Quite impressive
I look to be
At least
Six – eleven
Tall enough
To
Touch heaven
Well maybe not
I’m just
Five – seven

Tantalizing
When
Indulged
Secretly
Like
Chocolate
Silky
Sweetness
Dissolving
On the

Ticket To Ride
‘All aboard’ he cried
Departure time’s nigh
Come rain or shine
We’ve mountains to climb
Chugging along
Sure and strong
Plenty of steam
To traverse that stream
Clickity-clack
Down the track
Past river and pine
All in good time
No hurry to arrive
Savor being alive
Like days of old
In the rush for gold
My husband and I rode the
Durango & Silverton train
as part of our 30th anniversary
celebration. It was a wonderful
journey we had long anticipated.

Home Away From Home
My husband and I have been visiting Estes Park, Colorado
and nearby Rocky Mountain National Park since 1981.
We were there in 1982 a few weeks before the Lawn Lake flood
in the park, which sent water barreling down the main drag
of Estes, while creating an alluvial fan and small lake within
RMNP.
We were there in 1991 when RMNP turned 75 and again in
2016 for RMNP’s 100th anniversary and our 40th year of
marriage.
We witnessed the devastation of the September, 2013 flood which
transformed the alluvial fan and recreated a small lake in RMNP
after all those years.
Just like our own lives, RMNP continues to evolve. Nothing can
remain the same.
The mountain vista view in this photo is one of my favorite places
within the park.
The wood bridge rails have been replaced with railroad ties, which
don’t have near the same ambience, in my opinion.
Nonetheless, each time I stand there and gaze into that picture
perfect mountain postcard, I know without a doubt that I am
home again.
