pictures.....maybe too many - 03/11/20 10:30 PM
Last fall I thought I would post some pics from last summer in Colorado. Never got around to it. Then, I thought on a cold miserable winter day I would post some pics from last summer in Colorado. Never did it. Here we are in full-blown spring, the sandies are thick in the creeks and what am I doing?..........posting pics from last summer in Colorado. Some of the pictures are pretty. And some are interesting. I like looking at them so I thought I would go ahead and post them and hope that you like looking at them too.
The main attraction for the summer was water. Lots of it. Heavy spring snows left a deep snow pack that fed the creeks and rivers until well into August. Here's a pic of the Roaring Fork river taken August 2nd. The flow was 1,400 cfs. That's a lot of water for August 2nd.
But even with the high water, the fishing during the month of August was great!
Lot's of fish and lots of fun!
Here's a picture of a pretty stand of Aspen trees I drive through on the road that accesses several of the lakes I fish. In the fall they turn a beautiful gold and orange.
Well, not any more because along with lots of snow, you get avalanches. Those beautiful trees stand no more.
I will miss those trees.
