It's About Color

These pictures come from a folder labeled Color. These caught my eye because of the intensity of the color or diversity of it. Most of these were taken fairly recently. Even though I have viewed these several times or more I still enjoy looking at them. What can I say. Pictures are fun.

Seen Friday Thru Sunday

A ride taken this past weekend. I am not happy with what I'm seeing with my pictures but here are a few that are worth looking at. This first one is south of Westcliff I believe. Covered over 700 miles including another cruise on Saturday to La Veta and Cuchara.

The next three pictures are in La Veta's cemetery and the mountain is one of the Spanish Peaks.

We take pictures of anything and this photo probably represents just that.

It's hard to get pictures of these two and even the black one by it's self. I have neither. The gray cat is the mother of the other.

It can be so pretty around the ranch at times and my whole life for the most part I have lived close to railroad tracks. I love the sound of trains. They can put me to sleep just like that. I like this picture but must take time and get down to the tracks. That is a must do.

A tree close to the house and I just like the color.

An Abbey and winery located in of Canyon City.

The train that runs out to the Royal Gorge.

The Royal Gorge with the tracks at the bottom. It was 21 smacks to get in the door. That got you a ride in the car in the picture below this one.

Most of the mountains and they are along the way all the time had a dusting. It was real nice in Hueferno County back at home in Steamboat Spring I guess it wasn't so nice as the mountain had it's first dusting as well.

Stopped in Salida and got my favorite for years-a chicken burrito with green chili. I love this chili at the Back Roads Grille.

If it weren't for the wires this picture could almost be period. This is maybe 10 miles south of Buena Vista.

Count real close how many tunnels you see here. On the Arkansas River just north of Buena Vista.

Pictures From This Weekend - 09/11/10

The Utah ruins trip has been delayed until the weekend of the 25th. The nights will be a bit colder and the days  bit shorter as well but it will be fine and until then just gotta wait.

So stuck around here and these are a few things I took pictures of. Actually came away with a few pretty decent ones. I'm lucky I got the fish that I did but I climbed a lot more than I fished.

There happens to a coyote on the left of the first picture and even with the naked eye it looked like there was white on the end of the tail. Still think it was a Wiley. It's a bit odd as the white is visible.

Remember the clicking of the picture to make them big and then bigger.

I like both of these even though they are close to the same.

Did not do well on this one chance of the train on George Loves Bridge. Wasn't ready and needed to be standing where the picture was taken below.


This is the reason for the name we know it by.


When I came down from above I walked up this major watershed in between the red rocks. It's difficult to capture what this was like but as I gained in elevation it turned into a rock highway and that was pretty cool along with other erosion features.

As I walked and climbed up it was narrow in places with trees and the bank of course on both sides. If it wasn't rock it was hard red sand/dirt. Came upon some type of footprint of some sort that was not from a Bambi. Well what crossed my mind was mountain lion and there are bunches around this area - bunches. I'd been at this a long time and went down the drainage and even though I was really tired----

Caught this good looking feller.


These are from today and actually not that far from town. On some of these county roads not all are maintained completely so hardly anyone lives on those sections and they are easily passable unless wet or snow covered.

Don't people go for rides anymore. I saw a lot of cool stuff this afternoon and I was the only one anywhere.

I like this picture.
