Last weekend, we tried to hike up to Rock Cut to see the white tailed ptarmigan (these pictures are from almost exactly a year ago), but the constant 40mph headwinds turned us around.
We'll try again this weekend

While in Denver, be sure to check out the exhibit, Kent Monkman: History is Painted by the Victors. It is amazing work on such a grand scale that it is well worth seeing it in person. #KentMonkman #ChiefEagleTestickle

I think they're clearing debris out of the Big Thompson. I don't want to be the one hanging from that crane!

You had me worried--i looked up Siberian Squill and found it was also called Spring Beauty. Luckily it's a different Spring Beauty than the one I look forward to every year
