...on what turned out to be a very busy and productive day. Lunch with a friend at Union Station, a pickup at one of my business vendors (a new and somewhat bold step that went better than I could have imagined), and then a stop at my favorite wig salon for some long needed updating.

It was a lot of fun getting out in the daytime again, something I've really missed. Can't wait to do it again!

"Colorado canyon girl could set me free
Brown eyes in the mornin' lookin' back at me
And just for that one moment... you're all that I see
Searchin' for some other place to be"

(From: "Boulder Skies" -- Pure Prairie League)

I love my native Missouri, but nothing reinvigorates my spirit like a trip to Central Colorado. It had been six years since my last trip out here, and on that trip I never really got to let my "girl" out, the real girl anyway.

Like many of my girlfriends, I've always enjoyed the more glamorous side of things. And I'll always enjoy primping and posing in sexy dresses and shiny high heels.
But as the years fly by, I find more and more the need to REALLY BE me.

I suppose I've been tinkering with this gal "Kellie" for the better part of twenty years, on one level or another. It's been an interesting evolution to be sure.
Much more interesting in the last ten years since I've accepted the realities, gotten out and gained confidence, and embraced who I am.

I first heard the lyrics to the song above about twenty years ago as well. The song relates more to a lovesick man, but that one verse above has always struck a chord with my feminine soul.

This is in the Crystal River valley of the Elk Mountains, nowhere near Boulder, closer to Aspen I suppose. But that verse speaks to my soul and always will.

"And just for that one moment... you're all that I see"

Basin Park Hotel, Eureka Springs Arkansas 2004

A favorite oldie that deserves a better fate than being stuck at the end of the photostream.

The photo was taken on my first out-of-town girl trip, a wonderful weekend in the quaint Victorian resort town of Eureka Springs. This is what a closeted girl looks like when she FINALLY breaks out. There is no better feeling.

Exploring ghost towns out in the Colorado Rockies has been a passion of mine for many years. OK I admit it, I'm a history nerd. I usually leave these endeavors to the other inhabitant of this body, since it often requires some rigorous off-roading to get to these places, and he is a little better suited for that kind of thing.

The little site of long forgotten Placita was just down the road from where I was staying in Redstone, and an easy walk off the highway even in flip-flops. I had just enjoyed a little shopping excursion in touristy Redstone and really felt the need for one last mini-adventure before the dreaded 14 hour drive back to Missouri the next day.

Well weather happens fast out here unfortunately. Five minutes before this picture was taken there was not a cloud in the sky. The valley behind me is beautiful in the sun, unfortunately this rather intense storm came rolling over Elk Mountain and it was back to the lodge.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It's an odd photograph but I like it.
