Frozen Pickle Juice

The Delta County fair was in town last week, and this caught my eye. I don't know if you pay them, or they pay you........

Be All You Can Be!

Are you all you can be?

Don't Mess With Delta

There was a new sheriff(s) in town this past week!

I've Got Your Back Big Guy

I have talked before about the vendors that setup outside Delta Super, and last week a new one showed up with a very interesting mix of metal art. The owner, Dan, told me that he use to have a store in Grand Junction known as Rattles & Rust, but overhead was an issue, so he has started doing more of these sorts of sales. He says that he plans to be in Delta once a month or so, and I look forward to his visits. So if you need a wire cowboy, road runner, chicken, suite of armor, Harley Davidson sigh, or a cow scull, I have the place for you! If you really need them all, I am sure he would deal! I will show a few more pics of his offerings this week.

Good Marketing People Are Worth Every Dollar

Here lies Boris A. Parkridge, a devoted father and husband, well respected in the community and.....(What's that? Its a subdivision entrance sign? backspace, backspace, backspace) Sitting high on Garnet Mesa in Delta Colorado is a lovely new single family housing development known as Parkridge. The new homes are affordable, close to good schools and.....

Alternate Transportation

Guys, I tell ya, this thing will really take us south, and we won't need to do all that flying! Trust me! Where you going? Come back!

Dressing Delta Up

There is a crew of people who get out early each morning to care for the many flower arrangements that grace Main Street. Their efforts are appreciated by many!

I See You

Can you see me?

Lands End

High a top Grand Mesa, at the end of a long dirt road, there is a place called Lands End, where the land basically..... ends. Actually it is the edge of Grand Mesa, and from this spot, you can look down a couple of thousand feet into the valley. However, if you turn around, and look back over the mesa, you realize how very large it really is. From what I understand, Grand Mesa is the largest flat top mountain in the world, so what you are looking at in this shot is not Nebraska, it is a mountain top!

Perhaps he should have been more careful

I found myself interviewing in Baltimore recencly, and got a laugh out of the hotel name.

Stay Dry

They did not follow instructions :)

The Snow Effect

Heavy winter snows make for good wildflowers!

Colleen Wins!

I am not sure what the game was, but I think she won! Please zoom in for details.

Road Closed

The road was still blocked by snow in the high country, but walking is just as fun! Those clouds do look like they want to add to the snow however!

Obstacles

Getting to and from Silver basin is not without difficulty. Decisions such as going over the suspect looking bridge or through the river must be made….

Follow The Leader

Suburbans are not typically the best 4 wheelers, but our little caravan did just fine.

Storm Clouds

Storm clouds surrounded Silver Basin, but they could not obscure the distant peaks.

Glacier Milk

In some places, water this color is called Glacier Milk. What ever you call it, the flowers seem to like it!

This was taken on a trip to Silver Basin (Above Ouray) last Saturday. We have a foreign exchange student from Japan living with us for a month, and we are doing a tour of some of the places near Delta. I will be posting more shots from the Silver Basin trip as well as some of the other trips we take, and hope you enjoy the tour.

Looking West

There are nights I walk outside at sunset, and simply say "wow".

Rotating Stock

Sometimes moving the older stock to the front does not help it move faster.....
