Photo closeup of red rock formation that has a somewhat circular opening in it. Through the opening, a distant mountain can be seen with a green forest in the foreground. Blue sky above the mountain with puffy white clouds. This is part of the “Siamese Twins” rock formation in the Garden of the Gods park that I hiked to earlier this week in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

    Good day,

    I can’t believe it’s been twelve years since I visited Glacier National Park. In its honor, I’ll share a some views.

    Be everwell.

    A view of a stream cutting through a defile, pine trees in the background on the right, a tree with changing leaves on the left, a mountain slope behind it. The sky is hazy.

    A placid lake is framed by trees that have largely lost their leaves. Lining the lake on the right are pine trees and larches. In the background, mountains stretch into the distance beneath a clear sky, though clouds are in evidence in the distance.

    Taken in autumn, the view looks over trees adorned in red leaves, one with golden leaves lining the border on the left. Peaks rise from a forest of color in the background, the mountains silhouetted, the sky mostly clear.

    On the far side of a grassy field are a line of short pines. Beyond them, beneath a mostly clear sky, are a line of rocky peaks made up of sedentary rock, talus slopes around their bases. The layers in the peaks are obvious.

      A photograph of two stalks of grass, arching from near the bottom right corner through the diagonal toward the upper left, slightly separated. The grass have branched seed heads that are starting to turn golden, while the stalks are still green. The background is out of focus, but with some discernible structure from the trees and bushes in the background, creating a mottled blur of dark against lighter green bokeh discs.

            Yesterday, I hiked up to an alpine lake. It was part of a network of lakes connected by a stream. The trail passed through scenic meadows and wooded areas, plus by one of the other lakes. Enjoyed the view at the lake while having lunch before turning back. A great day!

            Photo of mountain stream as viewed from the bank looking upstream toward the mountains. The highest mountain peak seen is the destination where the alpine lake is. Green foliage with some evergreen trees line the stream.

            Photo of alpine lake as viewed from the shore. The far side of the lake is lined with a mountain range that is free of foliage except for a small amount of evergreen trees. This is Lake Isabelle. Elevation of 10,900 feet (3,300 m). It is in the Indian Peaks Wilderness west of Boulder, Colorado.

                This is a landscape format photo taken in the summer of a sunset, as seen from the shore of a larger lake. The sun was nearing the horizon and was creating a warm orangish glow in the sky, from behind some darker clouds. The reflection can be seen on the water's surface which is shimmering. Lower level mountains in the background are in silhouette. Even with all of this colour, a smaller band of blue sky can bee seen above the vibrant orange glow.

Along the left hand side a faint footpath curves through the green undergrowth to the left, with the ground becoming slightly hilly further back. most of the photograph is taken up by tall, straight spruce trees with sunlight filtering through them from the left. Between the two trees closest to a camera is the trunk of a dead and fallen tree that has become stuck at a diagonal between them, halfway up the frame.

                        Today I toured a bit of Garden of the Gods park (Colorado Springs) on foot. So many gorgeous rock formations! I hadn’t been there since my parents took me when I was 9 years old. It left a distinct impression on me then, even at that young age, and I was happy to return today as an adult. I also thought a lot about my parents’ excitement during the experience. I am “carrying the torch” and continuing the excitement.

                        Two large vertical red rock formations connected near the base. Dirt in foreground, mountain range off in the distance. Blue sky with puffy white clouds overhead. This is the “Siamese Twins” formation.

This time I drove the car up to a ridge in the foothills of the mountains, then hiked a loop along the ridge. The trail took me through a mix of forested areas, lookout points to see expansive views of the valley, and meadows. There were many beautiful wildflowers such as this in the meadows.

A bumblebee landed on one of the flowers just as I took the photo! The meadow has dry tan grass. Green evergreen trees on the horizon. This trail is in Mount Falcon Park out of the West Trailhead. This park is outside Denver, Colorado.

In front of him, a much smaller Sika deer fawn—its coat speckled with white spots—lifts its head to look closely at him, almost touching muzzles. Sunlight streams through the trees in bands, illuminating both animals against a backdrop of earth and leaf litter in shades of brown.

                                                I came across this tiny little dude - apparently an Ailanthus Webworm Moth - in the garden yesterday.

The moth has two antennae, one visible leg resting on the petal, and closed, bright orange wings with rows of white spots ringed in black. The moth casts a shadow on the petal. Beneath the moth, a blurred bright green coneflower cone and more petals. In the background, dark, blurry orange, green and yellow colours.

                                                  Another day, another adventure here in Colorado. Today, we took a very scenic walk along a river that flowed through a canyon. We began at the northern terminus of the Colorado Trail and walked several miles in. This section of trail is a dirt road— lots of cyclists riding their gravel bikes! Saw a number of bighorn sheep along the way.

Overhead sky is blue with some small puffy white clouds. Green foliage in foreground. This is the South Platte River along the Colorado Trail, Colorado.

All blooms are nestled among the shrubs’ very spiky, narrow green leaves. A bit of cloudy blue sky is seen behind the bushes, and the flowers glow in late afternoon sunlight.

                                                          Well, this was a first. Today, I went fly fishing for the first time ever! I had a lesson from a family member (left) who has lived here and fly fished his entire life. I also spent a lot of time watching the “master” at work. No outdoor adventure is complete without a dog (owned by the family member) who has accompanied him on fishing adventures since being a pup. A fun day!
