adding Colorado & it's sights

Adding Colorado and a several weeks stay to see everything

A drive though the Rocky Mountains shows a man in kilts with the music playing in the background at a roadside overlook.
A look across the top of the Rockies and the distant glaciers(the light spots)
We encountered fog in one area on the way down, but it cleared quickly.
The trees are turning in the Rockies-some of the rust colors are due to the bark beetle killing the fir trees. They turn red before they die off.
A herd of elk in the Estes Park are in the rut time of year. The males bugle loudly before chasing a chosen female. It is quit an experience to see and hear.
Someone decorated a fir tree for Christmas and has left the decorations on year around. Quit a site in the forest.One of the small towns had some furniture outside that they made. A rather large rocking chair.

Another shot across the top of the Rockies. They were never clear enough to get a good shot at ground level. But we will keep trying.
