Awesome pic's young lady, thank's for sharing with us. I absolutely love black duck's, and think a mature drake, while viewed by many as plain, is the most handsome of all duck's...
A Trek into the Wilderness...
28
Well, I haven't been around as much lately--School has started and it's hectic!
I wanted to take a moment to give you (and myself) a small visit to the Rocky Mountains, which we live 45 min. away from
Enjoy!
First, we stop at my favorite coffee shop: Coffee on the Rocks, which looks out at a beautiful lake full of ducklings and fresh mountain air. The cobblestone paths are sprinkled with colourful wildflowers, and there is no sound but that of a breeze in the pines and aspens.

After a breakfast of hot chai tea and an breakfast sandwich on ciabatta, we walk over to the adjacent rock shop, which is surrounded by flowers and beautiful crystals. There is a small garden of petrified wood which has accumulated small microclimates:

Inside, there are dimly-lit geodes and exotic rocks that shimmer when you pass by.

After the stop at the glittering rock shop, we take a short ride deep into the mountains, where we can hike up to some beautiful waterfalls and refreshing spots for a picnic.

As you hike back to your car in the late afternoon, a patch of red berries catches your eye...

Thank you, RandyAwesome pic's young lady, thank's for sharing with us. I absolutely love black duck's, and think a mature drake, while viewed by many as plain, is the most handsome of all duck's...
I'm glad you enjoyed them! I also love ducks, these were just so pretty! Thanks NickAww, such beautiful scenery and this is the kind of place where I'd wanna retire. I can just taste the Rocky Mountain air and springs from these pix.
Btw, what kind of rock is that you're holding? From first glance of its color and shape, it looked like a giant Hershey's Kiss.
I believe it is some sort of "Peacock Ore" which is actually called Bornite? I'm not sure on this one It would be a great place to retire
Thank you, Deb

The water was indeed icy cold, we dip our feet in it too along with the drinks
