Drive through Middle Earth

A little sweetness to start the day...
It was a beautiful day here on Saturday. We decided to take a drive on one of Colorado's Scenic Byways. The path took us up Mt Evans and through this beautiful Forest of Bristle Cone Pines, which date from 1500 -2000 years old. It really did make feel like we were somewhere in Middle Earth, I was almost expecting for Hobbits or Elves to peak out from around the ancient tree trunks. But we didn't seethem or any wildlife for that matter.. it was pretty cold and windy up there. close to the top...

Below, is Summit Lake close to the top of Mt Evans.
