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

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.

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
