A little story....

 

For ten years I've been waiting to get to the Maroon Bells to take photos... last year our trip got cancelled due to a death in a coworkers family.. this year we got there after kidney stones and other vacation setbacks.. I set up my tripod, took this picture and WHAMMO... blizzard. (you can see some snow coming down in the bottom left of the shot... it went crazy seconds later.)

 

We tried waiting it out but the skies kept getting worse so we left for Denver, which took about 8.5 hours (5 hours longer than it should have...).

 

So, I'll be going back next year... locusts and plagues and swine flu be damned...

 

Super disappointing to say the least.. heavy, heavy sigh... no way to have anticipated snow 2 hours before autumn officially began, but still...

Lynette: Yep. Go ahead, say it. I know you want to.

Tom: This is all your fault. You should've listened to me.

Lynette: I know. But be fair. There is no way I could've anticipated this.

Tom: You tell people Frankenstein's on the loose, then you're surprised to see the torch-wielding villagers?
