Views From The Road

Today was the day of Moka's first haircut. She cried the entire way there and couldn't wait to get in the car on the way home. Normally she doesn't want to be in the car, so this was her way of saying, Let's run for our lives.

Our groomer works out of her house about 15 minutes east of here. The drive is so great, you feel like you are out in the country so quickly. On the way there I thought, man I wish I had my camera. Up in a tree I saw a huge eagle looking over the field, probably looking for lunch. So on the way back I brought it and got some shots I thought I'd share with you.

This tree was just so pretty. The white trunk was beautiful.

This dirt road leads to some place magical I bet.

Around each corner I kept finding John Deere tractors...

that is true country living for you. They live next to the dirt road above.

Aren't they lucky?

This view was all I saw on my way home!

I never take these mountains for granted.

Just as I turned I saw the Poudre River -

partially frozen with some ducks enjoying a swim.

Now these guys were hilarious. On the way out there was one dude standing to the left of the irrigation ditch. He looked like some kind of bovine chief... all the others were on the right walking toward him. It was some kind of power! Although not everyone was convinced to cross I see.

Just past the elementary school I found these pills. They are such

a nuisance. Who can stand the goose? With all that poop

and that attitude of, "Um crossing the street,

just hang on 10 minutes while I cross."

This last picture is about 3 blocks from our house. I have pulled over at this spot countless times to take pictures, mostly of sunsets... just ask my very patient family. God has painted many beautiful pictures for us including these mountains. What a creation!
