(Mostly) Sunny Colorado

Went to Colorado last week, hoping for warm weather and sunshine. It was sunny when we got in and we spent the day just wandering around, then had dinner with friends. Friday morning, we took a walk on the High Line canal path.


Then we had lunch with another friend and saw some terrific photos from her Africa trip. After lunch, we headed to Boulder. Our hotel was the Boulderado, which opened in 1909. It's been renovated often since, but still keeps the flavor of the original.

On Saturday, we had quite a variety of weather. It started out sunny, but chilly. Then the clouds rolled in. This is the Flatirons from our hotel window:

The clouds didn't last long, though. It snowed a bit in the early afternoon, but by then the clouds were almost gone. This view is the late afternoon light on the Flatirons, again from our hotel window.
So all in all, we did get the Colorado sun I really wanted. I took a lot of pictures, so there will probably be more over the next few days...
