Five weeks in, and Mount Sopris finally gets snow my last two days here. Properly dressed at last.

I get one more week with this beautiful mountain view. The full(er) moon and cloud cover have created some lovely drama.

The passing storm gifted us with a double rainbow AND snow on the peaks tonight. Couldn't get the rainbow in one shot with the camera, so had to do a panorama with my cheap phone.

A double rainbow over a pasture. Mount Sopris with a dusting of snow on its two peaks.

Yet another storm. They are certainly happy to have the rain. On the left side of the mountain, the aspen trees are turning yellow. Hope to get up into the higher elevations later this week and get some fall photos.

Couldn't sleep at 2 a.m. the other night, so took several 15 to 30-second exposure shots of Mount Sopris by moonlight.

This mountain just keeps on giving! The fifth thunderstorm in 24 hours put on quite a light show tonight. Can't believe I captured this shot.

The skies today have been every-changing. From midnight lightning to veiled landscapes to dramatic rain shafts over this amazing mountain. Mount Sopris is a jewel in Colorado's crown. Love spending a month here each year.

Mystic Veil. Rain passing over Mount Sopris as two birds make their way down valley. This mountain never ceases to amaze me.

Spending another five weeks outside Carbondale, CO. Get to photograph Mount Sopris in all her beauty. This shot, taken from the deck, gives a hint of what's to come.
#mountsopris #cosmos #carbondalecolorado #photography
The photo is of some red cosmos flowers in focus with a blurred view of Mount Sopris in sunlight and topped with white clouds in a blue sky behind.

Landscape photo. A large snow-covered mountain rises on the horizon above a forest and a green spring town. There are some clouds in the sky. In the foreground there are red rocks and the branch of a juniper tree.

Just minutes apart. How quickly the clouds in the lower photo start to burn off with the sunrise.

Happily not shopping today while I spend no time on oligarch media. Enjoying the @bluesky community and revisiting one of my favorite places.

Love this mountain. It can go from serene to "showtime!" in a matter of minutes. Mount Sopris, Carbondale, Colorado, USA.

Photo of Mount Sopris capped by bright white clouds, a strip of cobalt blue sky, and a band of dark overhanging clouds at the top. There is a dusting of snow on its peak.

I have an amazing opportunity each year to house sit for six to eight weeks in the Colorado mountains. This is a tiny sampling of the thousands of photos I've captured from the windows. 😍

Celebrating that year I finally hiked to the summit of Red "Hill." (I'm old. It was a big deal.) Carbondale CO USA and Mount Sopris in the background.

Apolitical distraction: Fall of 2023, drama in the skies over Mount Sopris, Carbondale, CO, USA. Continue to seek beauty in troubled times.
#mountsopris #carbondalecolorado #photography #melindabhipple
Dramatic clouds obscuring the tip of Mount Sopris, and a thin band of cloud running along its base. Mount Sopris, the base dark in shadow, snow on the peak, a band of bright white clouds at the top, a sliver of blue sky, and dark dramatic clouds overhead.

This mountain. ❤️ Not only obsessed photographically, but I've spent countless hours trying to capture the ever-changing moods in watercolor.
