Back to the MXdN or as it's called now the MXoN Lakewood, CO

I am finally getting back to our trip to Colorado to see the MXdN come to America.  This is a phenomenal race that encompasses the world.  Over 30+ nations take part and it happened to be in the USA this year!!

You can read more about it here:  Motorcross Des Nations

I took so many pictures, it was hard to narrow it down.  Now I understand what the editors go through.  I was so happy to stay home today while I waited for a Fed Ex package that I needed to sign for.  Another story.

So here is, I am sure, way too many pictures to thumb through.  I will have more on Picasa if you want to see them all.  This is just practice day!

Fall Through My Eyes

Don't Looked At Me!

This has become, without a doubt, my favorite time of year.  Maybe because the feel of the air is noticable, the colors certainly are or a start of slowing down a bit for the oncoming winter.  Which is not anything like many other places in the mountains or northern states, but still a change to crisp, cool days.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of this time of year.

 I have never seen the variety of colors, textures and shapes in pumpkins and gourds.

Morning Sunrise

Along the Roadside at Mt. Evans

From Farmer's Market, to the local Apple Orchards and the local barns...there is such a burst of fall color.  Everywhere you look you can find something that will catch your attention.
Enjoy this season with me.....

Akira Narita at MXdN Lakewood, Colorado 2010

Akira Narita rode for Japan at the 2010 MXdN in Lakewood Colorado. Bike #130 in the MX1 class.   More pictures from the races will come.

Day 5, lost count to Estes Park & Rocky Mt. Park

Some of my favorites of the day.  We rode to Estes Park, did not see Elk, much road work through Rocky Mountain Park.  Not many pictures.  Just a chastise from a grouchy Park Ranger.  We really weren't going fast...really!  Not through the Park.....

What scenery and altitude...

Ate here over 15 years ago!

 This little guy was running full tilt, hard to get a picture.  I actually thought he was going to jump onto me at one point!
