Opportunities

Sometimes you are tired, too tired to get out. A busy few days, friends in town, cooking for the holiday, and all you want to do is hit the snooze button and curl up in the comforter, returning to dreamland. But a snowshoe hike was scheduled, an early rising required, and with coffee mugs filled, we drive up to Estes Park. We were rewarded with blue skies, a huge herd of elk, two wonderful guests, and an opportunity to gaze at the snow covered mountains that we wouldn't have had if the snooze button had won.
