Wanna Go For a Hike?

There is a saying that I see in Colorado all the time that says...
"If your lucky enough to live in the mountains, you are lucky enough."
I would prefer to say...
"If you are blessed enough to live in the mountains, you are truly blessed!"

I feel abundantly blessed to live in Colorado, where every morning I can see Pike's Peak out of my front window. It looks different every time you look at it and it never ceases to amaze me! The past couple of weeks, Dave and I have had the privilege of spending time in our favorite vacation location in the Rocky Mountains.
Yesterday we took an incredible hike that showed how amazing and creative our God truly is. I thought you might to take a little hike with me! I wish I could share all of the beauty we saw with you, but here are a few pics here I can share with you.
(Thanks to my hubby and his excellent photography skills) The wildflowers were stunning! This is a Rosy Paintbrush. And above is an Alpine Sunflower
A Wyoming Paintbrush above and all different flowers below! Lakita and I are sitting and enjoying all of the colors. This side of the mountain was a blanket of color. (You may have to click on the picture to get in a little closer and see all of the different colors.) We started hiking at 6:15 in the morning, and saw lots of birds and wildlife too. It ended up being a 6 hour hike by the time we got back, but we sat and relaxed and tried to take in all of the beauty.
Dave relaxing with Lakita! It was a great day, and I wish you could have been there to enjoy it all, but hopefully this gives you a little taste of heaven!
Well I have to run! Lakita says it's time to log off! Thanks for joining me on today's hike! I hope it has inspired you, as it did me, to worship our amazing Creator!

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1 NIV
