Todays Weather Report
The weather sensing device, i.e. the camera in my iPhone, has just detected the polar vortex descending upon us with all it’s wrath and fury this morning. Does anyone remember when the weather report was just the weather report? iPhone camera and hipstmatic wet plate filter on a chilly Tuesday morning.
Early November
Early November has been kind. A full spectrum of color remains in the woods from green to yellow to deep rich red. The cottonwood leaves have all come down allowing the bark to shine and the branches to dance in blue skies and warm temperatures of a very long indian summer. Winter plans to make an appearance in a big way this week with cold temps that will surely cause the remaining leaves to fall. Autumn appears to be falling into winter. Photographed on the Wheat Ridge Green Belt, Wheat Ridge, CO.
Reflection
Double the pleasure and double the fun. Fall trees and sky reflecting nicely on a quiet Crown Hill lake in Crown Hill Park, Denver, CO
November Sky
Novembers sky is unique yet similar year to year and this year is no exception. Not quite winter not quite fall. Some trees still hanging onto their leaves while others have dropped them all. Yes, today feels like November. Crown Hill Park in Wheat Ridge, CO. Photographed using a Yashica- A TLR and Kodak Tmax 100 ISO film
Peekin’ Pekin
A domestic Pekin duck peeking out from behind the shrubs on the local pond. Last year the pond was visited by a domestic mandarin this year it looks like a Pekin has made this place his home. Not sure if these domesticated ducks flew the coop or were abandoned but it is fun to see them join the mix of winter visitors which are just starting to arrive.
Wood Duck and Dragonflys
A young wood duck and bright blue dragonflies enjoy a lazy afternoon on the local pond. Photographed last July at Crown Hill Park.
Golden Hour
Mallard enjoying the evening golden hour which is arriving earlier and earlier everyday. Making it easier to photograph the sunset after work, but getting up in the morning darkness is a bear.

Bronze
Even though storm clouds were lingering over the Front Range Foothills the sun delivered a warm farewell. A beautiful bronze sunset to end the day was like a slice of pie to end a meal. Have a great weekend.
After a Day of Work
After a busy day at work we all need some nature therapy. On this day the early evening thunderstorms were rolling in, but heck, things are green, a beam of light is shining through the clouds and if you walk to just the right spot in this busy Denver area park you get a perspective that allows you to breathe.
