Merry Christmas

We got nostalgic and splurged on a real, cut, Christmas tree from a nifty tree lot nearby. It was a flat rate for any tree; of course we got the tallest one they had. Even at 8ft, it felt tiny amidst the 14ft ceiling in our place so we mounted it atop a speaker cabinet to get it up to 11ft. Homemade decorations and a robot angel on top. Tis the season!

Rocky Mt NP- Deer Mountain

Itching to get out of town, I drove up to Rocky Mt Natl Park for a quiet solo hike up Deer Mountain. Not much snow on the Front Range yet, so no need for the snowshoes I brought along. Blustery snow front blew in as I reached the summit, snapped a couple quick shots and jammed back down. Nice hike, nice workout, nice Saturday afternoon.
