October Snow

We had an big early snowfall this week.  Nearly 2 feet blanketed the area, knocking down tree limbs, closing schools and hastening the retreat of fall.  I say early because usually we get our first significant snowfall on halloween night.  I know because I have been in the trick-or-treat chaperone business for the past twelve years.  :)

Walk at Sawhill Ponds

This morning was a beautiful morning and to celebrate, I took a camera walk at Sawhill Ponds.  The ponds are an open space area owned by Boulder County which used to be a gravel quarry.  It's a popular spot to walk, birdwatch or fish and I'm lucky to live just a few minutes away.  Here are a few shots from my walk, too bad I didn't have a microphone as the birds voices were quite animated.

 

 

 

 

To view a shot of a goose egg after a run-in with a fox go to my Image-of-the-Week.

Sawhill Ponds and the adjacent Walden Ponds are located off of 75th Street, between Jay Rd. and Valmont Rd, about 5 miles east of Boulder.

Fall in Colorado

What a beautiful fall we have been having. The weather has been warm and the leaves have reached their full splendor unchecked by snow or wind. This is one of my favorite times of the year and a great time to look back upon the beautiful summer and be grateful for all of the wonderful memories. Below is a tree I pass each day as I go to work. Most of the year I don't notice it but this past weekend it turned a beautiful vibrant gold. The light didn't quite cooperate when I had my camera in hand but you get the picture. I'm lucky to live and help people find a place to live in such a beautiful place.
