Our last snowfall was at the beginning of this month and I took photos of the daffodils in the front yard to share photos of but never got to it. I'm pretty sure we're done with snow this month, but with Colorado weather, you never know. Credits: I used actions (Snowball, Winegum, and Sweetie) by... Continue Reading →
A Quick Hike at Castlewood Canyon State Park
Last Friday, husband's planned hike to a 14-er didn't work out, so instead, he and I went to Castlewood Canyon to do a simple hike, something I could handle. It was beautiful with the changing colors of the leaves. Where I'm looking toward in the photo was once a damn built in 1890. The dam... Continue Reading →
