Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Good Fences and NF Winged
So far, I have only shown photos from the first couple of days of our vacation on Colorado.. I have so many more photos of scenery, animals and birds. I hope you do not mind tagging along on my trip once again..
We stopped at the Grand Lake Lodge for lunch, this is the view from the front porch. I see I found a good fence around the swimming pool.
A view of the pretty sky and clouds, gorgeous mountain scenery. Does a rock wall count as a fence?
I like this view of the mountains, the tundra plants and the fence.. I was snapping all kinds of fences in the Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park..
I am not sure if this is a crow or a common raven.. But, we found a few of them near the Alpine Visitor Center..
This was a trail located at the Medicine Bow Curve overlook.. Hubby and I walked along some, I was looking for the White-tailed Ptarmigan. No luck finding the bird.
This trail is called the Tundra Communities trail...located at the Alpine Visitor Center.. elevation 12,000 feet..The White-tailed Ptarmigan can be found there in the winter.. hiding in little snow caves..The sky on this shot above is beautiful.
A small lake scene along the Trail Ridge Road. In the corner of the photo you can make out another fence for Tex's Good Fence post..I told you I was finding all kinds of fences in the park..
I am not sure what kind of bird this is, we saw a flock of different birds moving along the trail we were walking on..It seems to have a rusty colored breast, too much for a bluebird or a robin?
We were on our vacation during the time of the supermoon.. This photo I believe was taken a day before the actual full moon..
I hope you enjoyed my post and photos

the rocks on the Tundra Communities trail look like sheep.
What an amazing lunch view! And I would love to walk that Medicine Bow Curve trail.
these are great shots, Eileen ... the skies out west are just amazing. so blue & clear. i think a stone fence is best. i prefer it actually. i love the 1st shot. it looks like a view i could enjoy ... wow wee!! nice one. ( :
Very nice pictures, of course.
Tomás.
You saw a variety of different kinds of fences, didn't you? Wish you could have seen that bird you were looking for but maybe next time.
Beautiful scenery- Colorado is one of my favorite places to visit.
i like all three of the fences and that view from the porch. oh my.. so beautiful. awesome views.
Such an awesome view! Looks like a wonderful place for a hike. I particularly liked the fence photo...been a long time since I've seen the Rocky Mountains!
Wonderful scenic shots Eileen, especially the one from the Grand Lake Lodge. It would be easy to linger there over a meal or a drink.What an unusual fence you found there alongside the rocks. Enjoy the rest of your week - see you on Saturday.
all nice shots
I wish I'd had more time during my western drive to get into Colorado
sigh
Great pix and really love that fence...open range style!...:)JP
That view from Grand Lake Lodge is just breathtaking!
The more photos of your trip, the better Eileen. I have thoroughly enjoyed them. I love traveling with you :) marvelous shots! Have a great day!
yes to stone walls and good fences of every kind! thanks, eileen!
Hi Eileen,
What a wonderful place to holiday.
The views are so beautiful.
The moon I find amazing.
what a great shot of the moon and i really like all the gnarled tree branches!!
Several neat fences and gorgeous scenery.
I could never get tired of seeing your photos of your Colorado. Not only are they beautiful, but they remind me of places we visited when we were there and give me places to visit if we make it back there.
Hi Eileen. Beautiful views you give us to enjoy! LOVE that fence, and your moon shot is terrific!
I believe this is a raven, I think they are quite common so high in the Rockies. Isn't this a wonderful area? This is a part of Colorado I like very much.
Wow: amazing moon shot, and not even at its fullest?
At 12,000 feet it must have been quite chilly. Won't be long and there will be snow.
Looks like great fun, Eileen. Beautiful photos!
You had me at the front porch view. Wow. Some beautiful scenery you've captured.
Terrific scenery! Looks like a great place for a vacation. Perfect moon shot too!
What glorious scenery and lovely shots.
Excellent collection of shots showing off the beauty of Colorado. MB
Great fences, Eileen! And, some awesome shots while in the Park. So different from the photos I took. Isn't it wonderful that there is so much to see and enjoy there. You could go back a hundred times and have a different experience each time!
What lovely country! I enjoy every time I've been through that way!
That first shot is just beautiful. Love the flowers giving a bit of color and the two colors of water.
I don't mind at all joining you on your trip as you share it. Such beautiful scenery. I like your fence shots. I enlarged the one with the cool rock formations and yes there was a fence there, a neat looking one too.
Brilliant photographs, Eileen! And you can bet that rocks count as fences in my book :)
Such beautiful country,Eileen. Thanks for sharing those pictures. The fence around the pool is really unusual and a benefit shot.
Love the scene in the first shot and also the moon
Rock walls most definitely make for Good fences. We need more rock fences. That Tundra Trail looks like it would get you wheezing. Thank you for visiting my Seedling Mile Good Fence.
I'd tag along with you any day, Eileen. You're "my kind of people" and enjoy many of the same things I do. So keep the Colorado photos coming!
Really marvelous photos, Eileen.
Beautiful scenery and some great fences.
What a wonderful trip! Thanks for sharing it here!
Beautiful sky and mountains and a great moon capture.
Nice place. I like the first shot very much !
Wow what great places for walking. Wonderful photos.
That moon shot is fantastic!!
Moon shot is spectacular and other series of shots are awesome! Happy Weekend!
praying through haiku
All fantastic shots, Eileen but my favorite is the first one.
Blue skies and wild places a perfect holiday.
Merle..........
Awesome views. Very lovely place on earth. Love your super moon shot too.
Hi Eileen, I did enjoy looking at this part of the world through your eyes. Awesome.
Diana
Superb captures of gorgeous places and beautiful skies!! The next best thing to being there, Eileen!! Thank you, as always, for sharing the beauty! Have a lovely weekend!!
Very pretty photos of my favorite state!
Lovely pictures of one of my favorite places. Just dropping in from Good Fences.
I don't know how anyone could not have many pictures of such beautiful scenery!
Birds and fences everywhere. I admire your diligence.
Thanks for the tour, Eileen! Not sure I would be doing much hiking at 12,000'!! Another great post.
Thanks for taking us to such a beautiful place!
Wonderful photos! All of them!
Beautiful scenes. Too bad you didn't find the bird, but there is always next visit, right? Beautiful moon, too.
Wonderful shots. I love those mountain views.
Hi! How beautiful your photos are! I like the blue sky and the supermoon photos especially. Thanks for sharing.
What a GRAD scale of nature Colorado has, Eileen♡♡♡ Enjoyed all the pictures, "the tundra plants and the fence" scene is very gorgeous and new to me.
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Hi Eileen,
Your photos are so lovely. What a pleasure to scroll through them.
I havn´t been to Colorado but love seeing it through your eyes. It looks beautiful and well worth a visit. :)
I 'm glad you had a wonderful vacation, Eileen! Amazing pics as always! Love the place you stopped by for lunch!
Hi Eileen, Exquisite Moon photo! I think your big black bird is a Raven. Don't know about that huffish tan bird. Have a fabulous weekend!
There's nothing more beautiful than the Rocky Mts! That little bird is so cute...wonder if it is some type of finch. We have a baby cardinal right now and it looks different than the adults. Fun to birdwatch wherever you go! Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!
Hi Eileen, Great group of photos...Loved your fences and sky photos... And that moon is beautiful.
Amazing how the terrain changes when you get "WAY" up there in elevation...
Hugs,
Betsy
Gorgeous pictures of one of my favorite places in the world. Hoping to be there for at least a few days later this fall.
Spectacular scenery! We have Rock Ptarmigan in mountainous regions of Northern Scotland - they are shy and their breeding grounds are difficult to access.
Could not resist looking...moon shot is awesome, and the scenery spectacular.
Beautiful scenery. Love the shot of the so very nearly full moon. It was cloudy here during the super moon event so we totally missed out. It's good to see some photos of those who were able to view it.
What gorgeous scenery, Eileen! I'd love to visit Colorado.
Wow!The fence shot is awesome
This is so beautiful, thanks for sharing it, I feel like going already.
