So many people already complimented you on your writing, so I am not going to be redundant. BUT, how about the photos, did you take those? Either you took them or not, they are great too, and they go great with your writing. :P and again, thanks for sharing your thoughts, they do resonate with many of us. :)
oh thats awful i am usually not so careless. yes, they are my photos, and i take many, tho in winter its more difficult. i think i need some isotoner thin gloves so my fingers do not suffer. colorado is beautiful in all seasons; i love the starkness of winter as the sun sets.
Well, they are both superb, especially with the writing. Great story telling from all sides!! :)
