Not going to rage post on social media about politics.

Gonna leave that to the poasters and pundits.

Just going to share photos of all the beautiful public lands I like to visit and talk about the weather.

Oh. Dammit. This sucks.

Surprised I was as close as I was! Cheers 😇

I did this about three years ago. The only one that sticks with me is the monarch whose name was “King Ælereth the Unprepared” or something like that.

Apparently he as a good king but the pun on his name in old English was too hard to resist.

So glad Denver Nuggets basketball is back.

Mr. Nugget 7/7 from 3. Unreal.

LFG.

Platypus.

Surely I’m already the third person to mention it.

The Sierra Nevada from the Alabama Hills for #MountainMonday

A road leading to a wall of high mountains.

Black and white image but the editing process intentionally left a bit of color on the road.

Without a doubt craziest 4Q in memory.

Two consecutive TD passes that were ricochets to start? Just bonkers.

Omg 🥰

Sick of people posting that “hate aged people”, some of us are aged and ugly for different reasons.

I’m sorry. I’m not a hater at all. I just don’t wear sunscreen or use moisturizer and spend a lot of time outdoors in dry, sunny Colorado.

I’ve only spent a few weeks in the UK so can only speak to the American perspective:

We certainly walk in the states, but when we are in nature, off tarmac, that same from of locomotion magically becomes a hike.

It does seem silly 🤷🏼‍♂️

Red Rocks? 😬

Something autumnal for the #BlueSkyArtShow: an October hike with my son last year.

Oh, no doubt.

What’s your email? I got a bunch of crazy conspiracy theories you need to hear about. I’ll fwd: fwd: fwd: the best ones.

Should mention that only yesterday I briefly fell for an AI video.

I’m losing my edge.

My in-laws live on a lake in the north Georgia woods.

I was out taking photos as my child was exploring and I took maybe six shots of two swans on the other side of the lake w/ the telephoto lens.

Having downloaded the images it is obvious now that these were fake, decorative swans.

😞

I remember when this happened. Apparently it was an instructor at the business at the wheel at the time 🤣

When the aurora made an appearance at the low latitudes of Colorado May of 2024, I scrambled to get some photos.

Fairly mediocre, to be honest! But it made me happy to photograph them finally after seeing them for many winters living in the far north.

Thank you for sharing this.

I worked as a reporter in Homer many years ago and applaud the principled decision of these journalists.

Long week. For the weekend, here's something Jane Goodall told me in 2015:

"Too often we're told, 'think globally, act locally.' If you think too long globally, you become depressed. But twist it around, you act locally and see what you and your friends can do to make a difference."

I use a lot of custom feeds on BlueSky, but this one is one of my favorites for seeing good content from accounts I’m not following.
