We always look forward to our first sight of the mountains as we arrive in Colorado. This year, the skies weren't as crisp and clear as usual and so the moutains were just faintly there in the distance. There was still smoke in the air from the terrible fires near Colorado Springs.
But happily it was clearer when we reached our destination (our kids' home). The picture below is Golden Pond near where they live:
I always love this walk. Both because the pond area is so lovely and because the flat, relatively easy walk helps me get acclimated to the altitude. (There are excellent paved walking paths.)
Below is another picture from our latest visit to Rocky Mountain National Park.

This is the way we like to think of the Colorado sky.
I hope it will look like this from now on — with no more smoke!
