Colorado Hiking

I think this is one of the most beautiful times of year in our state - well until the snow comes - then I think that is the most beautiful.....

We packed a bag and took off to see some new sites.

And I Can never just choose one photo to show you - I just love everything we see!

Including these barrels - Just out there in the middle of nowhere. They were pretty interesting - but there was no sign, or anything indicating why they were there. So we made up our own stories..... like - this was where they used to have stills in the olden days - the dry days, and maybe there was still Hooch in there - ha ha!

But seriously - look at these colors!  It was just so bold and pretty!

and this cove - I think this would be an awesome place to camp

And boat if we had one!

It was just so peaceful 

and the colors were starting to get all fall like

I sorta wished I would have packed a few quilts out there for a photo session

But - after a few hours of hiking I was pretty glad I hadn't - my camera weighs enough ;-)

Seriously

Totally worth the hike

We still have smoke - not only from our fires but especially from California's fires

so it changes the colors of the skies in places

Check that out!!

So serene

and then - just cuz I love playing with black and white.....
