Great shots. Sometimes I can’t believe I left the beauty of Colorado. But I was blessed to enjoy ten beautiful years of it. Nice lighting pic. Love the elk.

It looks like the air smells sweet! One thing I miss is the smell of that fresh air up north, I realized when I was up there recently.

I love Clematis. I haven’t taken any pics of clematis yet. Beautiful. I planted a purple one for my Dad after he died in Durango. He loved purple. I didn’t have the heart to dig it up and move it though.
Thanks for sending the Foxglove. I looked it up. I see them all over here. But keep forgetting to take a pic.
Are those all your roses? That’s beautiful. Sounds like a full days work. I would definitely come up and help. And I’m real cheap 
I can feel my back saying noooo 
though.
I got it great here. I just enjoy everyone else’s garden. Yesterday we were walking by this guy taking lemons out of his tree and he offered us as many as we wanted.

Living vicariously through your posts! I was born and raised in Santa Monica and miss it. Glad to see it’s still as pretty as I remember. I lived on Haverford Avenue in the Pacific Palisades
