Bed & Breakfast in Estes Park, Colorado

The following photos are shots of our property in the winter. Your first views will be entering our drive way.  Here it is early January.

If Maggie is on her toes she will try and greet you at your car door. She is gentile and sweet--loves treats and petting on the head. As you may have heard she was sick last summer and this past fall, however she has improved every day. Vestibular disease (old dog disease) can be mistaken for strokes or leg injuries. Exercise, love and watching them at feeding time is vital. We sprinkled her food with cheese or bacon every so often to keep her eating. She also lost most of her eye sight, however she recovered most of it over several months. Hold your dog up as they try to walk until they regain balance. They will need to visit the potty field a little more too, but don't we all. Soon Maggie was NEARLY back to her old self, but even more loving and gentle. Maggie's life is active after a year which brought her 3 or 4 episodes of vestibular disease. NO drugs needed.

Yes, I wondered around the yard one quit afternoon capturing YOUR experience in my lens. This is the view out your car window once you have parked. This is also the rock you see out the Sterling room window.

Stepping out your car door you will turn to see this side of the house, the window to the far right is the sterling room window, next is breakfast window, living room and lastly to the left is the front porch window. The car you see is my blue Toyota. We live in the bottom of the house, here you see the windows framed in rock work. Please don't knock at our down stairs door--we wont here you.

I stood outside, and under the Sterling Room window for this shot. People ask often about our views and I do a pitiful job with my description.

This is a portion of the view from the Boyd Suite. You also see the Key Hole cottage. The hot tub is to the far right. I'll try and update this photo with something more broader.

The deck for our hot tub, as viewed out the Boyd Suite window. The walking path comes from our back yard kitchen door.

This is the view when standing at the Key Hole Cottage door. The cottage is open from June to end of September. This photo was taken in the winter otherwise the bushes would be covered in fresh green leaves.

Photo I took and enhanced as a gift to Ron and Judy.

Ron and Judy renewed their 45 year marriage vows at the base of Lumpy Ridge and Twin Owls rock out-cropping. Eric officiated the ceremony while I took photos.

Hiking to the ceremony location was fun, but tense for me. I knew as a photographer what I believed would turn out the best, but I din not want to the responsibility of creating the wrong environment for Ron and Judy. If I had it my way I would march people into place. Eric tells me to take charge, than over rides my charge. There is something to be said for not making a hobby into a profession. It became a profession for me a few years ago--and miss the love having it as a hobby.
