Durango Named "Distinctive Destination" By The National Trust
The National Trust for Historic Preservation, the country's largest private, nonprofit preservation organization, has named Durango, Colorado to its 2007 list of America's Dozen Distinctive Destinations, an annual list of unique and lovingly preserved communities in the United States. Durango was selected from 63 destinations in 27 states that were nominated by individuals, preservation organizations and local communities.
See Our Blue Puma!
While you're out and about, don't forget to stop on by For The Birds to see our Blue Puma: "The Soaring Raven Cat" by local artist Miki Harder. Harder's life-like ravens soar across the landscape of the puma body as they gurgle and gossip to their host and each other all they've seen and heard. Whichever lore one admires about ravens, the theme of multi-dimensionality is universal, perhaps reminding us to think past ourselves. This was a fund-raising project of the San Juan Mountains Association.
