Hi all, new to BlueSky. I am a hobby photographer/videographer in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. Audio is also a fun thing that I play around with. I went to community college for TV Broadcast and Live Sound Reinforcement classes and got a BS in Journalism and Media Communications. I love history too.

A windmill on a farm is lit up by the Fall sun. Yellow leaves on trees are in the background behind wood and white picket fencing.

This was across a dirt road from an artist's studio that I was visiting on a citywide art studio tour day.

The raised bed garden in our yard is empty of the tomato, cucumber, zucchini and other plants from this year. Everything was harvested before freeze warnings, then the stalks and limbs taken out for yard waste collection.

The raised bed garden in our yard with the various red and green support structures mostly taken down.

The tomato, cucumber, zucchini and other plants from this year were harvested multiple times over the summer and fall months.

Shadows of the porch railings overlay the raised bed garden close to sunset.

Fall scenes from the Poudre Canyon in #Colorado.

Not many people were out as it was an overcast day and colder, making for a great day for photos.

The Poudre River is visible as it curves up the Poudre Canyon. Yellow and Orange trees line the river below mountain peaks. A brown highway guardrail is visible in the bottom of the photo.

The Poudre River flows in between tall trees of fall colors, yellow, green and orange. A wood cabin is barely visible through the trees. In the background is part of a mountain.

A fall view from highway 14 in the Poudre Canyon. A dirt road with metal gate and barbed wire fencing running between wood posts runs up to tall trees with Yellow leaves. Fields of green and yellow grass are on either side of the dirt road. Part of a mountain face is visible in the background.

A view from the Dadd Gulch trail parking lot looking towards highway 14 in the Poudre Canyon. Wood fence posts create a barrier between trailhead and highway.

Yellow leaves on trees line the far side of the highway. A Yellow pedestrian crossing sign is at the far side of the highway. Mountains fill the frame above highway 14. In the upper left clouds and a little bit of blue sky are visible.

A view of a mountain stream with no water creating a path through the fall trees in the Poudre Canyon in #Colorado.

I went bolder than I usually would with the colors in my edit of this photo to get the sense of the fall colors.

A view of a mountain stream with no water creating a path through the fall trees in the Poudre Canyon in Colorado. Taken on the Dadd Gulch trail looking at what would seem to be a hiking path, but is really an empty stream bed. It got me at first.

A few more scenes from Rocky Mountain National Park in #Colorado last week.

Although these images give the impression that it was quiet, there were many, many people around looking and competing for the same views.

A meadow of yellow leaves on trees and shrubs sits under a dark sky of storm clouds over a mountain range in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.

A green meadow with several large rocks contrasts with yellow trees and shrubs on the far side. Evergreen trees sit further back. The sky above is full of curly clouds from a storm.

Yellow and orange leafed trees sit at the far edge of a meadow in contrast to the green Evergreen trees. A mountain range in the background has soft light falling on it from storm clouds above.

The clear water of Bear Lake sits in front of many Evergreen trees and one part of a mountain range. White clouds are visible in the sky above.

Thanks. It was beautiful. I was spoiled by going up the Poudre Canyon the day before with minimal traffic and leaf peepers. I still have to edit those photos.

Scenes from Rocky Mountain National Park in #Colorado last week.

Some folks followed park regulations, others seemed to be going wherever they wanted off trails. It was beautiful, but it is hard to recommend going with all the chaos.

An aspen tree has yellow and gold leaves contrasting the green Evergreen trees behind. A river stream flows in front of rocks and the trees on the opposite side.

The Alluvial Fan area of Rocky Mountain National Park was a zoo of people so finding a moment for this photo without people was difficult.

A set of aspen trees has yellow, gold and red leaves contrasting the green Evergreen trees behind and to the side of the aspen trees.

Mountains behind the meadow are covered in snow. Clouds from a storm pass over the mountains.

A peaceful bench near the water at Riverbend Ponds in #FortCollins #Colorado.

This was a black and white 35mm image I took as part of a high school #film photography class in 2009. The darkroom there really got me into photography.

This is Fred, a neighbor's cat taking in the action of a neighborhood block party sticking out his little pink tongue. He is a grey cat with a little bit of white on his chest. Fred is sitting on a white plastic table under a tent. There are a few metal chairs around the table. Fall leaves cover a lawn in the background.

Our Golden Retriever, Ada, was smiling with her pink tongue sticking out last night. It made for a very cute picture.

The "water wall" in the background is large vertical tubes filled with water and has light coming through.

The sun was hitting the leaves at the right moment for things to be lit up nicely. It is getting dark much earlier in the evening, so more sunset pictures are possible.

Oliver Homan @oliverhoman.bsky.social · 8d

The trees here in #FortCollins #Colorado are finally starting to turn more red than yellow. It may look more like all red, but there is plenty of pink in the leaves as well.

A long cement sidewalk and driveway are visible along the paved street.

It was a New York Times recipe. I think this is a gift link :)

Oliver Homan @oliverhoman.bsky.social · 8d

It certainly was good. I had not done any real cooking for awhile, so it was nice to get back into it a bit. The meal took quite a while to make, even with two people (me and my mom) working on it together.

Our family had things set up so that we could share Prime shipping on all our accounts. I got an email a few months back saying that that would not work anymore. The suggested price was too much for me by far. I wasn't using Amazon a lot before, but I have no reason to now without Prime.

Dinner last night was a homemade soup of butternut squash with coconut milk over noodles. Parsley and onions made for good toppings. It was very thick and creamy, making for a great Fall meal.

A soup of butternut squash with coconut milk over noodles. Parsley and onions made for good toppings. It was very thick and creamy, making for a great Fall meal. The soup is in a blue porcelain bowl set on a white plate. Metal knife, spoon and fork make up the rest of the table setting. The dishes are placed on a small wooden table with markings from many years of use.
