I have been busy getting to know my new home here in Arvada, Colorado this month of April! Many nature outings, walking labyrinths, discovering new eclectic neighborhoods, and enjoying some great restaurants in the area. I am sharing a few photo grouping just from todays outing, this last day of April. I discovered this historic area in West Denver, called The Highlands, where there is a labyrinth underneath a carousal structure from many years ago! The carousal has since been moved to another area in Denver, but the labyrinth is there to walk underneath a very cool steel dome structure. I photographed a cool mural of a black cat, and noticed a unique car filled with colored balls, and people riding in open back having a blast in the Tennyson area. A very eclectic street with many restaurants and galleries and a cultural flavor all its own!

To get back to nature toward the end of my day, I explored a new park in the Lake Arbor neighborhood, with many Canada Geese chilling out in the lake and on the grassy areas. My final destination today was a quick walk at Majestic View Park, and the Labyrinth at sunset, my favorite places and time to get in touch with nature and feel grounded looking at the beautiful Rocky Mountains in the distance. I still have to pinch myself that I live in Colorado, after all these years of dreaming about making it my home! This was just one day in the life of Mars in Colorado, and I look forward to many more adventures to come.

I live each day with this quote in mind by Helen Keller, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!”
