Poudre River Colorado Rockies– Photo-Artistry by kenne
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Telluride Panorama (All Images by kenne)
Granted, we only spent less than 24 hours in this beautiful Victorian mining town, turned ski resort, fly fishing and mountain biking community in the western San Juan Mountains — I’m here to tell you that I love this town. In hindsight, we should have scheduled more time.
Bridge over the San Miguel River
We arrived in Telluride just after a thunder storm had passed through the area and drove to our hotel located near the San Miguel River.
San Miguel River
This river, like many Colorado rivers, is known for fly fishing and rafting.
Joy Walking The San Miguel River Trail
After checking in, we walked the trail next to the river to take the free gondola over the mountain to the companion town of Mountain Village.
Free Gondola From Telluride to Mountain Village
View from the Gondola
In the gondola ride over to Mountain Village, we were with four other people. Like most people in Telluride, they were originally from somewhere else — three now residents and one visiting for the summer. It was a joy having a dialog with them.
Top Of The Mountain
On the ride back to Telluride, we departed at the top along with mountain bikers who were eager to take on the challenging mountain bike trails. We spent a brief time walking taking in views on both sides of the ridge.
Homes in Historical District
Homes in Telluride are very expensive! One on this street that we walked down was for sale with a $1,750,000 price tag — one bedroom and one bath.

I live in the Sonoran Desert where cacti are abundant.
But I photographed this little guy alone the Poudre River, northwest of Ft. Collins, Colorado.
This cactus looks like some type of barrel cactus. (September 14, 2014)

While in Fort Collins for Matt’s graduation, some of us took a day trip to Estes Park and a drive into the Rocky Mountain National Park. This part of Colorado is such an attractive area, which offers a lot of beauty and things to do, regardless of the time of year. With his cousins having returned to Texas, Nick stilled seemed very happy to spend the day with Mom and grandparents. He is very much the little man.
Although we have seen Nick, Kate and Matt several times in the last two-plus years, it was August 2008 that I was last in Ft. Collins and Estes Park. As you can see from the photo on the right, Nick is still a hansom little guy at twice the age. The photo was taken above Estes Park. To be honest, I prefer the summer time in the mountains. My interest in skiing is over.
Hopefully, we will be seeing them again this spring in Tucson.
