On the road today to visit family. Here’s a chance to relive March 08, 2022. Pretty much the same stuff as 2024 so far. Environment:Start Time: 2:50 PM Temperature: 39 degrees Sky: Sunshine and clouds – cold breeze. Not a busy day this afternoon at Lake Pueblo State Park. Not many fishermen or ducks on the river and only one gull on the fishing pond. The real activity was mostly the melting snow – which ended up staring in today’s featured image. I liked the combination of snow and last Summer’s leaves. Snow is also captured in the image posted…

Winter weather persists. Even when I get decent light the trail conditions pose danger for aged photographers. It is hard to watch the trees and sky when you also have to watch where you step.

Environment:Start Time: 7:50 AM Temperature: 28 degrees Sky: All sunshine. Really rather chilly out on the trail this morning. Even so, it was worth the trip out. The featured image for today is one reason – an American Bald Eagle who didn’t let me get too close. Normally the eagle would be the big thrill of the day but not today! Pictured here is a Great Horned Owl, most likely female, sitting in the same nest that she used last year. She and her hubby have been hanging around the area for a while so I thought I’d have a…
