The Drepung Monks came all the way from Tibet for Sunday morning at the Bluegrass Festival. The Drepung monastery was one of only a dozen monasteries to survive the Chinese Communist takeover of Tibet in 1959.
Those Monks visited the art museum in the buiilding where I work several years ago and it was fascinating watching them work on their sand painting! I couldn't believe they destroyed it when they were done, but I guess that's part of the demonstration.
Originally the location for a summer camp by Ute Indians, then a mining camp called Columbia, Telluride became a town in 1878. This remote town in the San Juan Mountains became part of the National Historic Landmark District in 1964, and later became a destination ski resort. There are many year-round activities to enjoy in the beautiful surroundings of the mountains, and after only one visit to Telluride, it will become a part of you forever.
All of the photographs on this blog were taken by me unless otherwise noted. If you would like to use any of these, please contact me at mtsrool@gmail.com. Thanks!
Welcome to my blog! I live in beautiful Telluride, Colorado with my husband and three kids. I started blogging for family and friends to keep up with what we have been doing and it has kind of turned into an on-line diary for myself also full of my favorite photos.

How interesting that the Tibetan monks travel and appear at festivals. I like their yellow headdresses.
