Girl's Day Out

Dahl Sheep

This was how our morning started... with a wildlife road block.

They were licking the salt off the road left by the plow trucks.  My friend Barb and I decided to take a 225 mile "colors" road trip around the mountains a couple of weeks ago.  We left Durango and headed north through Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, Dolores and home. 

Hay Harvest

We had to stop before Telluride to capture this photo.  How beautiful to see the last cutting of hay, fall colors and snowy mountains all in one picture.

Really?!

Ok, aside from the way over priced shops that made our jaws drop repeatedly, this may have been the most shocking sign of the day.  Really?  A lost sheep poster? 

Barb & Me

After lunch and more shops, it was time to hit the road again - But not without a parting shot! 

This was taken at the south end of Telluride (thank you kind stranger).

A great road trip - filled with beautiful colors, a smidgen of snow, good chatter, fun shopping (we did find a consignment store where we each scored a good deal!) and a delicious Mexican food lunch.  It all made for a nice girl's day out.
