Environment:Start Time: 9:10 AM Temperature: 61 degrees Sky: Cloud filtered sunshine, moderate wind. Check out last year’s walk on this day here I didn’t realize how windy it was this morning when I left the house so conditions at Lake Pueblo were kind of a surprise. The wind, though warm, was quite annoying. I ended up cutting today’s tour down to just a mile because there was not much happening other than leaves blowing all around. It’s kind of funny that last year on this day (November 13, 2020) I complained about the wind as well and only got one…

Environment:Start Time: 3:30 PM Temperature: 55 degrees Sky: Cloud filtered sunshine, little breeze As colder morning temperatures start to make their appearances in the Autumn I change my walking schedule to put me at Lake Pueblo State Park in the late afternoon. This is what happened today and, all in all, things went pretty well. On my way into the park I was struck by the late afternoon light that was falling onto Liberty Point so I pulled over and took one of the landscapes posted below. After that I continued on to my walk where I saw quite a…

Environment:Start Time: 8:45 AM Temperature: 39 degrees Sky: Cloud filtered sunshine, little breeze The Autumn Color has been fading of late so I thought I’d take one last stab at capturing some of it before it vanishes completely. From the looks of things I’d say I was about one day late. But I gave it my best and have posted two of my captures. Above, as featured image, is a shot of the North bank of the Arkansas River shot at the bend near the old Highway 96 bridge. This is one of those scenes that I keep an eye…

Environment:Start Time: 8:30 AM Temperature: 48 degrees Sky: Sunshine, few clouds and noticeable breeze Beautiful weather continued to please this morning at Lake Pueblo State Park. I’m not sure why the birds are not out enjoying it but I managed to come home with some (not sexy) postables anyway. The featured image is another Gadwall Duck enjoying the Arkansas River. She had several girlfriends with her on the outing. Posted here is a White-crowned Sparrow (says Google) who got my attention by sitting still in really nice light. I wish this bird would give lessons to everyone else. Below is…

Environment:Start Time: 7:45 AM Temperature: 51 degrees Sky: Sunshine, few clouds and noticeable breeze Daylight Savings Time is upon us and it now looks like I’ve gotten up earlier to take my tour of Lake Pueblo State Park. That’s dedication. I think most of the birds forgot to set their clocks back because it was pretty still out this morning. The leaves are starting to show the wear of the season but there is still color to be found – especially when you view the leaves with back lighting. Today’s featured image is a Ring-billed Gull who, along with some…

Environment:Start Time: 9:30 AM Temperature: 41 degrees Sky: Sunshine, few clouds and light breeze Back on tour after a few days “off”. Apparently the birds are still on a little vacation since not many were out this morning. Still a good day to take a walk while lugging a heavy camera around. There is still some decent color along the trails but it is showing some wear. Non of the Winter ducks have arrived yet – save for the two Pied-billed Grebe that were enjoying the Arkansas River this morning. I also surprised a couple of Mule Deer doe who…
