"Quiet Morning ..." is my attempt to capture the breathtaking scene I beheld while driving south in Larkspur, Colorado, an early morning in December of last year. After the finish of a heavy snowfall, I was on my way to meet a friend for a white forest hike. The scene literally stopped me in my tracks (I pulled over in my husband's giant truck and snapped some photos) -- the fog and shadows were almost confusing, and absolutely wonderful!
Since I moved to Larkspur, this past summer, I've called these rolling hills the "moors" -- terrain I've otherwise only seen in person in England, where I lived for three years. (Anyone who has enjoyed historic British literature, probably recalls the scenic references.) In the background of these hills are the lovely escarpments, buttes, and small mountains found stretching north to south through Douglas County.
