Colorado Rocky Mountain High
Because I grew up in the pine trees and mountains, I will always have a special fondness for them. It's great to live in Colorado for many reasons and one is that the mountains are not that far away.
These are pictures that I took on my way to the fabric store this morning (with my cell phone)!
Mountains along the Front Range.
I love the "misty" clouds above, they compliment the mountains beautifully!
And yes, it does give me a high to see these snow-covered mountains-- A Colorado Rocky Mountain High, just like John Denver sang about!!I probably shouldn't say this because it could bring all sorts of extra traffic to our state, but skiing in Colorado is FABULOUS right now because we just got 3-4 feet of fresh powder in the mountains this past weekend. The great thing is that the roads in Denver and West I-70 are clear but the ski resorts have tons of snow!! Just the way we like it!

I think I would love living there... I really do. I love the mountains! Even though I'm not a skier... I love looking out my front door and seeing the foothills (even though they are dinky). I could never live where it's FLAT!
Oh, I'm right there with ya! I'm a mountain lover. Loved the drive through Colorado this summer, just beautiful. On our way home from vacation we drove through Iowa and Nebraska, and it wasn't until we were finally nearing Utah that we saw some mountains, and it just felt like home. I need that backdrop in my life!
I love and miss denver. And I love that song. Singing it right now, in fact!
It is gorgeous! The Sierras are dotted with snow now too, and I actually thought of you this morning when I saw them! We visited CO years ago, and they were very impressionable(an understatement) and I was thinking of them. Love the new background and look Kari!
Beautiful!!!!! Makes me hope right in the car and drive up there. :) I LOVE the mountains. It's my favorite place to be! Too bad there aren't any down her in TX.
Denver is a beautiful city. We "lived" there for about a month and enjoyed it. Of course it was during the fall without snow. We are hoping to head to Durango in the next few years to stay with Jay and Lucy.
