I traveled to Ft. Collins, CO, this past week and made some time to go out and enjoy the location.  Let me tell you, it is a gorgeous part of the country.

Here are a few photos from that trip.

Horsetooth Mountain Reservoir, just west of Ft. Collins.

I had a chance to make a very quick visit to Rocky Mountain National Park which is about one hour drive from Ft. Collins.  Amazing natural beauty.

Some elk enjoying the beautiful weather.

Me, enjoying the fine weather!  ;-)    I had a Suzuki XL7 SUV as a rental and the hood became a good tripod for this shot!

A panoramic shot - this is made up of three photographs “stitched” together.   When printed, it will be about 12 inches tall by about 30 inches across

The weather was beautiful - but not quite good for a picnic.  Maybe on my next visit!
