This week I am giving you a little travel photo collage, from my weekend trip to the Four Corners area. While Denver was walloped with another 8″ – 18″ of spring snow, I was in a 9-seater plane flying through the storm over the Continental Divide. The pilots looked like they were 18 and I was told that these are essentially training flights so they can get enough hours to apply to fly the big commercial planes. Gulp.
I stayed on a horse farm owned by a psychologist who does horse therapy. I kind of fell in love with this Haflinger while I was there… I guess I got some of that Horse Therapy! I also got to walk a stone labyrinth that was blessed by a Navajo Medicine Man.
It was still snowing in Denver when I went to the tiny airport in Cortez, hoping to fly home. The airport was so small, it had its own kitty hanging out in the tiny waiting area. My flight was delayed 2 hours because the plane was still being de-iced back in Denver, so I got to know the Airport Kitty fairly well.
Because of the flight delay, our eventual take-off occurred when the sun was low in the sky, so I got a spectacular view of the golden landscape and pink-lavender horizon as our little plane shot straight up into the billowing clouds. Those same pink-lavender hues illuminated the snow-covered Rocky Mountains as we grazed over the highest peaks, and we landed in the deep blue twilight hour.
