A few scenes from the Denver trip: the mammoth costume from a production of "The Skin of Our Teeth" hanging from the ceiling in one of the backstage workshops we saw at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, and models of stage sets from other past performances; some theologically sophisticated New Mexico retablos and Jaune Quick-to-See Smith's Guernica-inspired "Trade Canoe for Don Quixote" (2004) at the Denver Art Museum; a pensive settler on the edge of a fountain at Broadway and Colfax; Elephant Butte and snowlike-seeds of some kind on the Boulder Creek trail and grasses at Red Rocks above Boulder; reflected skyscrapers in Denver's downtown; a pretty rose window at Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church and - to round things out below - a mural in the historic Brown Palace hotel, both across the street from our hotel.
