A winter ride up the mountain - note the hat and thick motorcycle gloves!
Snow on the Continental Divide in the distance - a raindrop falling on one side is destined for the Pacific - on the other side it's heading for the Atlantic
Looking down on Boulder from about 6,500 feet.

This is an Aspen Tree - common in Colorado and the ski town of Aspen is named after it.

This particular one has the normal small, turning gold in autumn leaves up to a certain height but then the leaves become four times larger!

Can anyone explain this? the top was pruned in spring to keep it out of the gutters - is this relevant?
