well, it’s that time of year again; heading to telluride for my best friend’s birthday… no complaints here.
and this year, it gets even better. i was able to share telluride with Elle for the first time!
wilson peak is beautiful, even socked in with snow.
the wine started flowing as the birthday celebrations kicked off…
we took the gondola from the mountain village back to town for some late night fun in telluride.
blurry telluride from high up on the mountain…
the next day i got to spend some quality time with one of my old friends, kona, a gorgeous chocolate lab.
it was a great time as always, and a refreshing quick trip up to the mountains for both Elle and me. it feels like it’s been too long. i’m really looking forward to the mountain trips planned for the summer and fall…

Another great post. I really enjoy your blog very much. I have been lucky enough to travel my whole life. The experiences you have traveling can be amazing.
I have very fond memories of Telluride – my mother was raised at the Alta Mines above Telluride — you would love the view and the pictures you would be able to take from up on top — give it a try next time you are in town!
The mountains, the star trails…all breathtakingly beautiful. Enjoyed checking out your pics.
