Painted Mines Interpretive Park. Colorado. August 2010.
Today feels like a good day to wander around in the archives a little. You never know where it might lead.
Throwback Tuesday

In the Garden of the Gods. Colorado Springs, Colorado. August 2010.
I’m not sure I like that title. It sounds a bit like I’m throwing Tuesday back because I don’t like it or something. Ah well. Titles are not easy for me to come by so I’ll stick with it.
Today is a rather full day for me so I decided to mine the archives (hence the “throwback”) and see what I could come up with for a quick post. Naturally I ended up in the Colorado section because I have ignored so many of the photos from our last trip out there that I can always come up with something that hasn’t yet appeared on Ye Olde Blogge.

Path somewhere in Red Rock Canyon. Colorado Springs, Colorado. August 2010.
This week’s Photo Challenge is Path. I have a fondness for photographing pathways and portals of all kinds, making this an easy challenge for me. Although I prefer to use new photos for challenges, I’ll have to dig into the archives for this one because M and I are in Detroit for the Detroit Jazz Festival. This is another scheduled post.
338: Just in case

The shy flower
It occurs to me that with all we have going on today, I might end up doing another flash post. I usually like to keep a post handy for those “just in case” days when I either don’t have the time, energy, or inclination to post. So I got up early today to do a “just in case” post. I will schedule it to post and, if I don’t find time to post live and in person later today, we can all visit Colorado Springs in 2010 and assume I met my commitment to get outdoors for the day which I will then tell you all about on Sunday. Or something.
320: Mountains

Longs Peak in the background. Rocky Mountain National Park. Colorado. August 2010.
Last year at the time, M and I were in Colorado, hiking around in Rocky Mountain National Park. The WordPress Weekly Photo challenge for this week is Mountains, making this a great time to pull out some of those mountain photos that have been languishing in the archives. Longs Peak is the only “fourteener” (summits over 14,000 feet) in Rocky Mountain National Park.
261: Colorado dreaming

Fawn
Today and tomorrow are going to be full of family and fun. M and I are going to be visiting with our granddaughters, our oldest son, and his wife. I decided to go ahead and schedule a post just in case I don’t find time to do one tonight.
247: Water on sunnier days

(At the Alluvial Fan in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. August 2010.)
I’m dipping into some water shots I took while we were in Colorado last summer, just for the fun of it. And because the weekend is getting busy and it’s easier to bring up old photos than to upload, re-size, and post new stuff.
