This is probably one of the most recognized landmarks in the city…

I had to go past the old neighborhood and take a couple of shots of the house I grew up in.

The neighborhood changed so much, I wouldn’t have been surprised if it were gone.  But it wasn’t, and it was good to bring back some of the old memories…

I even had a chance to have dinner with an old high school friend, Jay.  It was so good remembering the old times…

All in all, a good time, probably a little too much alcohol and food, but worth it…  Now, back to the diet…

Interesting big blue bear in front of the Colorado Convention Center.

I took the opportunity to get up into the mountains and also visit some parks.

I didn’t get many pictures, due to the snow storm.  These are 4 pictures stitched together.

It was really cold and snowy.  Down in Denver, it was 51 degrees, but up in the mountains, it was 26 degrees and snowing.  Some of the roads in the Rocky Mountain National Park were closed due to the weather.

But, right before you get into the park, the herd of elk are grazing along the road.  I stopped for a while and shot some pictures.  They didn’t seem to mind the vehicles stopping and taking pictures.

I haven’t had much time lately to shoot pictures.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to get back down to Florida next week and finish up the final touches on the exhaust system and other lagniappe on the dive boat.  Maybe some more great pictures along the water…

Water reflection and snow just makes this shot…

This guy is such a coconut.  They say that, out of all the animal pictures on the net, the cat takes the most.  He likes having his picture taken and can come up with some expressions…

Has your typical barn and silo.  All the necessary ingredients for some great photography.

And, the little pond across the way is picturesque in the sunrise.  The rooms are incredible, to say the least.  Nice place to relax, take some pictures and enjoy the country…

I caught it setting along the tops of the near islands.  There were sooo many stars.  This was a 90 second exposure on a tripod.

I’m up already, so, I waited for the sunrise and got some shots of it as well.

I tried to get several angles…  hey, I had at least 15 minutes…

I ventured to the other side of the island and explored the cove.  There were many howler monkeys making alot of noise, but hidden in the tree tops.

And…  the original intent was a little relaxation as well…  The guy who invented the hammock was a genius.

Tomorrow is another travel day back to Panama City.  Then, from there, back to the great white north and…  I believe the forecast is for snow…

The snow is colder than I remember.  It’s also less fun.

This is an HDR shot of the same scene.  Well, this coming week, I’ll be home, in David for Christmas.  It’ll be so nice to get back.
