Illluminated

This is a playground I've found in the neighborhood, I had mentioned in my last post. My son (sitting on the swing) loved it. I loved the way the sun broke through the tree and the way the clouds looked.

My dream neighborhood

This area, which is the neigborhood up Cheyenne Mountain, is my ultimate dream to live! One is so close to nature. I've seen many times deers and their youngs standing in front yards of these houses. Unfortnuately I never have my camera with me when that happens :o( It's gorgeous up there. When it's a rainy, cloudy day...one will be stuck in the low hanging clouds, the views from up there over the city and the plaids is....aaaah, don't even get me started! :o)

Art

Now here you can see 2 pieces of art. One create by human hand and above, one by mother nature. I don't know about you, but I give my points to mother nature. Love the mountains!

Heaven

This little store, which we have about 3 of them, is my personal heaven. I love love love all their little goodies! Favorite: Raspberry jelly stick dipped in Milk chocolate - to die for!

Old Colorado City screams Halloween

In our Old City there are the Scare Crow Days comming up. A nice little festival, with cook outs and arts. Every store in Old Colorado city puts up scare crows outside. Now I liked this one especially. The famous painting "The Scream" blended in with a scare crow, that looks like the face in the painting. Very creative! Over the next dasy I will show you some more of the Scare Crows

Colorado's weather

They have a saying here in Colorado "If you don't like the weather, just wait a little bit." This is cause the weather here can change at anytime. Best example today we are back to 83 degress...after having close to 50 degress only 2 days ago. Well, at least it doesn't get boring ;o) This picture was taken on that cool day at our beloved Quail Lake/

Messenger?

The canadian geese have returned. Are they the messengers of fall? Within 2 days temperatures dropped from 80 degrees to chilly 54 degrees today. But my family loves it! Cool weather, grey sky....gorgeaus!

Purple Path

fish anyone?

With Prospect Lake, located in Memorial Park, being the home to fingerling crappie, channel catfish, saugeyes, wipers and rainbow and Snake River cutthroat trout, this tree little young men should be getting lucky to take a fish home for dinner.

raining cats and dogs

After all the last hot summer months, there's finally some cooling going on. I LOVE rain and this late afternoon rain seemed to just scream "Hey, fall is just around the corner!" No more heat soon! Now, I like that!
