Just a typically gorgeous morning on the Colorado plains and a look to the west at Denver and the Rocky Mountains.

The sun had just popped over the horizon and the trees were casting spots of shadows. In the distance and to the left, the Mile High City (elevation 5,280 feet), known at one time as the Queen City of the Plains. Beyond, the snow-capped foothills and mountains, most notably to the right, the indominable Mount Evans (elevation 14,265 feet).

Oh, and of course some bison grazing the plains making this a fine picture for Tatanka Tuesday!
