Breck!!!

 Before we left Rocky Mountain National Park, we took a drive up, up, up into the tundra. Beyond the grass here and there, there was not a single living thing to see besides one lone butterfly and fellow tourists. It felt like we were on the top of the world. 

To The Mountains, We Will Go!

 It was June, school was out, and I thought – I should take my ten year old grandson(Isaac) to see his uncle, Natedogggg, Colorado's very own First Chair champion. What a great bonding experience this would be. 

Springtime In The Netherlands

 What is Springtime in the Netherlands but Tulips? 

Mauritshuis

 I need some remedial history lessons. I always thought The Hague was a building where the Nuremburg war crime trials happened, But no.... 

Cheese, Glorious Cheese!

 We are heading south to the home of one of my most favorite cheeses – Gouda. Fun Fact: The Dutch eat 17 kilos (37 pounds) per person per year. My type of people. 

Art, Art, Art, Canal Ride, Art, Art

I feel perhaps I should start off by mentioning this post will be mostly of pictures that I saw and liked. There probably won't be much else so feel free to go directly to the bottom and leave a comment. If you chose to stay, it will be mini masterclass in composition, light and feeling. Not really but it sounded good when I wrote it.

Culture Shock

 The Smithsonian has a travel program that is quite extensive. One of their offerings is a tour called “A Stay in Holland: An Art History Journey from Vermeer to Van Gogh”.
