It's all about perspective

Cornwall on Hudson, NY- July, 2010

When this photo was taken, back in July, we lamented the lack of rain; how were we to grow the massive trees the nursery promised us? Then we visited Red Rocks Colorado and realized even the biggest trees look small in comparison to their surroundings

IS IT JUST US?
and her proud grandmother

Littleton, CO - August, 2010

Not even a little resemblance between our daughter and the former first daughter? Well, never mind, her grandmother thinks so and what else matters?

Return to paradise on Tuesday, followed by fall foliage. Enough with people pictures for a while.

"So what's a nice barn like you doing in a place like this...?"

Morrison, CO- August, 2010

What a timeless pick up line. Anyway I was surprised to find what was quite clearly a typical Vermont red barn way out in the middle of the Red Rocks Mountain park. Maybe it vacations in Colorado in the summer. This shot was taken August 15 where the temperature was 84 degrees with absolutely no humidity to be found anywhere.

Another shot of a red barn in Vermont- back where it belongs...

THERE'S NO SCHOOL LIKE OLD SCHOOL...

Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY - September 2010

My son has embraced the 'no school like old school' theory only when it pertains to classic cars and probably would espouse just 'no school' if he thought he could get away with it.

That certainly wasn't his outlook on the first day of kindergarten eight years ago. Look at the difference in his expression.

Our daughter, who seems to favor purple as an opening day school color, couldn't get out of the picture fast (sadly fast being the operative- no pun intended- word here) enough to drive 'her' car to the high school and start senior year.

Time (like Kelsey's driving) seems to go entirely too fast.
