Posted on Tue, 30-Jul-2013Thu, 13-Nov-2014Dressed up My nephew is getting married. Family is in town and I am dressed up ready to go! Mom and I worked all day yesterday on the bouquets so we are ready to relax and enjoy ourselves. The bridal party with the bouquets Future photographer The florists – what a project! I attempted to grow the flowers but reality was a different story. We bought most and then in-filled with flowers grown from my volunteering connections. The rehearsal dinner was a wonderful outdoor BBQ. A rare shot of the official photographer. The Roys had not been together in quite a while.
Posted on Thu, 28-Feb-2013Wed, 12-Nov-2014Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Febuary Standing near an amazing and large opuntia cactus at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden – a very nice break for us from family on a rather cool February day. What a little paradise! Beautiful blooms soften the spines. These are large trees that dominate the island of Cuba This Chapungu sculpture was one of my favorites when it was at the Denver Botanic Gardens. These Zimbabwe Stone Sculptures are quite magnificent. There is a permanent home to some of them in Loveland, Colorado at the Chapungu Sculpture Park.

Posted on Wed, 05-Dec-2012Tue, 01-Jan-2013Visiting Red Rocks Amphitheater & Park – Denver The youngest nephew and his girl came to visit. Great weather for early December. Remembering our concerts we had seen there: Peace Love and the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. It has been a healthy year for us. We both got into cycling again did many 27 mile workouts to Cherry Creek State Park. Such gorgeous Colorado scenery!
Posted on Sun, 26-Aug-2012Fri, 14-Nov-2014USA Pro Challenge Colorado’s Professional Bike Race 2nd Year A fan waiting at the finish line in Colorado Springs on Friday to catch the riders coming in from Breckenridge http://www.usaprocyclingchallenge.com/route Don’t you wish you owned that bike?!!! We got up early to see the start Saturday in Golden and then went up to downtown Boulder to watch the riders come through before the final ascent. We also got our picture in the Boulder Camera blog http://dailycamera.smugmug.com/News/Pro-Cycling-Challenge-Stage-6/24961948_52NqfG/5 We got close to the start for the Time Trial in Denver Civic Center Park (with the professional photographers) under wilting, scorching, unbelievable heat – but was great to be able to cheer on each rider and see them (and their bikes) up close. Good fun!
