“To see takes time, like to have a friend takes time,”
Georgia O’Keeffe
I enjoyed my day with Earl and Bonnie yesterday and we made it a full day. Since we did not sign up in time for the timed entry into Rocky Mountain National Park we made some adjustments on the tour. Earl did the driving while I shouted directions. The tour included spotting three Bighorn Sheep in a meadow and able to take a few images. We made it a loop up to Estes Park, Allenspark, Lyons, then back down through Loveland, and Fort Collins. We stopped several times including a nice Restaurant called La Mariposa in Lyons for lunch. The tour also included include showing a couple of the Naturala Areas I visit. We were not able to meet up today but I will have breakfast with them in the morning. They are wonderful, warm, and good people which makes for rich, deep and open conversations. It’s nice to meet our virtual friends face-to-face. I wish we could have had more time.

We had such a wonderful day with you Monte and thanks to you we saw some incredible sights. Next time, and there will be a next time, we will do a better job of planning our time together!
I learned Lily Lake was created more than 10,000 years ago from a melting glacier and was named for the abundance of lilies that once grew in the area: Inquiring minds had to know !
