WTF GOP? When Biden was president this can of coffee cost about $16 US.

I took my dad out to lunch the other day and always enjoy driving past this horse ranch on the way to his house.

You see any wabbits, Gus?

If there's a better way to spend a Thursday than beside a mountain stream with two old dogs, I've certainly never heard of it.

The black-footed ferret is North America's most endangered mammal. Once declared extinct, their wild population has been rebuilt to roughly 400 individuals through captive breeding & reintroduction. This one was found near the captive breeding facility in Northern Colorado. #wildlife #conservation

EVERYONE LOOK!! A few weeks ago I caught a piece of cottonwood fluff out of the air and planted it. Now look!

No. I had to climb up the rocks at the top of this photo. It wasn't as steep approaching from the back, but I couldn't find the cache and after 20 minutes needed to climb down for some water. I was going to go back for a second look but decided to skip it. I figured once was enough. 🤣

On the way to a geocache I never found. A T4 rating in the Rocky Mountains is getting to be too much for this nearly 60 year old. But it was still a great hike. #geocaching #outdoors

I found this Woodland Pinedrop today. A member of the Indian-pipe family, it is a root parasite, and depends on its association with a fungus that is also associated with a pine tree. It produces very little chlorophyll and does not conduct photosynthesis. #nature #outdoors #Colorado

And so it begins. Lock your car's doors, folks.

This time last year we were getting ready to leave for Madagascar. This 400-year-old baobab tree was one of many highlights.

Some hungry Northern flicker chicks and their hard-working dad. Colorado. 🪶

A couple broad-tailed hummingbirds enjoying lunch on my dime. They didn't even leave a tip. 🪶 #birds #nature #wildlife #Colorado

It appears I'm going well in my retirement career as a farmer.

Mick fell asleep in the shade after our hike today.

We had a wonderful thunderstorm earlier this evening, then Mother Nature topped it off with this glorious sunset.

My first time growing garlic. If I had known how well they’d do I would have planted more. 🧄

Today is Well Gulch Wednesday. It’s was overcast and gloriously cool for our hike.

I found peace today. It was hiding here the whole time.

We don’t see a lot of monarch butterflies around here, so we were delighted to find this one on a milkweed plant near our house during our morning walk. I hope she’s laying eggs!

I traveled to the middle of nowhere today to visit my dad for Father's Day.

Please stop what you’re doing and wish Taz a happy 13th birthday! He’s a good boy.

Black-mantled tamarins. Ecuador. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #outdoors

A Western tanager stopped by for a drink while I was sitting by a stream today. 🪶 #birds #nature #wildlife #outdoors

I was sitting on our porch reading when the wind blew some cottonwood fluff onto my arm. I saw a little seed tucked inside so I decided to plant it. Maybe we’ll have a huge cottonwood tree growing in our yard one day. 🌳

My husband's photo of one of the parents bringing breakfast.

My husband and I got up early this morning to check out an osprey nest. They were quite a distance away and high up on a nesting platform, but we still managed some halfway decent material. One of my husband's photos is in the comments. 🪶

Apparently I can only upload one video at a time. Here’s the Pygmy Nuthatch at the opening to the same cavity as the Mountain Bluebird, just a few minutes after the bluebird left. I thought it was odd. 🪶
