COLORADO

 

I thought I would list some of the things I like most about Colorado:

THE MOUNTAINS…..

 

                                         

Having grown up in the mid-west, where the highest point might be 100 feet about sea level, the mountains here are just magnificent.  This is Mother Nature at her best!!!!

THE ASPEN TREES…..

I love to listen to the soft rustling that the leaves make in the summer breezes.

THE MOUNTAIN LAKES……..                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The clear aqua blue water against the mountain backdrop is spectacular…….

 

THE MINING TOWNS……..

 

I am so curious about these old towns.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to travel back in time to see these places during their “hay days"?  Not for very long, of course, I really do like all of my 21st century luxuries……..

THE WILDLIFE…….

 

HA HA……most of you know that we very seldom see any wildlife……

THE RIVERS AND STREAMS……..

You just don’t see crystal clear water like this back in the mid-west…….

 

THE HOUSES………

                                    

 

Most of the homes in this area are log cabins which blend into the landscape…….

And then there is my favorite…..

                                  

This was a place we saw while on our jeep trip.  Yes, that is a bridge going across a ravine to get to the house.  Somewhat remote…..I think you would only have to travel about 30 miles on a 2-track mountain pass to get to civilization……..

-I love the fresh smell of the pine trees after an afternoon shower

-The wind rustling through the pine trees

-The blue, blue skies

-The night sky….it seems as though you can reach up a pluck the stars from the sky

-The sound of the thunder from an afternoon storm echoing thru the mountains

 

Now, for the things that I DO NOT like about Colorado……..

Sorry, I can’t think of anything!!!!!!!!!!

 

May all your dreams come true…….
