Country Rust - Old Rusty Barn Doors

It was our first day driving.  We started out from northern Colorado and headed south on our way to Sedona, Arizona. We had packed our cooler with tasty munchies and just gone over Raton Pass into New Mexico.  It was time to satisfy our hunger and take a break when we saw a dirt road heading off the highway.  So of course being the adventurers we are we turned off to explore and search for a shady spot for lunch. We did not find that shade, but we did find this abandoned old barn with a set of three rusty metal doors. Who could resist!

Your comments and shares are always appreciated!

Giraffe Crisscross

Giraffes are one of those African animals that belong to the rich world of a child's imagination. The ridiculously long neck and patchwork hide of russet color make the perfect animal companion on a whimsical adventure in the Land of the Lion King. When this tall fellow crossed in front of the brick wall at the Denver Zoo I was delighted with the repetitive patterns crisscrossing before my eyes. I hope you enjoy it too!

Copper Cascades, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

There is something soothing about the sound of water trickling over rock. It is a natural background for deep thought and meditation. It has the power to transport and instantly relax. This wild mountain creek is the beginning of the Fall River in Rocky Mountain National Park. I can imagine by now, with the snow steadily falling outside, that it is frozen in an icy cold beauty. Its voice has been silenced, but I know that just as nature awakens in the spring its music will return.
