It must be Spring

Yesterday, it seemed as though half of Arizona was drifting through the skies. Then today we wake to dirty snow. That's Colorado in April for you.

"L" is for The Leland House

"The Pittman Apartments, built in 1927 by Durangoan P.W. Pittman, were purchased from Leland and Lola Hill in 1993. The building was renamed The Leland House in honor of the Leland Hill family, who had owned the property since 1947. Each room in the Leland House is named after an historic Durango figure and the interior décor is accented with local memorabilia, biographies, and photos of these important figures. The builder, P.W. Pittman, was not forgotten; his name dons the large family suite located upstairs in the Leland House."

Engineer Mountain

It has been a while since I have been able to get a good view of Engineer. I don't work too much in the winter season, so my opportunities to take pictures are minimal. Now it is starting to get busy again, so that means I will be able to get to more varied areas around Durango. I took this from an area just north of Hermosa. The summit of Engineer is about 20 miles northof where this picture was taken.
