I stated in my previous post that I wanted to focus on beauty throughout November and heading to Colorado this weekend was the perfect way to find true beauty.
My daughter and I went up to the Rocky Mountain National Forest to do some hiking. We packed water and some snacks and off we went. Sometimes I think I overestimate my abilities because I had no fears and it truly didn't dawn on me that I would be hiking in a Mountain as in (a) the air is thinner in the higher elevations, (b) at some time I would be hiking UP the mountain. Hiking up the mountain was a LOT harder than I anticipated! We started out going down 3.6 miles and then stopped for some snacks. Then it was time to hike back UP 3.6 miles. I had to stop several times just to get my breath. But I made it and I'm really happy that we did it together. The scenery was too beautiful for words and even the pictures I snapped on my IPhone can't convey how breathtaking the scenery was.

A herd of Elk
I asked for more beauty in my life and got a boatload this past weekend. The chance encounter with the herd of the beautiful Elk was the tip of the iceberg!
It will be a while before I'll be able to top this one! |
So happy you enjoyed your trip to Colorado. I am a native, and still cannot get enough!

Bonitos paisatges .Fa res encara estavem intentant esbrinar com es buida una carbassa per Halloween, i ja estem amb les boles per l'arbre i mitjons per a la llar de foc. Les seccions de decoració nadalenca dels grans magatzems ens ha sorprès a més d'un, des de finals de setembre! Ja fa olor de Nadal. elracodeldetall.blogspot.com
