Our view while on vacation in southwestern Colorado

Many folks noticed the lack of new stories post last week other than a photo or two on our Facebook page.  We took the week off for some much needed R & R and were able to enjoy one of our favorite parts of the state.

The image below was taken in Gunnison National Forest a little ways north of Taylor Reservoir.  In the foreground is Lilly Pond, in the background the Collegiate Peaks.

The stunning greens and blues truly were as bright as the image shows.  While rain was far too prevalent for our liking during our time in the area, the scenery was amazing.
