first postcards from colorado

  another flight, smooth sailing all the way until the roller coaster landing onto denver's runway.  such turbulence:  you can see thunderclouds looming over an airport that reminds me of vast circus tents.   a two hour shuttle ride to frisco, an overnight stay with my beloved robin (with his wounded wing on the mend after complicated surgery) at his new digs.  behind the three story condo rental are meadows that were left after beetle kill devastated vast tracts of forest, all over this state.  so sad.  yet, the beauty remains, and wild flowers bloom in profusion right now.

  a little blurry.  it was early.  jat lag prevails, as does the change in altitude:  robin lives at 9,035 feet; breckenridge rests at 9,600.    it feels very good to be back; it feels as though i left a few short weeks ago.   tomorrow, my colorado creations begin.  see what awaits?  xo

Awesome photos, Estrella Nina! So lovely that you get to be with one of your sons for a bit. Is that adorable bicycle your mode of transport there in the Rockies? ;0

Love the images you are sharing here Nina! I'm glad that your plane landed safely and that you are well on your way to creating more beautiful jewelry in such beautiful surroundings - I'm sure each piece will be a treasure in itself =-)

Enjoy your time with your wonderful son Robin!

It looks like a cozy place to spend two weeks. I'm glad you are able to be with Robin and again. The south actually had a break in the heat but not the humidity... never the humidity and now a thunderstorm. Enjoy and lose yourself in your creative ways. Sending love. Katey

Been busy in my own world-finally had a moment that I wanted to catch up on your world-like reading what an old friend has been up to. Glad to read your mother is fine after such a scare. have a wonderful Colorado time. I lived there for four wonderful years and found it such a healing place.

Welcome back! I've flown out of Denver in some horrible weather, myself. Glad the rest of your trip was good. Looking forward to seeing what effect your time in the Rockies had! :)
