This mornings sunrise was completely different than the day before. Clouds filled the sky and the stars were not to be seen. I arrived at a new location and was greeted with the same quiet as the previous morning. The quiet is amazing to experience, especially for us city dwellers. But before I knew it the desert awoke with the songs of cactus wrens breaking that silence. I would not see the sun rise over the horizon on this morning. Yet, nature gave me a small bit of pink to enjoy.
I should be picking up Paul Lester today and taking him up to Mount Evans, 14,000 feet. This way he can look to the east and see all of Nebraska he just drove through. We hope to meet up with John Strong for a bite to eat sometime in the afternoon or evening.

We changed plans and did not get up to Mt. Evans but spent some time in Golden, CO. I actually had never been downtown area and will need to make another trip there. I like it. It’s a bit difficult not to have a good time around Paul. Most importantly, we did not get caught. 🙂

Thanks for the ride, Monte! It was a great time sitting and chatting with you. I appreciate your hospitality. Now, it’s time for sleep! 🙂

No problem, Paul. I was good to talk about family, photography and get in some good old philosophical conversations. And, laughter always adds a bit of spice. Travel safe going home.
