Before the Storm


Saturday I took advantage of a warm weekend to go hiking at the Centennial Cone Park.  My younger son and I enjoyed a stroll through the rolling hills west of Golden.




Sunday, after hearing that a winter storm was approaching, I took pictures to capture the doomed floral beauty.





I have neglected the blog during the part two months, in favor of catching up on my reading.  I finally finished reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (not to be confused with War and Pizza by Robert Allen).  The celebrated Russian novel had defeated me on a previous attempt decades ago -- I always forgot the names of the many characters and it was too hard to retrace through the chapters to get back in sync.  This time, however, I carefully kept a running list of the major characters, their titles, and their nicknames and never got lost.
