and now the unspoiled beauty of the poudre canyon (pic heavy)
last sunday was about the burn, yesterday was about peace and relaxation.
we left early afternoon and there were no numbwits in front of us. no subarus, no trailers, no campers. it's about an hour and a half to our spot and it's a great drive.
elephant mountain
oh, that sky 
and that river
new growth

the picnic spot
the lunch (can't wait for our corn to come in)
= new reply since forum marked as read
but i'm a bit biased 
that little tree was so cute (can trees me cute?) and i'm glad my pics of it turned out.
The new growth is my favorite. I love how the little casing pops off & the tips are so soft, for a few days anyway.
We live in a gorgeous state! 
i don't know that i would live anywhere else
