Mountain house


We've just returned from a three-day stay at my brother Joe's mountain house. The house sits on 140 acres of secluded woods near Idaho Springs. The house is only 45 minutes west of Denver, but a world away from the stresses of daily life. We arrived during the peak of the autumn colors as you can see for yourself.

Maroon bells

We are currently taking a short road trip through the mountains of Colorado. Today's destination: the Maroon Bells near Aspen. Perhaps you can see why these are among the most photographed peaks in all of North America.
