From Where I Stand

This is one of a series of ponds in the wetlands along the Boulder Creek path that I walk every day. You can see a little of the path in the middle right of the photo (click on it to enlarge). The creek itself is to the left of the lake, and hidden behind the row of trees. The mountains are the Flatirons, so named by early women settlers, who felt they resembled a familiar household tool of the time. My office is about one-half mile west of the pond, between it and the mountains.
