now is in ruins. Perhaps there is a ranch or two above the bluff.
LikeLike
Interesting to imagine all the trips taken down that road over the decades…

Very cold winters there as well. Miners, loggers, ranchers, cowboys, and miscreants.

HA! But you have Mickey Mouse and Goofy. The only mice we have here are rodents and people don’t pay to see them, they pay to have them killed.
