Rocky Mountain National Park ~ Fall Color

Rocky Mountain National Park

Of the two

dirives we took 

this year to see leaves,

this one was 

more successful.

We caught the 

tail end of the leaves

in RMNP.

You can see the front moving in.

In fact we just barely made it.

Our drive

home was quite slippery

(I'll post those pics soon).

We did stop and get some lovely  

family photos though before leaving the park(look out for those as well).

I want to call 

this year

the year 

of the butterfly.

For what ever reason, this year we saw hundreds of these beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies.

Tamales Moreno ~ The Place to Satisfy your Tamale Cravings

Tamales Moreno

One thing I 

can never get

enough of 

is a well made tamale

perfect in it's blend of spices.

Love, Love, Love tamales.

Something else

I love is 

the unique art 

and decore

a person finds

in random restaurants.

A little ambient

spice

never hurts 

the tasting experience.

Every year

we try to take in 

a little bit 

of fall color.

As you can see

a cold snap

dropped most of 

the leave before we got there.

Timing is everything when it comes to mountain leaves.

One day they can be green,

another day they might turn beautiful shades of gold, orange, and red,

and another they might be gone.

All the while Denver could have not even the slightes 

hint of 

changing leaves.

Next time around,

I hope I catch this 

beautiful little Ghost Town in full color.
