. . . and "Happy Thanksgiving" TO Lyons. Thanks to all of the volunteers, the National Guard and the Army, public services, and everyone who helped Lyons get back on its feet after the flooding in September.
There is still a lot of work to be done, and many people are still affected by the damage done. But things are getting better.
So - THANKS!
Lyons, Colorado. Thanksgiving Day 2013.

A few images from three of our greatest National Parks.
