Colorful Colorado

One thing we've enjoyed in Colorado is all the wildflowers. Nancy and I went hiking today and were rewarded with an ocean of flowers everywhere. Lupine, Red Penstamine, Blue Bells, Indian Paintbrush, Fireweed, Wall Flowers, and Daisies were everywhere. It's no wonder they call it "Colorful Colorado!"

This was taken up at Mt. Falcon Park. We walked nearly the entire trail and enjoyed a beautiful day stopping for lunch on a perch over the city of Denver. A little further down the trail and we stopped at the old Walker mansion to see the ruins. Then, no sooner had we arrived at the car and it began to rain. The usual afternoon thundershowers showed up on schedule.
