Danny and I took a trip to Telluride, Colorado last weekend.
It had been warm in Southern Colorado and the fall color hadn’t hit its peak.
A light dusting of snow on the mountains made a nice contrasting backdrop.
There were breathtaking views everywhere we looked.
And then this happened!
And that!
Pretty spectacular. It inspired my new quote:
“Roadblocks can be hurdled, but detours take you on a new road to solving a problem and can provide an amazing view.”
Happy October to you! What’s your favorite season?

Wonderful pics, Susie. Fall would have to be my favourite season. Of course, I don’t have to spend any time raking leaves.

Hey M2M! Great to “see” you!
You should plan a trip. I learned that color is dependent on how warm it’s been. We’ll have temps in the 70s here in Boulder all week, so we’re not even close to peak!
