Hope

 

 

    After a week of overcast skies, and rain that would not stop this double rainbow appeared Monday morning September 16th, 2013 after four days of ravaging water that devastated many homes, bridges, and destroyed the infrastructure that will take years to repair. This photo is looking north just outside Estes Park not far from Devils Gulch Road.
    As clearing began, the sun poked through to the beautiful robin egg blue skies that is so prevalent in the Rocky Mountains. Life was returning to a new normal that will ever pervade the lives and landscapes of Colorado. The resilience, hope, tenacity, and love of others and community will bring this state back together in a stronger and better way.
    I will miss and long to be back in my beloved summer "place" and will return next season to see friends and neighbors. The bigger picture for me, will be what can I do to help in recovery of the new normal. May all the people of Colorado receive many blessings as there lives more forward.
