Behold, the Rockies!

It is impossible to describe the splendor and majesty of the Rocky Mountains. My camera just doesn't do justice to the awe and inspiration I derive from this place.



Yes, I'm back in Colorado for the annual AIS Educator's conference, and yes, I'm taking a couple of days vacation to renew myself by visiting the Rocky Mountains National Park. And yes, I took all these pictures...


The photos are mine, and not copyrighted. Several readers have commented that they use my pictures as their computer wallpaper. I'm very honored. Below are several more posts from the last 2 days, with lots of pictures.



I took several hikes, and covered about 15 miles or so in the last 2 days. My hotel is in Fort Collins. I drive up to the park -- about an hour and a half each way-- in the morning, and back down again in the evening.




Click on the pictures for bigger versions. The bigger versions are much prettier.

See Rock City...

Hi David,
I knew you were off gallivanting again in the guise of work, but I didn't know it was in Ft. Collins!!! I bet you didn't know I lived there for a short time. My mom attended CSU... I think that's the right set of letters...there. Are you there for long? One of my favorite jaunts is to go to Estes Park.
Have a great time. Oh and do you like sauerkraut? The area there, specifically between Ft. Collins and Greeley had a great German influence and there are some places at least back when I was there that you could get a really great thing called a krautburger, actually cabbage and hamburger and I don't know what else wrapped in dough... very tasty...

Very purty!....Mark's employers are taking everyone who works for them (and their spouses and kids) to Colorado in mid-September for a three-day trip. We'll be doing some pretty rigorous hiking part of the time. Also, we'll be taking a scenic train ride. I'm already "working out" to get in shape for the trip. We're looking forward to it!

Your daughter loves you. Teehee!
