Everything about it, except maybe the cold dead people water, Greenland HA! Even that was incredibly beautiful. The wildflowers you show, the white, looks like the annual gysophilia, and orange wallflower, erysimum, were like a dream. You must be having, or had the very best vacation ever! :-)<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-38250154025402581332009-08-14T09:15:15.772-04:002009-08-14T09:15:15.772-04:00Linda,

You just open the door and there they were.<br /><br />Jan,<br />I really enjoyed looking up at the sky. I just had to remember to stop walking while I was looking up.<br /><br />Phillip,<br />I like Lupines a lot, and learned early on in my gardening that they are a waste of time and money here in Tidewater.<br /><br />Joan,<br />It was anything but hot there. They day we left it was a chilly 39 in the morning.<br /><br />Sarah,<br />It actually reminded me a lot of Maine, we even got to see moose.<br /><br />Christopher,<br />I agree that perhaps it was enhanced, however there were enough growing elsewhere to make the whole place look like a garden.<br /><br />Anna,<br />How lucky you were to live in Co. Springs, although I imagine your "employer" kept you very busy. Stay tuned there will be more posts from Co.<br /><br />Merryweb,<br />Thank you for stopping by and for the compliments. Please come back again.<br /><br />Lost,<br />Yes it is a banner year. When we were there in 2004, it was also a good year. Then we had a chance to go camping up in Gothic Valley near Crested Bute, and it was like camping in a flower bed.<br /><br />LesLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-86737824044033217212009-08-13T23:51:47.619-04:002009-08-13T23:51:47.619-04:00Les, what a great group of photos of Grand Lake.

And they may have helped enhance that wildflower meadow but on the other hand this is a banner year for wildflowers in the mountains. I'd say you captured it all!LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-80449655522276946482009-08-13T23:16:25.929-04:002009-08-13T23:16:25.929-04:00I am a Williamsburg follower who wants you to know...I am a Williamsburg follower who wants you to know how much I enjoy your gorgeous photographs!

I love hearing you tell it. <br /><br />You make me miss Colorado. We lived in Co.Springs for 4 years at the USAFA. Living at 7,000 feet with the whole of the prarie in front of you and the Rockies behind you--is burned in my memory forever. <br /><br />It's so pretty and you are doing it proud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-55552558038501861662009-08-13T19:26:04.605-04:002009-08-13T19:26:04.605-04:00Beautiful.
