Yes, that’s a black bear & cinnamon bear who approached the front door of my house. And no, I did not have a picnic basket waiting for them, so they left. 🐻 #Wildlife #RockyMountains #Colorado #Bears

#HappySaintPatricksDay! 🍀 We certainly have the luck o’ the #Irish in #Colorado—beautiful sunshine & 60 degrees ☀️ (but tomorrow’s going to snow! ❄️). Hope you find a pot o’ gold in the simple joys of family, friends & great beer today🍺

TRIGGER WARNING—this post is not for the squeamish: That moment when you spot #MountainLion tracks in the snow next to your house and then stumble upon the kill site on your daily #hiking route. 😮 🥾 #RockyMountainLife #YouAreNotAlone

Happy #WinterSolstice! While hiking today I stopped to say a prayer beside a #sacred tree that had been modified over centuries by a Native American tribe.🌲 When I finished my prayer, I glanced up & spied a bald eagle hovering us. 🦅 May your #holidays be similarly #blessed.

We killed ourselves for these #wildflower shots! Went #MountainBiking from 9,000 to 12,000 feet for a photo of that delicate yellow Glacier Lily near #CrestedButte, #Colorado, but the scenery was worth it. Crazy is as crazy does… 🏔️ 🌼 🚵🏻‍♀️

[Diane J. Reed @DianeJReed]

After #hiking 8 miles, I finally felt like myself again 🥾 Gotta love the #Colorado #wilderness 💛⛰️

They did it! Sam & Zach graduated today, and we couldn’t be more PROUD of the fine & caring young men they have become. So blessed to call them our boys! 🎓 💖 🌟
