Remember back in January and February when it was so cold and "Polar Vortex" was the catch phrase? Now that we have the other extreme and it's HOT! HOT! HOT! maybe we can cool off with this photo.

Winter Outing
Actually, it was late fall. November to be exact, when my BFF and I took a road trip to Estes Park. This was only one week after US Highway 34 was reopened at the devasting flash flood on September 11.
We started out at Lake Loveland.
It was a slow drive since the speed limit has been lowered because of the road repairs. As we came around a curve this is what we saw. I had to carefully apply the brakes because it was just so slick and I didn't want to hit any of the herd or go off into the river to my left. In the winter, the big horn sheep are drawn to the road because of the salt that is spread.
It was a lovely, albeit cold, day for a road trip. Not too much traffic and we did a bit of shopping at the yarn store in Estes Park.

Bare Trees
...
I was alone in the cold of a winter's day
I always think of this song in January.
If you want to hear the song, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpyDaI3I2Cg
It is a very old Fleetwood Mac song (before Stevie Nicks). Be patient as there is a very long lead-in.

Carter Lake, Colorado
The next photo was shot yesterday, Sunday, May 15 on the same camping trip to Carter Lake and is approximately the same view. If you look closely at both shots you will see the same buoy.
