One of the best dragonfly pix I've seen (they will not ever hold still for me ever). And just the general feeling of solace (a wonderful word which I should use oftener) that comes through the whole post; this is a lovely place. <br /><br />We went to Aspen with the CO 'kids' in the summer our first visit after they moved to CO (over ten years ago) and it wasn't too badly crowded -- but not for any of us even then, though we were all glad we saw it once. Myrtle Beach was one of the few places we visited where we honestly couldn't find a single thing to like! We liked to say we're travelers, not tourists. So hopefully, it is not too hypocritical to complain about how tourists can ruin a place.Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-45527079771143183622017-08-05T15:06:50.316-04:002017-08-05T15:06:50.316-04:00Howdy and Thanks!

Soon the weather will change to fall and it will be a different experience altogether.

Sis told me to take the bus into Aspen..the thing is Aspen is SO small, it doesn't take much to overcrowd it.

We cannot imagine experiencing what you are with your Mom, but it is hope-filled to see you processing in this way.

Even faulty your camera takes good shots. Going back to places you visited years ago can often be a doubled edged sword. But at least now you're able to make a comparison and decide which you like best. no wonder many people go to that area to escape the heat and crowds.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-33150547735415195112017-08-03T00:30:40.397-04:002017-08-03T00:30:40.397-04:00OH MY what gorgeous pictures, the clouds in the mi...OH MY what gorgeous pictures, the clouds in the middle of the mountains, reflections of clouds in the water and so many more birds. The Kingfisher in flight, the beautiful violet green swallows, great shot of the osprey nest and of course the cabin. <br />And a picnic next to the water with a nice float.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.com
