Okay, I'm stuck on the picture feature of blogger. It's great. I just got done loading all of our pictures from our recent trip to Colorado. If you ever get a chance to travel near Aspen you need to take the time to hike at the Maroon Bells wilderness area. It's one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. There are a few trails you can take. Be sure to take the hike to crater lake. It's incredible. This shot was from the lower lake, about 100 yards from the parking lot. Crater lake is up behind us and is just as amazing, if not better. Be sure to talk LOUDLY as you hike. As we were coming back down from the lake we ran into a couple you had just seen a black bear about 30 yards behind them standing on it's back legs. We stumbled upon them about 1 minute after this encounter and the lady was so shaken she could not even talk. Needless to say, this did not give us the warm fuzzies and we gave it a few minutes before continuing to walk down!
Enjoy the pic.
