Back in Naples

Apologies all around. My excuses for not posting until now are: transition from Colorado to Florida, having to purchase a new laptop, and finally, I was in a multi day art workshop. I know, I know, a little lame.
I'm still learning how to use the new laptop and also needing a new home for my photos, so experimenting with programs. Actually I strongly dislike this part, always feel a little like the kid who didn't do his homework and sits in class with no comprehension of what's going on. Technology- you love it, you hate it.

Maybe he'll watch over the house while we're gone
Here are some of the last photos taken before we left. Here's hoping for a good snowfall winter there.

After leaving snow it was quite the shock to come down to near record high temps which means 91high and 79 low. Whoa.  Finally a break in the last few days: high 87, low 70. Hahaha you say. Well, I'll be the one laughing when it's 75 and perfect beach weather when it's snowy and freezing in most parts of the country. We will experience a bit of that frozen bit however, as it will be Christmas at Star Mt. again this year. It is pretty magical at holiday time. And that will be here before you know it. Aaugh!

The endings

Aaaah - the beauty and the magic that surrounds us. The peak of color has passed and swirling leaves are the story of the day.

One of my favorite feathered friends - red tail hawk. They are extra prolific right now. Before the rodents go down underground for winter?

Crested Butte



And the snow dusting on the peaks has started. The high altitudes (we're that already) but this is the really high altitude (above 10,000 ft). Some snow to start hitting our ground is predicted in the next few days. Right before we leave. I told you seasons change fast around here...

Our cowboys are rounding up the cattle for the season. Bye bye...Next, closing up the house and heading down to Florida. Now there's a big shift...
