Departing Breckenridge ~

Truck loaded up.



Waiting for a table at breakfast :-)

Loved these lights.

Metal Cactus, shipping is free :-)

The artist and the metal palms.

The bear is holding the kids sandwich,  the kid is reading about bears...


The sculptor responsible for the Indians below was really good!

We actually bought an original painting, if you can believe it I failed to photograph it.
Its a painting of a piano keyboard......well, you will have to wait and see.
Once delivered  :-)

Heading back toward Thornton we stopped in Frisco just outside Breckenrigde 
for more shopping
and 
photos.





Hmmmm....?







Loved :-)

Peaceful little courtyard ~


Attracted to photographing bikes this trip?

At last the drive down the mountain to Thornton.

These zip line towers were everywhere...

So enjoyed my weekend of friends, landscape and COLOR...
