We spent last week in the Vail Valley.

Vail Valley flowers

It was literally 35 degrees cooler there than here when we arrived.

35 degrees.

One of my favorite things about vacation is just taking pictures.

Colorado flowers

I probably have 100 pictures of orange poppies only rivaled by the number of pictures of pink poppies only rivaled by the number of pictures of mountains only rivaled by the number of pictures of my boys.

I just can’t help it.

I want to scoop it all up and take it home with me.

Except that it all wouldn’t survive.

Those 35 degrees are important ones.

  1. Gorgeous! Jealous of that 35 degrees. We went tropical and when the hotel folks would ask if we were hot, we were like “This? This is practically a day in the park. It’s lovely!”

  2. I LOVE the pictures.
    I am also from Dallas (well North a little as it is up in Plano) and you are so right we NEED some cooler weather or at least some rain.
    Your pictures are some of the prettiest I have ever seen………hugs..deb

  3. so beautiful! I have summer envy, since everything here goes brown and dies in the 110 degree heat
