If you need me I’ll be up here with my friends. #RockinTuesday #Diptych

It’s Colorado’s 150th birthday. My family has been here since before statehood. I’m partial to the place. But most places anywhere in the world are good places. This is just what I know. #Colorado

A mountain framed by steep valley walls under a cloudy sky. The mountains is red mudstone common of the Maroon Bells wilderness near Aspen, Colorado.

Big waves in the big, blue Pacific Ocean as snapped from the southernmost point of the United States on Hawaii’s Big Island. #Big #Hawaii #BlueSkyArtShow #Pacific #Waves

Wind-driven waves crash into the quickly eroding volcanic rocky shore. The blue ocean is frothing with whitecaps. Blue skies and white clouds linger above the horizon. A green metallic structure occupies the right side of the frame.

Love the way fog manages to make the familiar something novel again. #forestfriday #trees

A foggy forest scene with a broad trail disappearing into the mist.

The best mountain views are often, but not always, from the tops of other mountains.

A view of high rocky mountains from high atop another mountain. Scene takes places in late spring / early summer judging by the appearance of the remaining snow.

Sunset after the rain. Snapped from my deck. From August of last year.

The sun setting below gloomy gray clouds while illuminating a low lying patch of fog above the forest in golden light.

Light and shadow on the great sand dunes. #AmericasBestIdea #BlueSkyArtShow #ShadowPlay #Colorado #ClassicMono

Sand dunes in black and white. A more abstract presentation of the dunes focusing on the contours. Cloudy skies but ample late afternoon light.

Happy Beltane.

After yesterday’s snow it seems appropriate to post this image of my dog on a snowy hike two years ago when we made first tracks on the local trails. Here she is posing for me on the edge of some rocks. #Colorado #SpringSnow #Edge #BlueSkyArtShow #DogsOfBlueSky

A black and tan dog stands on the edge of a snowy rock elevated over the local terrain.

Just under 5 inches in the foothills southwest of Denver at 7440 feet. #cowx

A measuring tape on a level surfaces measuring just under 5 inches of snow.

A small village carved into the stone of a cliffside in southwest Colorado.

Great Sand Dunes National Park, March 2019.

Towering sand dunes dwarfed by distant 14,000-foot summits covered in snow. Mostly cloudy sky.

Mateo 🍄@flyagaric· Feb 14

From Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, this old, ragged tree clings to the steep cliffs during a snowstorm. March 2019. The tree probably isn’t even alive, just wood. #Winterscape #AmericasBestIdea #BlueSkyArtShow #Wood #Colorado

Old tree on a dark cliff side surrounded by deep snow banks. Its roots are exposed. It may be dead. Heavy snow is falling in the photo.

Golden light filters through the low clouds, kissing the thin strand of forest at the end of the day. #Sunshine #BlueSkyArtShow #Winterscape

A small cluster of trees illuminated by late afternoon light coming through a gap in low clouds. The trees are on a lightly forested, steep mountainside covered in snow.

It was one of those days. Took the dogs for a short run because it was a bit too warm. After picking up the preschooler I ran another 5 miles pacing him as he went around a small lake. Wish I could enjoy this weather more. Been so warm and dry this winter I’m incredibly anxious about a dry summer.

Haven’t been posting much. Just sad an angry. But I’m still taking photos and playing the guitar. Snapped this crazy cloud about a month ago during that stretch of windstorms and power outages.

Wild clouds at sunset, orange and purple and gray, flare over construction equipment somewhere in the Colorado foothills.

“Whata Bod” is not a place in Montana. I rely on the National Weather Service forecasts to inform my travel. Absolutely unacceptable for the Missoula office to post an alert accompanied by a map with AI generated place names. I’m in Colorado but I am alarmed all the same. This is unacceptable.

Got the puppy a little Broncos shirt. They better win 😕

A small white colored dog with short stubby legs and a simple Labrador face wearing a Denver Broncos shirt. Blue shirt with orange trim.

Nothing quite like waking up hours before dawn and hiking uphill in the dead of winter through deep snow to gain a high vantage before the day begins. This snowy predawn scene is from a few years ago, when it still snowed in the Rockies. #AlpineStart #OpenHouse #BlueHour #BlueSkyArtShow #Mountains

Blue hour over snowy mountains snapped from a high vantage.

City skylines always look so apocalyptic from a distance, especially with a little bit of haze.

A city skyline emerging from layers of ground haze under a colorless sky.

Mateo 🍄@flyagaric· Dec 13

Winter sunrises high above treeline are the best. Love waking up hours before sunrise and trudging up the snow to gain a ridge. Maybe it will be an epic sunrise. Maybe just high winds. #BlueSkyArtShow #Mountains #alpinism #FavoriteThing #FavoriteThings

Creamy colored sunrise sky intersected by sharp snow colored rocky summits. Shot snapped high on an alpine ridge.

A recent favorite photo: my dog Indy atop Bear Peak above Boulder. My wife is approaching in the background. #Colorado #RockinTuesday #HikingDogs #Mountains

Tan Shepard mix standing near a rocky summit. The sun shines through thin clouds directly behind her head. A hiker approaches in the near distance. In the bottom left corner of the image the plains 3,000 feet below are visible.

The camera back photo that I snapped with my iPhone to demonstrate the authenticity of these colors is even more vivid.
