I thought Vermont had the most beauty, trees and green everywhere,

rolling hills and even mountains to ski, until I landed at the Denver airport

on my way to the Colorado western slope and looked down upon the Rockies,

huge jagged slightly snow covered peaks sitting there even majestically,

suddenly I was alive in my childhood’s books, or a dream sequence,

high and beautiful, spreading north and south, never ending and every pattern and hue of soil stretched like a huge quilt running through to meet them.
