July Cabin Trip

Quick little trip out to the cabin, despite messing up the moon calendar and realizing it's about as far away in the month from a new moon to try Milky Way photography as possible. 

And despite Marci forgetting the telescope that hooks up to my camera to try some up close moon shots. 

And despite the fact that clouds would have obscured any attempt at either kind of photography . . .

it was a lovely visit filled with good company, conversation, a whole lot of hummingbirds, and a few other wildlife sightings.

The Fortune Club had just reopened after a long refurb. 












The morning brought a few elk out to the road











we took the scenic route back to Marci's and stopped along Tarryall at the waterfall



On Guanella Pass, we came across this herd right on the road, with a bunch of babies




Back to Idaho Springs for a short walk in the sunshine and a sit on Marci's porch

First Half of July

Took an E-Bike ride with my bestie now that Marci has relocated for the summer. Now I'm hooked. The best analogy I can offer is riding a regular bike in the mountains is like rowing a tiny boat on the gigantic seas and the E-bike is a pleasure cruise.

Also, a quick trip to escape the heat up to Echo Lake with Sammi & Jason, last little trip before they leave this week for Florida
