One of the great things about living in Colorado are the mountain views. Folks like us living in Longmont are particularly lucky to have this view of the “Twin Peaks”, Mt. Meeker (13,911 ft) on the left and Longs Peak (14,255) on the right. Longs Peak is Colorado’s northern most fourteener.
It has been nearly three years, but I’m still very proud to say that I’ve stepped foot atop Longs Peak. I blogged about it here and aside from a few quick photos I posted back then, have yet to really do anything with that photo set (hmmm… I guess I’ll have to take care of that).
So, this photo I took out at Golden Ponds, where my father-in-law has a membership and he likes to take the kids fishing (and I get to come along, occasionally). Nothing remarkable about this photo, other than the fact that, it is easy to get used to such a spectacular view and take it for granted. I don’t. I love to see the sun light up Longs peak in the mornings, and I’ll post other shots I’ve taken soon.
