Yesterday was a Colorful Day

I had looked back at the last few days of photos and they seemed a bit dull and monotone so I wanted to color things up a bit. Yesterday started with the evening before as we were returning from -something, I already forget- we saw a sea of blue yard signs a few houses up the street.  I walked up to check it out and it was some kind of Aspen democrats meeting.  The street was lined with lots of cars and individuals of all varieties were streaming to the house.  Yesterday morning when I was riding the bike in to the bakery at about 7:00 am I noticed several cars and a motorcycle still parked at the house.  Too much to drink?  Who knows what those democrats do at those "meetings".

The days are starting to blur into one another.  Actually yesterday Maya was not feeling well most of the day after having been up a lot the night before.  So I guess it was the day before that just she and I rode into town.  She needed to stop in to Carl's Pharmacy for various and sundry sundries.  Here are a few shots along the way:

This is where Maya went in to use a bathroom.  It wasn't too long after this that she started feeling ill.

So that was two days ago.  Yesterday, as I mentioned, Maya was not feeling too well - mostly tired from being up the night prior.  My day started with the early ride to the bakery.  It is actually quite cold early in the morning.  I noticed that most of the people I encounter in the morning are actually runners.  Later in the day the bikers come out.  Here's a shot of a view I enjoyed during much of my ride.

Abe had a tennis lesson with Tory at The Aspen Club and Spa in the afternoon.  After I dropped him off I stopped by to pick up dresses that were being altered for the girls.  The seamstress lives in an apartment above Clark's Market.

I encountered this rugby game in the park so watched for a few minutes.







I liked this guy's shirt, especially the silhouette in pretty Aspen leaf.

Here's an action shot of Abe going for a 100 MPH serve.  May the force be with you.

And an awkward pose with his coach Torre.







Last evening we had dinner at Mezzaluna then went to the opera Falstaff.  It was great.  At dinner we had a waiter named Biff who kept telling jokes that weren't very funny and that none of us really wanted to hear.  I was going to complain but then I thought about that pot/kettle adage.
