November 12, 2021 – Repost

Here is another post pulled from the archives. 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…

Environment:Start Time: 3:35 PM Temperature: 40 degrees Sky: Sun: 1 Clouds: 0 Kind of a cold afternoon but since I’ve been cooped up for two days I decided to go for it. Once again I misjudged what proper attire should be. I finished the whole two miles but as I write this 1.5 hours after returning home I am still cold. Tomorrow is forecast to be warmer. Despite all my suffering this outing was a huge success tinged with a little sadness. Today’s featured image (above) is an American Bald Eagle marking (for me) the official opening of Eagle Season….

December 16, 2021

Environment:Start Time: 3:20 PM Temperature: 51 degrees Sky: Cloud filtered sunshine. Mornings remain quite chilly so I’m sticking to later afternoon walks. Not to say that these afternoons are wildly toasty. When I walk in the mornings I often start out dressed warmly and end my walk quite overheated. Now days I start out dressed lightly and as the Sun sinks I get less and less comfortable. Other than that ,things are not changing much day to day. I keep hoping to run across an Egret or an Eagle or something else more exciting than Mallards. Today’s featured image is…

Environment:Start Time: 3:25 PM Temperature: 59 degrees Sky: Cloud filtered sunshine with light breeze. The last day of November closed out in a spectacular display of color. Fortunately I showed up today with the my wide angle kit intending to get some scenic shots before every last leaf has abandoned its tree. I started a little late today and the Sun was setting on me when I noticed that the clouds in the West were teasing what could be another beautiful sunset. So after shooting a few typical scenic images posted here and below, I hustled up to my favorite…
