Colorado Dreaming

I lived in Louisiana, Texas, Alberta and New Jersey before my daddy finally settled us for a while in Colorado.  Even though I only officially lived there for about 13 years of my total life, I still consider it my "home." I needed to get a few more frequent flyer points to maintain elite status for 2011, so I decided on a quick trip "home," ostensibly to see the leaves change.  As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...so here are 8,000 words.....
an icon of my youth....
Typical sky found nowhere else on earth
Maroon Bells near Aspen
Aspen doing their thing
These are actual un-retouched colors




Homeward bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward bound,
Home where my thought's escaping,
Home where my music's playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.*



*Homeward Bound lyrics by Paul Simon

I think that's one of the biggest issues facing our current generations - we have the ability to live almost anywhere. And so does everyone else... family, friends etc. It can be hard when different places in the world have a claim on one's soul! Glad you made it back to CO and got some pics though, they are beautiful.
