Living in Boulder since 1995 has been an amazing experience, especially when it comes to hiking. I never tire of finding a new trail through the Rocky Mountains.

Walks down to Viele Lake are frequent and it’s always interesting to watch the many geese who find a home there.

I love close-ups of the Flatirons and long shots of the mountains.
