Snow capped Rockies…

Mt Lindsey and Blanca Peak from US-160

Often I go to where the food is grown or harvested to pick up the ingredients that make the items you get to enjoy at restaurants or buy from grocery stores. This particular trip last November I was hauling potatoes heading for Walmart stores in Mississippi and Tennessee.

I took this image from a chain-up pad on the side of US-160 just west of La Veta pass in Colorado. The air was crisp and cool but not super cold. This light dusting of snow was just a garnish on the scene… Its one of the more interesting mountains I get to drive past because of the way US-160 winds though the area, you get to see it from several angles.

So when next you think about that bag of potatoes in the store, you can imagine what it may have seen with its ‘eyes’.
