We're back from Colorado. You can tell it was a really good vacation because I'm exhausted.

Eventually I plan to post an illustrated travelogue - sometime after I finish sorting through, cleaning up, and uploading all 200 of our vacation pictures. For now, here are a few of my early favorites:



Storm clouds brewing over Trail Ridge Road.





Sometimes you just have to take a picture that looks like a calendar page. This is Sprague Lake.



It took some experimenting to discover a comfortable hiking carry. I'm smiling in this picture because I've finally managed to shift Alex off of my lungs. At Nymph Lake, on our way to Dream Lake.



A coyote walked within ten feet of us as we paused to admire the view above Moraine Park. My first ever coyote sighting.

Very nice. I am glad you enjoyed your trip to Colorado. I've lived here for thirteen years, and am still impressed by it. Rocky Mountain National Park is one of my favorite places.

Wow! That coyote really got close. Did Alex see it?

I know, I was amazed! It seemed curious, and not at all afraid. We were standing there admiring the view and talking - not even being quiet - and the coyote walked up within ten feet of my Dad, passed in front of us, and meandered down the hill.

Alex wasn't on that walk, but I doubt she would've paid much attention to the coyote. She doesn't have much of a reaction to animals yet.

Lovely pictures. That's the best picture of a coyote I can ever recall seeing. You look very happy in the 3rd one.
