Oh what a beautiful morning..

For our 2nd Saturday here in CO, 

Z & I decided to explore a bit.

We woke up early & made our way to 

a trail head to catch the sun hitting

the mountains as it rose.

Z, of course, was there to run, 

but I brought my hiking boots &

camera and ventured along a different path.

What I found was mountains, plains, 

floating hot air balloons, deer, flora,

rainbows, cyclists, runners, 

and a train coming 'round the mountain.

Spectacular.

After our morning exercise, we were both ready to eat.

We indulged a bit by having a large breakfast

at The Buff.

Then we realized that the Saturday morning

farmer's market was going on just down the road, 

so we meandered through the tents

drooling over all the produce.

We picked up some tomatoes, mushrooms & cantaloupe, 

but I couldn't resist snapping

this stunning display of jewel-toned beets!

Oh what a beautiful day.
