So we’ve been to Westcliffe a number of occasions, however I haven’t proven you the photographs. Listed here are a few of my favourite photographs from our journeys to my little piece of heaven. The primary group must be no shock – flowers. Some had been planted and a few are wild. BTW after I say planted, I imply final 12 months we threw the seeds on the bottom and Dan watered them.
Sure, I understand these are flowers too, however these are Rocky Mountain Bee Crops and they’re considered one of my favourite flowers in Colorado! I simply discover them fascinating.
Sure, I understand Thistles are weeds however I really like them. We had been driving down considered one of our favourite roads in Westcliffe and there have been fields of them. I simply suppose they’re so fairly.
We additionally drove down a highway we’ve by no means been on earlier than and wow was it fairly. We weren’t positive if we had been going to wish to show round or if it got here out. We had been fortunate I suppose, it went straight by way of. Sure that’s one other subject of thistles.
I’ve at all times appreciated graveyards and Silvercliff has two very good ones. Between the 2 graveyards had been some stunning Rocky Mountain Bee crops so I simply needed to embody them as effectively.
Fourteen months after it was began our deck is lastly full!! I find it irresistible. Simply immediately I went out and sat with my face turned in the direction of the solar and simply loved the Colorado mountain air! How I really like this stunning land.
Mockingly not lengthy after the deck was completed, we caught an enormous bob cat checking it out. We additionally haven’t had any actual points with bears, however we caught this bear (it’s both a bear or an enormous foot) and once we went again down our hummingbird feeders had been empty and our cameras had been down. Evidently no extra feeders until we’re there and it’s daytime. Talking of hummingbirds, only a couple photographs of them as effectively. and naturally, some deer, the child nonetheless has its spots.
We additionally went to the automotive present earlier this month and had lunch with buddies. I really like how now we have extra buddies in Westcliffe than we do in Colorado Springs.
