Beautiful Telluride

 

Yesterday we took a trip up to Telluride, CO. It is located right next to their ski area and even has ski lifts including a gondola that start in town. The colors were beautiful even though it was a little past peak. It has an elevation of 8,750, and has to be my new favorite town in Colorado.

 

 

Telluride has a free gondola from the downtown area up to Mountain Village. It is the only public transportation system of its kind in the US. Below is a picture of the downtown station where you board to go to Mountain Village.

 

 

Mountain Village was pretty awesome, with lots of shops, hotels, restaurants, and outdoor plazas. We sat at a café and had some drinks before we got back on the gondola and headed back downtown.

 

Ladybugs

Grant's parents have a greenhouse we had to water for them while they were away. They were having problems with bugs & got a bunch of ladybugs. I didn't know that they looked like this while they matured.

Carrot Harvest

Didn't do too many veggies this year but these carrots turned out nice & were very tasty. Found the red kuri squash (in the background) at the store, had never had it before. We roasted it & had it on mini whole wheat pizzas. Anyone else used them before?
