Have you ever lain in a field of glacier lilies? Delicious to eat in its entirety as well! The leaves are fresh the flowers sweet. Yum.

OK, so I have been back in Fort Collins since the 8th, but I have been going nonstop with work since then. First prepping the classroom, then trying to look prepared for the first days of school last week. I will post pictures of my classroom, before and after the disaster. Since I was in Glacier National Park for a whole month and went on a lot of hikes I, of course, have a lot of pictures. I will have to just post a few at a time.




Hoary marmot!

Some snow crossings on the Dawson Pass-Pitamakin Loop GNP




Dawson Pass photo op. I hike with a ranger and some other visitors. It was the day after I arrived in Glacier and a really awesome hike.




Sinopah Mountain in Two Medicine on an early morning boat ride.

A nice hike to Hewlett Gulch with my brother here from out of town.

Taste of Fort Collins-Lead singer from the band Live

This is happening this weekend and it is a block from my house! I can run home and use the bathroom, grab a snack and go back for the next music act. Crazy. Merica.





It is a little rainy but no one seems to mind. If you look in the background of this picture there is a train going through!

The Poudre River is running high. Some of the bike paths along it are blocked off from flooding. There has already been someone that has lost their life going in the fast moving water. Flood warnings are on for the surrounding area because we are expecting a weekend of rain.

"Noontime Notes" in Oak Street Plaza. This is where the water fountain sculptures are. They will have a different kind of band each Tuesday in the afternoon. People bring their kids, have picnics, dance, have their lunch break etc. in this unique atmosphere.
