OoooO! OoooO!
Let the Friday fun begin – with a “flash photo.”
The crowd hit the forest’s dance floor as they swayed in the melodic wind. A gnarly aspen bumps and grinds the twisted two-some while wearing a toothy grin.
You never know what you’ll find when looking for adventure in Colorado…
The next Use Me and Abuse Me Day is coming up next Wednesday, October 3rd. Get ready to share a link to one of your blog posts and party in the comment section.

Great! I will look forward to reading your post!
I took an amazing photo of the front range this morning from my porch. There was fog in the valley and snow in the mountains. It has been a beautiful season. Thanks!

I have never seen them twisted like that! I had a couple of ficus that had been twisted to hold a golf ball for Father’s day! They didn’t last too long. I don’t think they preferred the entanglement!

If trees had genders I’d think that the thick one is the female giving the skinny male a hip chuck. I also think I need more caffeine chased with a morphine drip to ease the pain of living.

So you noticed those hips on that big aspen too! I think one of the two skinny guys could have said, “Hey, baby! How’s your As-pen?” Aspen used to make t-shirts like that back in the day! Hahaha!
Oh gosh! You must really be feeling it today! I feel ever so much better after my pillow switch. I can always use more caffeine! 🙂

I LOVE that photo! But, I see a face on the leanin’ tree (Boulder reference), so that to me, the tree is leaning head and shoulder into the skinny trees. Love the hints of purple in the shot. Gorgeous!!
Another party?! Yay. I missed the last one. You’re such a great party-thrower, Susie. You’re awesome!!

Your pictures are so amazing! I want you to assemble a bunch and make me a coffee table book. You can write cute little anecdotes below each one if you wish, in fact, I’d prefer that.
Hey, there’s an idea – you should sell coffee table books. You’d be rich. You’d be famous. You could buy any freaking pillow you wanted and sleep good every single night!
Just a thought.

Love the photo and looking forward to another one of your lively online parties. I was going to say that I was looking forward to using and abusing you again, but I didn’t, because I’m feeling uncharacteristically tame tonight. Lol
However, if there is dancing, and I hope that there is, I know that I will enjoy it. 🙂
