Undiscovered Body of Water

High in the Rocky Mountains (8472 feet altitude) near Evergreen I found a body of water on the family land now owned by Donna. More about this in a minute. We have been cousin-festing. Our cousins Ed and Tracy and Donna are down in Denver tonight. Ed and Tracy depart for home in Overton, NV in the morning. Donna will be back in the morning after she sees them off. We have all had a great visit. Ed and Tracy are fun, kind, and entertaining. Brother Rich and his Valerie and her sister Karen, husband Mel, and their son Curtis are playing Yahtzee at the dining room table. A toasty fire is in the wood stove. We had our daily thunderstorm this afternoon cooling things off. Buster hates them but the rest of us like them. Rich and those folks went to the the pre-Broadway show of the "Little Mermaid" at the Buell this afternoon and were pretty impressed. (They ran into some more cousins of ours there.) We drank and dined enyoyed the stars and got chilly and and are warm in the house now. Most folks will depart tomorrow. I will stay through Monday at least.

The undiscovered body of water is a natural basin in boulder. It is about 2 feet across but I was struck while looking at it how much like an alpine lake it appeared to be. Decided to take a closeup. It fools at first glance.
