Sunny winter shots

A bit of the tropics on a sunny winter day--Here's the afternoon light glowing through the bird's nest fern beside the open deck door today. Also, yesterday's icicles. https://flic.kr/ps/rhS1C Sign in to see full entry.

Palmer Park, Co Springs

Right in the middle of the city of Colorado Springs, there is this park... About a square mile--nearly 700 acres--with over 25 miles of not-very developed hiking trails, some paved roads and spectacular overlooks. Mountain lions have been encountered here! https://flic.kr/ps/rhS1C I took these... Sign in to see full entry.

hoarfrost morning

https://flic.kr/ps/rhS1C It was pretty before, then the sun came out and made it all sparkle! After I put the images up on my photo editor, I spotted what I missed when I took the picture: the full moon setting over the Front Range! Sign in to see full entry.

snow days in the Pac NW

https://flic.kr/ps/rhS1C We went for a drive today, so I took a few pictures going down the road. Also, some birds that have shown up in the yard. The woodpecker taps away at the tree right outside the window by the desk where I am tapping away on the keyboard. Sign in to see full entry.

since Thanksgiving...

Here are some pictures of Charlie's Tower of Bears at the recent little show the weekend after Thanksgiving, and a surprise in the sky the morning after Thanksgiving Day, and more of our Colorado skies, evening and morning... Lucky to get up just in time this morning to catch this sky in the little... Sign in to see full entry.

Madame La Darque

She was a regular visitor for about a year and a half, and today, seeing a younger fox squirrel on the back porch for the second time, I am thinking of her. She had been friends with humans before, I am pretty sure, and was not young when she appeared on my porch. She let me get very close, even... Sign in to see full entry.

A road trip across the American West for those staying home...

The road trip from Colorado to California, to Washington, and back to Colorado... This was our journey to get the Compass Rose Traveling Theater when it was still the Red Dragon Stage. https://flic.kr/s/aHsktbKLZq Sign in to see full entry.
