Enjoy my pictures from Saturday!
A little bit of red bursting through the green and gold.
People in Colorado can be so weird. This is what we found in the mountains near St. Mary's Glacier.

The
L.A. Night Sky
Anna
lived in Los Angeles her whole life. She had left the city before but
just to visit other large cities such as Chicago and New York. Her
whole life revolved around the big lights and sounds of L.A. One
night, as Anna sat on her back patio watching the twinkling lights of
the never sleeping city, she heard a loud surge and all the lights
went out. The world around her was completely dark and for a minute
it was also silent. Cars crashed and people started yelling trying to
figure out what was going on. Anna was terrified. She had never been
in complete darkness before. She didn't even own a flash light. As
she searched around for some answers she noticed the night sky. The
sky was littered with glowing lights. She had never seen anything so
beautiful yet so terrifying! It had to be aliens and she needed
backup so she called the police. Quickly the police were at her home
because she said she was scared and it was an emergency.
“What
can we help you with ma'am?” asked one officer.
“Oh
thank you so much for coming!” Anna caught her breath and
explained, “The city lights went out and I believe it is because
aliens are coming.”
“We
have a non-emergency, possibly drug or alcohol related,” radioed
the other officer back to command.
“Ma'am,
you are only supposed to call 911 for emergencies. You are wasting
our time. If we receive a call like this again from you we will give
you a ticket.”
“I
am being serious! Look in the sky! Don't you see the glowing lights?”
Anna was frantic, “Those are aliens. It has to be! Why else would
the lights go out and those lights in the sky appear?”
“There
was an accident that took out the lights for a large area. The lights
in the sky you are seeing are stars, not aliens ma'am. Please just go
inside and wait for the energy company to fix the problem.
Goodnight,” responded one of the officers.
“Can
you believe this?” said the one officer to the other as they walked
away.
“Maybe
aliens should attack L.A. with clueless people like that here!”
they laughed and walked away as they chuckled at a girl who had not
ever seen stars before.

The
Story of the Trees
Hundreds
of years ago, the trees lived in harmony in the untouched mountains.
They danced in the wind and soaked up endless hours of sun. As the
years progressed the trees began to notice a new creature. These
beings were people. They gathered leaves and branches for various
things but for the most part left the trees alone. People soon began
coming in larger masses. The trees grew concerned and tried to sprout
a greater force of greenery throughout the forests. People came in
droves with wagons and cattle. Horses helped create paths and roads
as people cut down the trees in the way. The surviving trees mourned
their lost. Eventually people settled in the forests and began paving
roads. Mountain sides were blasted away and thousands of trees were
hauled off to their deaths. The trees ached for their loss. Now the
surviving trees stand by the roads, watching over the land where
their families were destroyed. They see children with their parents
heading out to camp. They see young adults road tripping to the
coast. They see happy people enjoying the scenery that is left. The
trees still mourn their loved ones atop the mountains high in the
clouds but they stay strong in their roots that the memory never be
forgotten of quieter times in the land.
