Been a long time

since I have posted a photo here............shame on me!!! The following photo is of the Mesa Verde in the Southwestern tip of Colorado.

Aspen's

are my new favorite tree

Red & Green

When tomatoes were under suspicion we found these wonderful cherry tomatoes at our local market. Not good for making salsa as they add a bit too much sweetness. However quite tasty in salads. But the green in this photo is cilantro, one of my favorite herbs, that I use in a variety of dishes.

pick-a-pepper

Makes ya think of Indiana........

but these stunning lilacs bushes are in our backyard right here in Southern Colorado. Who knew I certainly didn't.

Wandering about.............

Mr Doodles decided to wander about on our next door neighbor's farm that has a couple of bison as well as some beautiful horses.

I had my little point and shoot and I stumbled on this very old tree
that had fallen years ago

It's Spring

so a few spring flowers for your viewing pleasure

just some scenery

just another beautiful stream...........running thru the Park

It's too bad it was such a cloudy day.........


the ponds and lakes are overflowing from the snow melt.........the reddish brush is spectacular as it glows brightly when the run shines.


Can't not leave without an animal photo..........how bout a young moose.

Full Moon

Photo by Mr Doodles....untouched by photoshop

Now that's a Big Sky!!!

Are ya getting tired of seeing the beautiful skies of Montana??? I hope not cause there are gonna be a lot more of them, some of them for my friend Miss B.

See that first photo.......on the left.........that little black dot........that's a Bison aka Buffalo. When we went on a drive today I lost count after seventy some Bison in a short eighteen mile trip. It is an amazing area that I wish y'all could see with us.

Welcome to the Rocky Mountains

I cropped out the blasted 18 wheeler that ruined my shot.

My favorite

this has to be one of my very favorite photos I have taken in a long time

More posies.......

from Salt Lake

Along the way...

When you pull into a rest area you never know what you might see...this time was a lady on her way to Las Vegas to ride one of her horses in a show there. Her faithful companion Buster always by her side. What a sweet dog he is.

Below you see Baxter munching on his lunch of some tasty hay. The other horse in the background is the owners favorite riding horse Beau.

A glimpse of Temple Square

Mormon Temple Square, Salt Lake City, Utah

a few flowers to greet you on the way to the small Chapel on grounds.

The famous Salt Lake Temple

And the ever so world famous Mormon Tabernacle Organ, 11,623 pipes to be exact. Yes this is where the Mormon Choir performs and you would not believe the acoustics.

The gardens on grounds are just abundant with color

Bryce Canyon

I love these formations

Nope no rainbow here but check out that elevation.
