I 'Heart' You...

Heart formation...and then whoosh...it was gone...what a moment!!
Driving past the heart clouds thru the Garden of the Gods Park
Driving thru 320 MILLION year old rock formations...really??
Pikes Peak, w/ just a little snow, taken from 8000 feet in the air!
Coming down the mountain...
Arch way @ Woodland Park...amazing sculpture!!
Yesterday Atlas Van Lines delivered my portion of Mom's furniture, pictures, lamps and treasures from her apartment in New Jersey....or really from her life in New York (as she only lived in NJ for the past year). What a difference a month makes. From life to death, from West to East and back again a couple of times, from Summer to Autumn, all very significant and mark-ed changes. Thankfully, the movers were very nice guys, they came early enough where we still had the whole day. We have decided to visit the higher elevations, now that I have acclimated, and w/ the Fall foliage quickly making her appearance, we went to the city of Woodland Park, which is at 8000 feet in elevation. We drove through Garden of the Gods Park, and as I was snapping away, I looked up and there it was, a cloud formation in the shape of a heart! Well, glory be, how perfect, as was the rest of the day. Although I did get a bit light headed, I was closer to Pikes Peak than ever before. The pictures tell the story as our adventures in Colorado continue...

Gorgeous photos Amy...Colorado is stunningly beautiful. I like to watch the skies, they show some amazing visions and the heart is such the perfect symbol for you!
Time stops for no one...even during our pain and sorrow...what a great way to end the day, a trip to a beautiful place.
I enjoyed your adventure Amy, thank you for sharing...
Cheers

Colorado seems to be the gift which keeps on giving...even tho we are in for a 30 degree drop in temps by the end of the week...these skies literally take my breath away...and seeing that cloud in the shape of a BIG HEART after getting Mom's furniture, etc., was a clear wink from the heavens...ah ha, Heather, glad you had a good time too...much loveXXXXXXX

dearest amy, oh i have no doubt from whence that heart came....no doubt that the veil of heaven was parted, but for a moment, and your mom kissed you. i can imagine the warmth of soul and "heart" that surrounded you at that very special instant. i am so happy, my kind friend, that you captured it and shared...but even if we were to never see it, i am glad YOU did :) xo
