This commute was set up a little differently than most. Due to the fact that Beth and I had to be in Denver last night for a meeting and we’re heading down there again tonight to attend an Avalanche with our friend, Jim. So, my car stayed at work last night….and I *had* to ride this morning. Luckily, it\u00a0was\u00a0n’t raining (or snowing!) \u00a0and there wasn’t any wind to speak of. It was however, rather dark out and a bit nippy.\u00a0 I wore a fleece neck\/nose warmer that made all the difference. My feet were the only thing that got uncomfortably cold — but that was my fault because I opted to wear my thinner shoe covers and I should have gone with my fully insulated ones. I look like a bad guy, don’t I?<\/p>\n

I delayed my departure until 7:00am so that the sun would be up before I made my way through the neighborhoods to the busier roads. I took these pictures about 3 miles from the house — just as the sun crested the horizon. I’ve thought of taking the barn shot numerous times, but for some reason it just never happens.\u00a0 Today I wasn’t in a hurry at all and decided to play “tourist” as I commuted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I know it is out of focus — I think that adds to the effect of this one. Of course, seeing it in person, the light coming thru the trees was anything but blurry. Very crisp and sharp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This looks like a barn that has been around for a while. Well kept and no junk around — if I were a farm animal, this is where I’d want to live.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Riding along with the foothills bathed in early morning light is just beyond words. I get to gaze over at the foothills during my entire commute. There are a few times where my view is obstructed by developments\u00a0 but mostly, I can see the front range.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Many of the leaves have already turned and fallen. There were still some trees near the barn that had color to share.<\/p>\n
