I love your blog and picturers! I am sad to have missed coming to find you only just now for we just left Lake City yesterday. Sadly (LOL) I finally irritated my husband pining aloud to move there (we live in Pagosa) We stayed at the Gowdy apartment for 3 days and now I am lovesick for Lake City my husband George says no one would hire him at ave 65 but i think they would hes had e0 years of Law Enforcement experience so I got on internet wanting to buy Lake City photos to soothe my heart and put them on our walls ☺️

Thanks for Sharing. I am in Germany right now and know I am missing the colors. This helps a lot! As usual, lovely shots. Do you recognize the old Beatle's song lyrics "You're getting better all the time!"
