There is a saying that I see in Colorado all the time that says..."If your lucky enough to live in the mountains, you are lucky enough."
I would prefer to say..."If you are blessed enough to live in the mountains, you are truly blessed!"
I feel abundantly blessed to live in Colorado, where every morning I can see Pike's Peak out of my front window. It looks different every time you look at it and it never ceases to amaze me! Every year Dave and I have had the privilege of spending time in our favorite vacation location in the Rocky Mountains.
I thought you might to take a enjoy going on a hike with me! I wish I could share all of the beauty we saw with you, but here are a few pics you can enjoy.
(Thanks to my hubby and his excellent photography skills)
The wildflowers were stunning! This is a Rosy Paintbrush. 
And above is an Alpine Sunflower
A Wyoming Paintbrush above and all different flowers below! 
Lakita and I are sitting and enjoying all of the colors. This side of the mountain was a blanket of color. (You may have to click on the picture to get in a little closer and see all of the different colors.) 
We started hiking at 6:15 in the morning, and saw lots of birds and wildlife too. It ended up being a 6 hour hike by the time we got back, but we sat and relaxed and tried to take in all of the beauty. 
Dave relaxing with Lakita! It was a great day, and I wish you could have been there to enjoy it all, but hopefully this gives you a little taste of heaven!
Well I have to run! Lakita says it's time to log off! Thanks for joining me on today's hike! I hope it has inspired you, as it did me, to worship our amazing Creator!
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1 NIV

Janna,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the pictures, thank you so much for sharing!
I find I am melancholy once in a blue moon for the Colorado Rockies that I grew up with, I was born and raised in Thornton (North of Denver) and spent a lot of time hiking! :)
Thanks for the memories!
