This car is standing on its nose downtown. Come to find out, there is a story behind the scene. Just another odd sight to be seen walking through this lovely city. ~K

A continuation of my fascination with the many building murals in Denver: Love how this store in the Highlands not only sells flowers, as the mural would suggest — but booze too. He’s doing some heavy thinking about that little plant. This mural on...

Tall Lady needs to learn, I am not a mannequin. Just because she knits something new doesn’t mean I’m supposed to walk around the house, strutting like some skinny French poodle on the dogwalk. I mean, GOD MOM. What will the neighborhood dogs think?...

Technically not in Denver, but one of the adjoining burbs — this building is within a large cemetery. It is a beautiful, 200-plus acre space, with giant ancient trees and memorials that vary from ornate to bizarre. There are soldiers from the Spanish...
