Exploring Colorado's Country Roads - Part 2

framed black and white photo of western fence line and valley view in ColoradoA lonely dirt road wanders through a remote valley in Northern Colorado under a dramatic summer sky. The fence line stretches into the far distant mountain range. As we climb the steep hill to home in our four wheel drive truck the road becomes less defined and grassed over from the bountiful summer rains. Our weekend was drawing to a close, but the memories of the tall peaks at Long Draw linger.

  4. There's only one thing missing in the first photo - me taking a walk! In the second, I'd be riding a bike, and in the third, I'd be driving along in a car. All beautiful pics!

  5. Amanda, I might be able to share a few more pics of Long Draw. I'll put that in the hopper!

    Anita, I walk along the first road/path everyday. That shot was taken in June. It is brown and dry now but still lined by ponderosa pines.

    I am lucky indeed to live in this place of beauty. Thanks for your wonderful comments!

  11. I found myself on a country road this weekend, exploring. It was a road I hadn't been on before and would love to know where it came out but it was to long and to far from where I had to park the SUV. Gorgeous photos, btw. The black and white is very poetic. Have a great day.

  12. Hobo, if you are interested in doing virtual frames check out Big Huge Labs. They have a very easy to use framing tool.

    Thanks everyone for the great comments. Long Draw is a beautiful area and only open a few weeks in the summer due heavy snows. I'll try to post more shots from this beautiful area soon.

    Cheers!

  18. Great pictures, as usual! I've only visited Colorado in the winter to ski, never thought how beautiful it is in the summer!

  20. Harold, you should definitely visit in the summer some time. There are many remote places that are inaccessible in the winter, unless of course you are on skis.

    Karen, thank you!

  21. The last photo is absolutely breathtaking - it is no wonder that your talent has reached these heights and you continue to produce such successful art when you have the beautiful inspiration around you to feed from. You have been truly blessed, with your talent and your stage. Regards.

  22. Ya just wowed the barn boots off this old farm girl. Your pics are breathtaking beautiful as usual. I'm drawn to the fence photo because it could have been taken right here on the Ponderosa.
    I'm such a newbie at digital I think I'll go walk some fence-lines. Thanks for sharing.

    Have a wonderful day filled with blessings and surrounded by Gods beauty!!!
