Thanks to all my followers - I was pleased to reach 100 a few days ago, something I never imagined when I started blogging! Thanks also to those who comment - I read and enjoy all the comments, and it's fun visiting those blogs. To answer a couple of recent questions:
1. I used to ski, but I haven't in several years. I plan to go a couple of times again this winter.
2. There are certainly wild animals where I hike. I have seen bears (mama with her two cubs not more than 30 feet [10 meters] from me), snakes, and assorted other creatures. One time a bear ran across our yard as my son was walking in the front door. But they are generally not dangerous around here - the two main outdoor dangers in Colorado are lightning and hypothermia, even in the summer if you're at very high altitudes. Although there have been a couple of mountain lion attacks nearby in the last few weeks...

Congratulations on the now 102 followers! It is fun when you see the numbers of your followers increase -- I was thrilled when I reached 10 and never, ever even considered getting to where I am now. Well, your blog is very deserving of the attention it is getting and you repay visits, something else that I think is important to others as well. I know that I do appreciate your comments on my blog so very much and look forward to them each day. Enjoy the rest of your week and have a beautiful weekend, Al!

ReplyDeleteThat sunset is one of the things that makes me homesick for Colorado. Sigh.
You talked about critters - one of the most unusual animals we saw in our front yard in Colorado Springs were a couple of foxes just moseying through.
Stunning colors, what a gorgeous shot!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that called a "St. Elmo's fire" sky? Wonderful capture!

ReplyDeleteAl, this sunset is glorious! I also like your Sand Dunes photo in the Header. There was a moose in my side yard the beginning of the week. I've been a bit more alert on my trails! I downhill skied today - it was great. Breck has a bunch of snow! Happy Thanksgiving.
