a few more from hiking in Colorado...

Can you find the log that looks like a rabbit?
It certainly seems tiny against the back of Pike's Peak...

Sparkling snow is captivating, therefore I opted to sacrifice light to capture it here...

more Colorado...

We spent a lovely afternoon at the zoo in Colorado Springs - the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We actually haven't been to a zoo in several years, and the girls enjoyed it immensely. So did the grown-ups. Until we the rain rolled in... then it was time to go!

Colorado

We greatly enjoyed our trip to Colorado this past week. With summer coming on in Texas, we had fun going back in time (for us) to sweaters and jackets and gloves.


before we left our home state, we stopped here:
