Today I’m in Cripple Creek and Victor, CO again. The first time I visited CC, I had gotten distracted by an amazing trail near Royal Gorge before going. Then there was my EV car 🚘 nightmare which I talk about in this video. Looking forward to discovering more. #explorewithme #photocoteries

Yesterday I got to meet Joey who was the guide to go into the Centurion gold mine in Idaho Springs, Colorado and the conductor of the rail train. Later I panned for and found gold in their active stream. I’m making a YouTube about the experience. #golddigger #explorewithme #photocoteries #travelsky

Sitting here having a local pint of New Belgium Honey Orange at Gold Pan Saloon and this song 🎶 comes on just to remind me how perfect it is. #musicsky

…and then, and then, and then, and then.

Drove up Pikes Peak for the sunset 🌅 last night, my second time there, the first was going up on Cog ⚙️ Railway. (There’s a video on a previous post) On my return. I decided to get that delicious warm goodness in my belly. 😋 #explorewithme #photocoteries #pikespeak

Perimeter image at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. What an intensely wonderful evening. The blood moon appeared as Susan was singing 🎶 “I am the moon”. A really short clip in comments. #travelsky #musicsky -Tedeschi Trucks Band

While waiting for Tedeschi Trucks Band to come on… It’s Lukas! #musicsky Red Rocks Amphitheater!! #musicsky #colorado #explorewithme #photocoteries

Found this gem in South Park City, Colorado. I have never seen one inside like this before. It made my day. I love green. Not a part of the upcoming tour but a recommendation to see this outstanding little piece of history. And no, I can’t find Kenny. #explorewithme #photocoteries #travelsky

Be still my heart! 🦋 I don’t wear fragrances but if I had this… my car and eyeglasses are Italian, make me a sweet violet too. #explorewithme #photocoteries #travelsky …found this gem in South Park. 💕

I am so excited right now. On my second visit to Manitou Springs, COLORADO I have found this cool little alley filled with old time amusements including probably 100 antique ride toys on the sidewalks. World Famous Penny Arcade. #explorewithme #photocoteries #arewethereyet

Pikes Peak in Colorado. I couldn’t stop looking at this mountain. ⛰️ It’s called Calendar Mountain because it’s elevation is 12,365 ft. So I figured to have an Ansel Adams moment and make a monochrome along with the color version. It’s another interesting slice of American Pie. #mountainmama

PIKES PEAK ⚙️ Cog Railway 🚃 in the ❤️ of Manitou Springs is a stunning ride to the summit. 🦋 Come along! Cool tidbit: in the clip of the conductor walking into the train is baby Holly from Breaking Bad. Pretty wild!!! See comments. #explorewithme #photocoteries #arewethereyet

Just landed 🛬 in Denver and saw that Glen Hansard passed away. I’m real sad about this. The motion picture “Once” lives in my psyche. It was made on a low $100,000 budget. I have it on DVD 📀 so I can always access it. Godspeed my fellow Irish ☘️ human. 🕊️ 😔 #musicsky

Always a nice start to a exploration flight ✈️ in the United Club lounge for a ☕️ , quick bite and even an early morning Blue Moon 🍺 Heading out to Denver in a little! I will be taking photos of even more things than past travel there. 🦋 #travelsky #photocoteries

Bozo the Clown insulting the intelligence of the room of White House Correspondents Dinner and getting no laughs. Bozo ruins everything he touches.

New York City is the place where they said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side. #musicsky #loureed

Dignified Transfer happening now at Delaware Dover Air Force Base. May their memories be a blessing. 🕊️

I can tell you this. I’ve been to Cuba 3 times so far. I understand their resilience and resolve. I have witnessed the dedication towards existing the best way they can and even when it’s tough for them, they still have time for goodness and a laugh or smile. 1/4

Felt like a little Swayze this evening. Found this gem! One of my favorite scenes of Johnny teaching Baby to groove freestyle. #swayzeforever #musicsky #dirtydancing

This is my favorite place to shop for Moroccan treasures. It’s outside the city on a roadside area. We will visit on the Marrakech & Beyond tour coming in November. Are you ready to be culturally amazed? I will show you. Let’s go to Morocco 🇲🇦 See blog below. #worldtravel #photocoteries #travelsky

I’m subscribed to YT Premium and it shows me some pretty cool stuff, especially music. 🎶 Love this version. Hypnotized. 🦋 #musicsky

It seems there are communities everywhere fighting Data Centers. If you are one of them, this list can help if you plan to speak at a meeting. The effects are real and confirmed by those already living in the Data Center nightmare.

When you need a breather always remember this… 🦋

Well good morning Flag Day! 🇺🇸

People are cheering as they’re removing the mark of the beast from the Kennedy Center.

Reflecting Pool update. It looks like the blue bottom is no longer a factor. Dark grey will be similar to the original perspective and we will see the sky, clouds, birds and monuments in the mirror like surface. This is Paco Lane an artist 🧑‍🎨 following the story through painting of scenes in DC.

This photo was captured in Marrakech, Morocco 🇲🇦 by one of my guests at the opening area to my favorite magical garden. I’m heading back in early November with up to 6 tour guests. Building the itinerary now. Consider coming along. Travel changes you and lives in your psyche forever. #travelsky 🌎
