I have been very slowly going through my entire Lightroom catalogue trying to get the number of photos in it to a more manageable number. There are many trips over the years that I have not really culled through. Along the way, I have identified many photos that allow me to relive each experience and find some photos that I wanted to edit and post. This week, I will be posting some of those photos.
When we plan a trip, we try to visit places during the months May, June, September and October. The crowds are thinned out, the weather is usually not too hot or cold, and many of the seasonal businesses are either just opening up for the summer or have not yet closed for the winter. This works the majority of time, but, once in a while, mother nature has a surprise for you. This was the case when we visited Colorado a few years ago in June. We had spent some time in the western part of the state and the weather was wonderful. The last few days of the trip was going to be in Rocky Mountain National Park before we headed home. We stayed overnight in Vail and found out that there was going to be some snow the next day. We had planned to drive up the west side of the Rockies, over them, and head to Denver. We found out that the road over the Rockies was closed due to the weather. Undeterred, we drove up the east side as far as we could go. Along the way, we stopped to shoot some images that showed the snow over the valley.
