God's Paintbrush

We live in a BEAUTIFUL place. I know that there is beauty all around in God's creation and it looks different in different places.  I love the tall pines trees at home in Lousiana, the wide open sky in Montana, and the ocean in California BUT here in Colorado I feel as though God added a little extra.  This weekend we took a drive to see the Aspen trees as they are turning colors as fall is arriving.  Here is a list of words that were used over & over during the drive:  breathtaking, beautiful, amazing, wow, unbelievable....you get the idea.  We pretty much ran out of adjectives to describe it.  Pictures really don't do it justice, but here ya go

Just outside of Colorado Springs...starting to see color


Pikes Peak


Please excuse the power lines....we were driving  :/






Love this!







We stopped for a picnic, they were excited...no really, they were!

Taking a hike

The boys said "Look it's Chip..or Dale!" haha!




Doesn't do it justice......


Cripple Creek..neat old town

Victor....another neat old town

We took a different route home....a 29 mile dirt road. Yep, 29 miles!!!  May not do it again, but glad we did one time.

Love how the landscape changes

Oh...and we found a tarantula

What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday!   How blessed we are to live in such beautiful place.
