November 6 - Denver library

We went to Denver to visit the library for the first time. I think we spent 4 hours there, probably more. It was warm, with very big windows and nice view to the Veteran's parade outdoors. I want to go again!
Lovely day! And we tried a Peruvian restaurant for the first time. Loved it!

November 5 - Blurry snapshot

Sometimes we just have to accept that not all moments are picture perfect and live with it. At the darkness of the restaurant and with the weight of the camera, this is all I got. A happy blurry snapshot of our lives together, my sweety and me.

October 23 - Fall for a little longer

With the strong winds this week, most trees lost their leaves to the ground, so before it was too late, I've decided to keep fall a little longer.
I went outside and took a wicket basket and filled with the fall colors to take them indoors. I know that in a day or they will call curl and dry, but at least I make fall last longer indoors.

October 22 - Red fall

Despite my early bad mood, my friend and I went downtown to photograph fall colors before they were gone.I love the red leaves close to her house. We don't get to see red colors as much in Colorado as people do in the east. Just beautiful.I will miss fall.
