The family get-together yesterday June, 2,

Everybody.

Great fun.

We are so lucky.

This is crazy May, 31,

Walking in scenic places, we run into people taking pictures of each other and offer to take a photo of both, or all, of them at once.  Like this couple.

That often triggers a conversation and we have a good visit.  Sometimes it ends up with another picture with Henry included.  We exchange email addresses.  We exchange pictures.

And sometimes, it just ends up being a party!

The high country May, 29,

A few photos from last weekend in Estes Park and surroundings.

A broad-tailed hummingbird in the willow blooms.

A mountain chickadee.

Scenery in the park.

A steller’s jay.

Trail Ridge Road was open to Rainbow Curve, but closed after that for some reason.

The road beyond was open for walking though, so we did.

Clark’s nutcracker.

And back down to the low-country of Estes Park.
