A very pleasant ranch North of Durango, Colorado. This property was for sale at the time, but I would have been several million dollars short on the purchase price.

Another photograph of a ranch North of Durango, Colorado. I have to stop and look at this scene every time I pass it, but I especially enjoy it with the changing leaves and snow on the mountains.

I could not resist one more variation of this ranch North of Durango, Colorado

Paddle boats resting on Lynx Lake near Prescott, Arizona. Nesting eagles were off to the right of the photo. I got there while it was still dark, and watched as the area, and the campers came to life for the day. Small animals scampered by, and the fragrance of bacon cooking over a campfire was heavenly.
