Golden Heaven On The Colorado River!

Wee Wet Wild Flower

When I only have ten minute breaks in between a full day of sessions

Eating lunch and snacks look like:

You imagine your beloved three hundred years from now. They will be nothing but ash. It may not take three hundred years; perhaps within thirty or fifty years you will both be ash. You suddenly realize how foolish it is to be angry and to argue with each other. Life is so precious.

Flash Mob at the Floradora Saloon

Telluride, Colorado

This group of enthusiastic tourists flash-mobbed me as I was making my way down the sidewalk with camera in hand in Telluride, Colorado.

Silverton, Colorado - August 1981 by Larry Syverson Via Flickr: I drove Colorado’s ‘million dollar highway’ from Durango to Silverson and Quary in August 1981. Being a flat-lander, the highway was very scary. A couple of times I wanted to turn around and go back. Fortunately, I didn’t. Silverton, Colorado in August 1981. It was worth the drive up!

Oh lord, to see a light, but fail in strength to follow

Sometimes it's hard to let it go

Oh lord, to fail in heart, and each day grow more hollow

Sometimes I just don't wanna know

But the road that led me here, it's begun to disappear

Sometimes I wonder where I am

Oh lord, to hear a voice, but let it fade and wallow

Sometimes it's hard to let it to

Oh lord, to find the words, but keep them in and swallow

One day the top is gonna blow

But the road that left me here, it's begun to disappear

Sometimes I wonder who I am

Oh lord, to stumble blind, for years without knowing

Sunrise has burned my eyes again

Oh lord, to crumble quiet, watching from the silence

Sunrise has burned my eyes again

It's a seven-story mountain. It's a long, long life we live. Got to find a light and fill my heart again

It's a seven-story mountain. It's a long, long life ahead. Got to find a voice and fill my throat again
