Breckenridge snow & fall color

All this week Bevan's mom and step dad have been visiting from Alabama. We took them to Breckenridge today to see some of the fall color. Over the past 2 days the mountains have had 2 feet of snow.
Here are some aspens in the condo complex. You can see Bevan to the right of the tree getting a close up shot with his camera phone.
Here is a view from the complex towards the ski runs. Hopefully this early snow means a great ski season is ahead just like last year.
Here is a shot overlooking the town of Breckenridge up towards peak 8. You can see the golden aspens in the background.
This is my favorite shot of the day. It looks like someone took a paint brush and painted specs of gold on the mountains. I have never had the luck to see golden aspens amongst snow covered pines before. It was truly beautiful there today.

#3 Auburn vs. #6 LSU 9/16/06

We traveled to the "Loveliest Village on the Plains" this past Saturday to witness an old fashioned slugfest between the two Tigers of the SEC. Auburn vs. LSU lived up to its billing and left everyone on the edge of their seats in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Final Score Auburn 7 vs. LSU 3. This game was brutally HOT. It made for a miserable day in the stands. We were all physically drained as time expired.Here is our eagle "Spirit" making his pregame flight. I had a feeling we would win after his flight that day. He must've stayed up in the air for about 3 minutes circling the stadium 4 times before landing to a thunderous roar of "War Eagle, Hey"!!!!!
Here is my brother Clark in the middle with his son Mitchell and his best friend Pat. Don't hold it against Pat for being an LSU fan. Those cajuns have to pull for someone.
Here is a picture of myself, Mitchell, Clark & my dad after the game was over. You can see in the background the scoreboard that reads Auburn 7, LSU 3.
Dad, Clark, Mitchell & Bevan after the game at Toomers Corner. For those of you that don't know about Auburn football, after every home win our fans congregate at the entrance to campus and roll Toomers Corner.
Here is Bevan, Clark, Mitchell & myself at Toomers Corner. Waaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr Eagleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Eagle flight

Here we have our eagle Tiger flying before one of our games years ago. It is a great tradition that we have going at Auburn University. It still makes the hair on my head stand up when you see this magnificent bird take flight. WAR EAGLE, HEY!!!!!!!!

Elk- Evergreen, CO

I was driving through Evergreen, CO and came across this herd of elk. This bull elk is huge. Wouldn't you agree?

Here is another picture of the bull. I wish there was a way to upload small video files on this web page. He was yelling big time to the doe's nearby.Here are some of the doe's and their calves.
Here is a doe checking me out from the car. You don't realize how big these animals are until you are right up on them. Gosh, I love Colorado and the chance to be this close to nature. Isn't life great!!!This is a picture taken in Estes Park. The elk are always in this town. They are on the golf course, in people's yards & walking down Main Street. I lucked out and was able to get pretty close to get this shot.
