Moon rising over the mountains – amazing how big it looks at just around 7ish.

Beauty in the Little Things…

08Jul09

559 // July 08, 2009

This was actually a mistake photo – I meant to capture the silhouette with him looking directly at me – but he turned his head at the last minute. I wad disappointed and wrote off the photo as a “meh…”.

However, I decided to re-evaluate and revisit — and what I REALLY love about this photo is not only the position of the person, but the sunbursts and the colors within. How about that one all the way on the right? Red> orange > white > blue > purple (and the various other colors in the other circles).  I could not have replicated that if I spent all day trying.

It’s the beauty in the little things….

Mountain goat on Mt. Quandary. He tried to get kind of close to us on our descent down the mountain — we think it was because of the pups and unfortunately, some people do feed them. In either case, he quickly lost interest and we continued on our way.

Mt. Quandary

05Jul09

556 // July 05, 2009

Mt. Quandary stands at 14, 265 as the unquestioned monarch of Summit County. It can be seen quite clearly from CO9 in between Hoosier Pass and Breckenridge, in addition from the top of Dercum Mountain in Keystone while skiing.

In the typical early-to-mid summre Colorado weather that can’t make up it’s mind, we experienced hail and burning sunny skies within 15 minutes of each other…. quite frequently. Mt. Quandary is the tip of the mountain you see before you.

Babysitting Cubbie’s littermate, Sage, all weekend, we took a picture just below the summit with all four of us. It is Mr. Cub’s second 14er and certainly not his last.

With the inclimate weather heading towards us at a fast pace, my body declined to sprint up the last hundred feet or so, while Dave and Cub tagged the top and came down. It hailed in the meantime, and of course, was sunny skies thereafter. Coming within so close of the summit, I’ll still declare this as an UN-official 14er summit– quite alright for me!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July. This is a view from atop Keystone’s Dercum Mountain, looking just right of Lake Dillon around Sunset.

Sprinkler Captures

Shot some photos in passing of some sprinklers.

I love how white and charismatic these seemingly-simple drops of water actually are.

Hope you’re staying cool enough this weekend!

Apologies for the absence yesterday – we had a power outage at the house, which didn’t come back on until 3am. This was taken looking East on a bike route in Keystone, Colorado. route in Keystone, Colorado.

Pink Weekend

28Jun09

550 // June 28, 2009

Sorry I’ve been away all weekend. It’s been a very long, but fun one. We watched mom – my mother-in-law – walk and cross the finish line after becoming a 2009 top fundraiser and walking 26 miles in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Oh, and most importantly – an 8-month survivor. EFF YOU, cancer!

More pictures and back-story to come, right now I need some sleep…

I’ve just about had it with monsoon season here…I can only hope with this much rain, there will be hardly any fire restrictions this summer when we go camping.
