Friday Field Trip - Back to Florissant

First - don't forget the contests. Deadlines to enter are this weekend.
Second - Happy Friday the 13th.

Yesterday, hubster and I went on a drive through some of the back county roads, saw two wild turkeys and went back to the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument to walk the Petrified Forest loop again.

I know I posted pictures from there once before, but I thought it might be interesting to do it again. Unlike Florida, there are SEASONS here, and the difference between June and August is noteable. Besides, it's just a darn pretty area. And hubster was happy because it's been raining a lot, and there were mushrooms. One Friday, I'll get him to share his hobby.

If you're interested in comparing the views, the original post is here.

  4. Mason, no problem. We had a great walk, it was gorgeous, so why not share?

    TerryS - Yep - a very welcome change from Central Florida.

    Carol - We're already significantly cooler than down in the Springs. I'm waiting to see the aspens turn--we have a grove of them right off our deck. It was amazing to watch how fast they went from "sticks" to full-leaf. Days.

  6. Terry,

    We have a lot in common. We both write mystery and romance, and we both love the Colorado mountains. Smile.
