That's the Song for this week's meme
over at Song-ography.
We have been doing lots on lots of walking!
When we are not hiking around the park here, we are out exploring nearby cities.
We took a little ride over to Ft. Collins, CO.
And here are just a few photos of this quaint little city.
Lots of cute little cafes with outside seating.
No, we weren't riding. We were walking but there were plenty
of folks here who do enjoy riding.
They had painted up pianos located here and there around the city.
It would have been cool to see someone playing.
And of course a stop at the local saloon for a cold one.
The food wasn't half bad either.
Ok this shot really isn't from Ft Collins.
Its from Santa Fe, NM.. I'm throwing it in because the word is texture over at
OUR BEAUTIFUL WORLD
You have to admit there's a little bit of texture here.
And here are some beauties I added a texture to in photoshop.
The humming birds love these flowers.
I do hope you enjoyed this little tour of Ft Collins.
A fun place to stop if you are ever in Colorado.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
I really do appreciate all your kind comments.
Hugs~

Discovering cute little cafes and things that make a city or town unique is always fun. Thanks for sharing your walk, Linda.
Thanks for sharing your walk and beautiful things along the way with us, and thanks for sharing with us at Our Beautiful World too!
So, so pretty! Fort Collins is such a fun city! Some very special people in my life live there still. I need to get back to visit them. Thanks for the reminder ;)! Hugs!
Enjoyed your tour of Fort Collins and of course Santa Fe! You found another pub, Linda, how fun for you and Bruce. Now if your really want good food, visit Boulder! There was also a German restaurant, coming down the mountains from Estes Park. It might not be there still...don't know where it would be in relation to your park! I know you are having fun finding all the wonderful things. You need to try some fresh trout...I love it blackened on the grill! Happy camping and hiking! Happy Monday!
Fabulous photos! Love the texture and I love outdoor cafes ...Thanks so much for sharing with us at Our Beautiful World! Have a great week!
When I was in Denver I saw a pedestrian walkway that had pianos painted just like that waiting for passersby to sit down a play some tunes. It was such a fun place to hang out, watch, and listen! My favorite shot is the one of the bike and it's basket tho...great perspective and angle on it. Thanks for taking that walk and linking up to Song-ography!
I absolutely LOVE little downtown areas like that! So, so quaint and homey feeling. I think it's so cool that there are painted pianos scattered about! TFS!
What a fun little tour of the town, love that bronze statue.
I'm always fascinated by all the traveling you get to do! One of these days we need to try this lifestyle. The painted piano is such a unique image as well as the bicycles. You are making the most of your journeys. :)
Well you and I had the same itinerary this past weekend. We were walking Midtown...which I will show later on but it had the same quaintness...is that a word?♥ I LOVED the fire hydrant image.
What a beautiful little town! It must be a joy to walk around and see all the beauty!!
OMGosh what a CUTE little town! And pianos? What a thrill it must have been to see them around town! LOVED all of your FAB photos, Linda!
Sounds like a great way to explore a quaint little city. LOVE the painted pianos!
what lovely shots here, great impressions!! Thank you so much for participate at "Our Bautiful World"
Cute little town ... great images.
I always want to visit the places you photograph! Ft. Collins is so cute! (And do think twice - maybe three times - before upgrading to PSE12. It is a LOT different!)
gorgeous photos....and as I catch up on your blog I see you were there when they had that freak snowstorm in MAY,...omg,,,but beautiful all the same. CO is a beautiful place to hang out....enjoy your stay.
so many wonderful colours here, I love that piano shot!
I LOVE the texture on the fire hydrant. And the quaint Colorado town sure is chock full of photo ops!
