Just another lazy day...

My precious son... reading on the deck. He couldn't wait to get home from the library to start reading his books. After getting the table set up and his chair in place........ all was right with the world and he was ready to start reading. This is a picture of total contentment and relaxation.
Our first sign of autumn. The Crab Apple tree in the front yard started showing signs of the leaves changing a couple of days ago. With our nights being in the 40's and low 50's, I knew it was just a matter of time. Unfortunately the colors aren't showing as vibrant as they are in person. So pretty...
For the last few days we've experienced a lot of rain storms and lots of lightening and thunder. These are just some pics of the clouds that I took for my daughter, Jessica, who loves clouds and rainy days.

What I loved about this storm was the way the light played on the clouds...


and the shadows...
Pull up the picture to see Pike Peaks first snow of the season.
The clouds parted just enough this afternoon for us to see the snow.
