First afternoon in Telluride

It was pretty wild driving into town this afternoon. It took about 7 hours to drive to Telluride from Boulder. The scene was worth the drive.

We rode a ski lift up the mountain and took some shots on the way.

Here are the state flowers...Columbines.

Kelley spend some time painting...

and quickly gained some admirers.

I mentioned to Kelley that many famous people vacation in Telluride because it is so far off the beaten path and they can get away. The first famous person we saw was Bill Ford. He is the chairman of Ford Motor Company and he is the great-grandson of Henry Ford. We saw him and his family entering a restaurant and then later on he walked by as Kelley was painting.
