About five years ago our Girlfriend’s Ministry at church took a hike to Spud Lake. It was one of the most beautiful places I had ever been to. I have wanted Dw to see it, so finally, about six weeks back {and although I got the post all ready, I completely forgot to put it on}, Dw, Emma and Graham and I went for a hike. Two miles in and two miles out. Gorgeous terrain.
I love scenery, so I just had to share it with all of you…
Spud Lake reminds me kind of Alaska.
Breathtaking.
Peaceful.
Check out that dead tree! God even made dead trees intricately beautiful!
Look at it!
That’s Durango Mountain Ski Resort over there…see the ski runs?
I kept losing my balance….and laughing…
But if you look at the above picture closely,
Graham is leaning his knee into me….
and that’s what was making me lose my balance…
it took me about 2 minutes to figure it out…
goofy son!! He thought he was soooo funny!
Two of my favorite treasures….
And here is what the area looks like now…My dear friend had our boatload for dinner this past week …..{we had a blast I must add}… She lives up near Spud Lake…
Look at the aspens and scrub oak now!!
and yes, the mountains have been getting a fair amount of snow…
and this was taken near our home….
Dw and I call it eye candy…
We are soooooo blessed…..
Praise His glorious name forever!
Let the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and amen!
Psalm 72:19

Wow, this is sooo beautiful. My husband & I went to Colorado and stayed in a cabin for our honeymoon and it was beautiful. I can't wait to go back and we will definitely have to go see Spud Lake and I would love to hang out with your family for a day. What a blessing your blog is to me.
