The warm sensation one feels when they approach a colorful stand of Colorado autumn aspens.
Creek Off of Ptarmigan Trail
A nice creek we crossed on our hike up to Ptarmigan Lake in the Sawatch Range of Colorado. This little creek was flowing pretty good and we stopped on it's bank to have lunch.
Mutual Respect
When traversing the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, we inevitably will cross the path of some open range cattle. Teig does get a bit excited when he sees cows who notice him. On this day we were above Buena Vista and there were quite a few of them on the ridges feeding. This cow and her calf watched as we approached. Teig barked once then just stared at her and her calf. They pondered each other for a couple of minutes and then Teig continued on… I guess there was mutual respect and no further contact was required.
