As we drove through the alpine roads of Colorado, I had John Denver to thank most. He sang about Colorado through my cassette player many years ago. Part of the charm of coming here to the States, was to be able to visit The Centennial State.
Sketchbook was out often, everything seemed sketchable.
This was right below our hotel. Our little porch faced the creek, we slept to the sounds of a gushing stream and woke up to it. Inspite of the water been so cold, my daughter had a gala time in it. She jumped and splashed and seemed oblivious to the chill factor. She, and other kids.
Colorado was everything Denver's songs promised. We biked through winding paths, with mountains and skiing slopes right in front of us. Picturesque vistas has picnic benches facing them, so we stopped and munched on some snacks.
Sketched a quick one, something we witness often at home. Some daddy advice from Daddy is on the cards for B almost every day. So, why should a biking trip be any different 😀. Here she is, sitting goofy and listening. At this point, she was just too tired to retaliate. But, look at the scenery !
A pleasant lunch warranted another sketch. This time using kiddy colours. There's something inherently fun about drawing on an extra large piece of plain white surface. Like a wall or , in this case, the table cloth.
Biking all the way to Lionshead Village was a treat. Beautiful homes and winding mountainous paths was a very pleasant experience. As I sat at the village center, I could see more skiing slopes and gondolas not so far away. I thought even if the architecture wasn't so polished, it would have still been beautiful.
