A Drive Down from Telluride...


Starting up on Dallas Divide, northeast o Telluride, these are not all the same day, but more so snapshots of the route we take so often coming home from Denver or after a day out for a drive. What do they have in common? That the light, the sky or the wildlife was so amazing, it made me stop and take notice.


Coming down into the valley, before Telluride...


Almost to the new round about that is still so darn confusing...


A huge elk herd on the valley floor, coming into town...

In Telluride, that silver line in the box canyon....


Turns into this, closer up....


And after passing by more critters....


Is this, Bridal Veil Falls, complete with a very old house and hydro-electric power.


Coming back through Telluride, cause for all but the most insane, there are only two ways out of the valley and going west, over Lizard Head, sometimes the clouds get stuck in the Dolores Canyon...


And the light tilts in the old town of Rico...


Where below, Mama and babies can be spotted....


Down canyon and up on the mesa tops, the clouds sometimes sink lower than Mesa Verde....


Sometimes you have to be patient going home...


But once there, our old barn never disappoints, whatever the season, the La Platas in the distance and the setting sun in front of it...


Neither do the wild orchids and sweet peas that faithfully come up every year, whether I remember them or not.
