Starting with the past!!

Sprague Lake

I am starting with a post about a beautiful trip to Colorado (made in 2005) with my husband and son.  We drove cross-country which I loved, as I had not done that since I was 2 years old.  We saw the most amazing country.  I was proud to be an American.  The sights were very different from our rolling hills and small mountains here in New England.  I was amazed by how flat the center of our country is.  We kept looking for the Rockies as we got closer to our destination...it seemed we would never see them, everything was still so flat...as we pulled into Longmont, CO (to visit with family) it was kind of hazy...then...the haze lifted and there THEY were...the most majestic mountains I had ever seen!!!

While we were in Colorado we got to visit the Rockie Mountain National Park ...the picture I will be posting was painted from a photo I took of Sprague Lake....I hope you enjoy!!!
