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

Summer nights in Crested Butte

The cool and cloudy autumnal weather we have been having (which bodes of nothing so much as snow) produced a beautiful sunset last night and were able to grab some photos.
























Thankfully we didn't have snow here in CB (I think I would have been suicidal) but it did snow in Summit County (Breckenridge, Frisco etc) and I heard reports of snow up Washington Gulch, just out of town...


We also spotted the bear that has been raiding our trash a few nights ago. Nick grabbed the camera and was able to get the critter on film (well OK, on memory card) as he moseyed across the road and headed for his evening snack...

















I guess we learned that you have to have more light to take a photo like that...!!!! Here is the "smart adjust" version...












Oh well. We will just have to keep an eye out for him again tonight...!

As the World Turns Premieres (1956)

For 20 of those years, it was most-watched daytime drama in the US. What interrupted a live broadcast of the show in 1963? More... Discuss
