A Golden Fall - Until It Wasn't


It has been cool, but sunny and pleasant here in Denver up until now, as we experience our first snow of the season, and lately my sister Susan and I have been doing a lot of driving around the area, admiring the fall foliage.  We visited Golden, to the west of Denver and up against the foothills, the other day where I took the photograph above of Cleer Creek, a very popular spot for tubers in the summer months, although not so much these days. There was not a single tuber in sight. Clear Creek is also the water source for Coors beer. And if anyone is worried, I am pretty sure the water goes through some sort of process to take the tuber taste out of the product, although I could be wrong on that point. In any case, what with all the students back at the Colorado School of Mines and the many weekend visitors, Golden, whose moto is "Where the West Lives," has been pretty lively lately. Definitely a fun place to hang out.
