COLORADO: Storm clouds illuminated by setting sun in Rocky Mountain National Park. A dusting of snow on Longs Peak in the distance. Fall is here, and Winter is on its way. I love this time of year…the cycle of renewal begins.

Morning view of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park dusted with overnight snow. All the high mountains around the valley have a bit of snow this morning.
Nice to know that the universe still works and we are taking another lap of the Sun on schedule, again. 9/17/2025

NOAA: The early-mid summer (May-July) OUTLOOK for the Northern Rockies looks like it will be <significantly> warmer and drier....worrisome for wildfire development and stressed fisheries as summer progresses.

PANORAMIC VIEW: A year ago today….at the confluence of the Little Colorado River with the main Colorado River. Great group of friends in the Grand Canyon for a few weeks.
Such a peaceful and humbling place. I love the Canyon - it is a healing place in a crazy world.
