Dragonflies Aug 13, 2020

 Let the rocks fly, and then to the dragonflies

Just had to throw a rock in the water

to see the slash

And there were hundreds of them

Local photo ops

 Which way did that bug fly?

Afternoon trip into the mountains

So my wife and I went for a picnic in the 

mountains to the East of us 

and I took a few images while we were there.

Just having a little fun.

Mesa Verde Trip continued McElmo Creek Flume

The morning we had planned to enter

Mesa Verde National Park

it had snowed in the park the night before

and we were told that it was closed.

So we went back to Cortez for a few hours 

until it would open. 

On the way back we stopped at two places near town.

This one was a wooden flume that had 

carried water for irrigation 

and parts of the flume are still there having survived a flood

that had done extensive damage to it.

 The wooden fence still had some of the ice 

on it and the water had given it a 

beautiful color.
