Hello Sunshine. I am sure it is a wonderful feeling to greet the sun after a long dark evening in your burrow. Prairie Dog sunning in fall colors on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge.

Thanksgiving
A walk through the woods and then a wonderful meal with family. Truly things to be thankful for and the perfect way to spend the day.
Contemplative
Considering todays to do list or maybe not?
Sunning and scratching.

Feral
Once domestic but now free, an apple tree thrives when left to grow on it’s own terms underneath an old cottonwood tree. Something to aspire to….. and boy did those apples make a fine pie.
Stained Glass
When photographing this Chickadee it felt like looking into a wonderful stained glass window. This Chickadee was in a dark forest of thorny shrubs with just a hint of light shining in through the golden leaves that still remain on the trees behind. As a bonus we were treated to the choir singing away with a chorus of Dee-Dee-Dees from deeper within these bushes.
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.

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
Breakfast of Champions
We think Wheaties whereas Pacific Oyster Catchers prefer limpets. We have always had a hard time getting close enough to oyster catchers to get a really good photograph but this day low tide and the lure of a beach teaming with limpets must have outweighed their concern for our presence. There were two Oyster Catchers each going to town on the limpet population on this rocky beach. They would pry them up and them swallow them whole. A true breakfast of champions.
