So when we left off last time I was spending the night with Mr. Tibbit. All I knew is that we were staying some where west of Longmont. I could not see a thing because it was pitch black night. Well here is what I woke up to. It was nice and very pretty! Here are some pictures I took that morning.
I like this picture...something about the tree being in focus and the "hill" behind it being slightly out of focus...best depth of field I could pull off with my camera.
This is the 2nd daughter of the Tibbit's. Cute as a button and look at those eyes. I didnt get a picture of the other. She was hiding for the better part of the morning it seemed.
And again...she was rather shy to say the least.
After going back to town...Matt dropped me off at the rental car which I left at the church over night. Had a slightly tense moment of where are the keys to this car at....they had slipped between the passenger seat and the console of Matt's vehical the night before. Talk about panic haha. I left Longmont and headed towards Boulder. Boulder was a very interesting city. Seemed much like what Fayetteville is. It is a college town and they still have the old downtown feel that Fayetteville has...I got lost there a couple times trying to follow the directions on poorly labeled streets. Little did I know this was going to be a constant problem for Colorado as you will see.
I was attempting to take the scenic route from Boulder to I-70. Right out side of Nederland I found this awesome dam. Yes I stopped and wasted about 45 minutes taking pictures and stuff of this area. Turned out it was a reservoir for Boulder...long way for the water to go.
Mmmm another view.
Probably one of my favorite pictures from the trip. I love the depth of field...totally follows the one third rule...it looks sweet....oh and it has a dam in it...Civil Engineers love dams....right? All honesty though I do like this picture.
Make me wonder why they quit painting it...
Maybe the drop is why they quit painting it? The next step is a lulu type of thing?
There are some really big round rocks in the middle of this lake...random statement...obviously the lake isnt completely full at this moment.
in that little city (Nederland) there is a round-a-bout. I had to pull off the road to take a picture of it. I believe this might be the first round-a-bout I have drove...about.
Also they were erecting a totally sweet wooden skeleton statue with a guitar...wait...what? Odd...I am guessing there are some major Grateful Dead fans in this small little town...
A little city that was nestled in the mountains. I was totally lost at this point because Colorado does not put any type of signage up on their roads. Thankfully I can identify location due to the fact the iPhone geotags all the photos it takes.
Some cool tunnels on highway 119...
I eventually wound up in Golden Colorado which is a sweet little town outside of Denver. But it was totally the wrong direction. Oh well all is well that ends well. Made it into Winter Park at about 4pm...took 5 hours for a google map predicted 2.5 hour trip.
A out door ice skating place in Winter Park. We thought this sign was funny since we were both on the ice with shoes.
Daniel with the Moose sign behind him...
BTW Winter Park completely shuts down at 9pm at night...Odd.
Riding the buffalo
And me!
And a picture with a bear. And then the battery died. I stayed with Daniel in his hotel room that night. I love free places to stay.
