An FB friend and awesome photographer, Jack Sasson, posted a wonderful pic I just couldn't resist. The contrast of color and the design, well I had to paint it. I made very few changes as the pic was perfect!
In 1898, Boulder citizens approved a bond issue to purchase 80 acres of land to be used as a "Chautauqua". Sitting right below the Flatirons, there are many awesome trails to explore.
