I thought this weed was neat....I wonder what it looked like earlier in the Summer....

Fall was already arriving......





At some place in Colorado Springs....





Also Colorado Springs.....





Yarrow? I think.....


Nice lavendar flowers....









Again, wonder what it looked like this Summer......





Interesting plant.....





I think the grasses are so interesting..






Yellow flower with bugs on it.......





Saw alot of this plant!




Lavendar fall flower....


Took several of this one in the ditch of the hotel we stayed at in Leadville, I think.....


And again....



Interesting grass that apparently turns a purplish color in the Fall........




Pine Cone on a tree behind a car wash in Loveland...which we needed to visit due to the Pawnee National Grasslands!



I liked this little flower!



Weeds putting on their Fall colors..


And again.........


Pretty Autumn flower



We saw alot of pretty plants and had really nice weather for our trip......except the hail storm of course!








Aspens

The Aspens were just wonderful when we were in Colorado.....













Hope everyone has a good Autumn weekend!

Thursday Afternoon

We had extra Tyler time again Thursday afternoon! He likes playing with the shopping cart..and he likes playing outside!


I think he might like G-Pa best!





He is such a sweetie!


We are so lucky to be able to spend time with him!!
