Breckenridge
Gray skies, cool temperatures and occasional attention-getting breezes didn't lessen the enjoyment of the day trip to Breckenridge. For me the highlight of the day was eight of us sitting around an outdoor table at a crepe stand with jackets zipped tight, drinking coffee, talking and relishing the chilly mist that was falling from the clouds.

The mountain to the west of Breckenridge, Colorado. We heard that Monday was the last day of the ski season. (Larger version)

As I wandered around the town I came upon the river walk and this sign referencing Robert Tully's "A Miner's Dream". (Larger version)

The boulder of Blue River Pattern is almost submerged by the high water from the snow melt. (Larger version)

A weather display in the museum at Breckenridge's visitor center. This was, and is, a gardener's dilemma: only 30 frost free days per year! As I walked about town I enjoyed the blooming daffodils and tulips. (Larger version)
