Flying into Denver airport provides a lovely view of the snow-capped Front Range. Some people enjoy the beach as their happy place, but for me it's definitely the mountains. Maybe someday I'll be able to live somewhere with a daily view of "my mountains", but until then, occasional restorative visits will have to do.
Fall was just beginning to arrive in Colorado and it was glorious.
In addition to the Front Range, I also attended Ryan's Calculus II class and learned about Lagrange. Lagrange multipliers are used in mathematical optimization, "a strategy of finding the local minima and maxima of a function subject to equality constraints." Got that? I'm not sure I did, despite the excellent instructor.
In addition to mountains and math, I'll tell you about beer (and maybe even a rattlesnake) next time.
Great photos! I'd have been completely lost in that class, though. Looking forward to the beer post.
ReplyDeleteThe view of the Front Range fills me with joy and awe. Joy in that I'm minutes away from seeing my daughter; awe in the utter beauty of this part of the country.
ReplyDeleteYay for mountains and math class... and beer...but not snakes!
ReplyDeleteExcellent instructor!!! :-) Love the look of that front range!
ReplyDeleteDespite the excellence of the instruction, I would be woefully lost in that class. However, I think that he would also teach an excellent course on cooking and beer - I would sign up in an instant for both! Beautiful photos!!
ReplyDeleteTo me, La Grange is a town in Texas. Enjoy those beautiful mountains!
ReplyDeleteso very exciting!! I love the photos and the busyness of the trip - it's hard to take it all in at once isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Bonny! Such a beautiful corner of the world. . . And how awesome that you got to see Ryan in action! How cool is that??? (I actually liked calculus . . . once I got over the shock of being IN calculus. . . )
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely time of year in the mountains! How exciting to see your son doing what he does.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Beautiful photos!! I love when clematis get that mop-head look. ;)
