A beautiful day in Palisade, Colorado

From morning until evening this was a gorgeous day to be out taking photos. I'd driven off the Internstate on some road in Clifton and couldn't help but stop for a few pictures. The air was crisp and cold, and the vista was magnificent. This is Mount Garfield from the Clifton side.

Mount Garfield on the left and Grand Mesa on the right. Palisade is nestled in between, but you can't really see it from here. Maybe some of the trees are in Palisade. I think this area is all Clifton where I'm standing.

Grand Mesa under snow and clouds.

Here's Grand Mesa from smack dab downtown Palisade at 3rd and Main.

Grand Mesa from the sidewalk in front of our house on Milleman Street.

The Bookcliffs from our front yard. The snow was gone by late afternoon, but as always, the play of color and changing light fascinates me.


The Bookcliffs and Milleman Street. This is looking eastward or maybe somewhat northeast toward the Rockies, much too far away to see.

Sunset on Grand Mesa from our back yard.

I love the feel of the sky this evening.

While the sunset isn't spectacular, the sky glows behind the trees making a beautiful way to end a day of changes.
