Rocky Mountian Musings

Last week Wonder Woman (also known as my beautiful wife) & I went to a friends wedding in Colorado and spent a little vacation time out there. On a beautiful day I sat on a large rock in a fast moving mountain stream in Rocky Mountain National Park and wrote some of the following.

Gushing water down a mountain stream. Water flowing in endless detours around rocks and trees, eddies abound. Bright, hot, altitude sun shines its face on the the churning waters.

Water spitting. Seemingly jumping out of the water as if raining. As if saying hello to the flat topped rock with curious black circles on it.

Rainbow trout sunning in a shallow side pool. It's speckled back showing different hues as the rippled water runs over the him. Tail moving slightly to stay in place. Oblivious or unafraid of my presence, perched on this rock overlooking this wonder of creation, this rainbow trout.

Squirrel squirting about. Darting around tree limbs & rocks. Miniature squirrel. Skittering across the dead tree. The tree that fell across the stream acting as a bridge.

Butt sore. Sitting on this rock too long.
