Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore.

Dream.

Discover.

Mark Twain

Fall Colour...

Thought I would share some of the photos I took while out riding my bike on Friday...the trees are really starting to turn and the weather has stayed gorgeous...


This is Lake Grant just above the condos where we live looking towards Crested Butte

and these were taken just up the road (it seems everything around here is up when you are on a bike!!!)
This one was taken from the edge of the lake in the first photo above
