Camping in Colorado



Camping this weekend. 

There is something about being up in the mountains that refreshes a soul.

We thought we would do more camping this summer but time got away from us.

 A few more day hikes and summer will be gone. 


Here's one of the deer we saw, and the bird in the sky is a vulture circling    


Social Order

All through history, people with money, land and homes rule over those who have less money, tiny plots of land or small homes. If the wisest man of all times lived on the street who would listen to him. But if a fool has money, land or a large home, his opinion counts. 

Sometimes we see this very thing in Hollywood.   

Money equals power, influence and more money.

In Regency England, they divided their social order according to wealth.

Royalty – George III and Queen Charlotte / Prince Regent George IV and Queen Caroline  

Aristocrats – These are the Lords and Ladies that were very wealthy and their families. (titled or untitled) Very wealthy personages and those descending of old families that were peers of the realm.

Gentry – These are very old families that usually have large estates. People that made their money in trade can buy a very old home and will be included into this category only if they have very nice manners and never engage or talk about trade.

Tradesmen – They work and therefore must be avoided at all costs. Except if you need their services. Do not strike up a conversation with them. They are not your equals.

Laborers – All the people that work. Servants, groomsmen, cooks, butlers, etc. Only give them orders.

Hiking above Nederland in Colorado















Hiking this weekend near Diamond Lake. We walked through two waterfalls and a couple of streams. And then far off we could see another waterfall. The whole hike was in the shade with flowers blooming and the smell of pine trees accompanying every step. The rush of the river from below told us we were close to the lake.

July

 Between community gardens and fishing with my husband July slowly ebbed away. 

Bridges, Streams and Paths


Summertime in Colorado is truly amazing—from the peaceful hum of rivers to the roaring currents of streams. 

One of my favorite places in the world hidden in the mountains where you can see wildlife and wildflowers. Feast on raspberries, bird-watch or fish. 


This is where I write best. Not what I write is best, but where I enjoy writing the most.
