Ken, how did I miss those ones!! I see that you posted them while we were in Pagosa Springs, and I didn't have Internet connection, that's probably why. I'm so glad I scrolled down in your gallery today, a bit. They are both gorgeous!!
Well, we got very much cooler weather here in Colorado for the weekend. It's probably snowing on higher elevation. #6321609
