Sat. the 12th was a cloudy, showery day - one of my favorites! These days are full of mood and mystery. The colors are richer, the air more invigorating. So it was that Ouray and I set out for a walk. After all, it was only drizzling lightly off and on...
Here you can see the wonderful view that greeted us that morning. This is looking east, down to the Shenandoah property below us (want to buy this land? go here:
http://shenandoahranchsandiego.com/details.html you can learn the interesting history - incl. gold mining - and see more photos than you'd care to...!). The clouds were obscuring Volcan, as well as the Henshaw valley below. The "window" effect that was created reminded me of Sitka, Alaska. Gorgeous. Not quite as green and not nearly the amount of water, but still a cool look.
And here is a peek into an oak forest glade a little ways down our driveway.
Ouray in the mist...(and muddy driveway)
Lord of the Rings forest...
Down to the paved portion...
Poplars in the mist... (there's a lot of stuff in the mist today!!)
Poor Ouray. We got to the road and walked out about a half mile before turning around. It was at this point that the rain began....and yes, in earnest, as they say! We were both soon drenched, although the rain was only about 3/4 mile's worth. But does that stop Mommy from getting the camera out, wiping off the filter, and making the dog wait for the photo to happen? Hell no! You gotta feel sorry for his lot in life at times...
And we're back! Soggy and a bit chilled but happy!
