365 Days of Education

October 8 – Snowing

Of course, the day after I put up a picture of a snowman tchotchke in the sun, it snows.

September 25 – Dixon Reservoir

Another still-water shot today from my hike around Dixon reservoir. It had been pretty low before the rain and the algae was taking over. Looks much better now.

September 24 – Riverbend Ponds

It was dead still after we dropped Cody off at school and headed to the Riverbend Ponds Natural Area.

The morning sun was bright and the clouds to the west make this picture look as though I had run it through the tiltshiftmaker.

I didn’t.

Further along where the trail follows the Poudre River, we happened upon a couple of mink (I checked the CO DNR site to be sure) playing. I wish I could have been fast enough to get a picture. Mink are not something you see everyday.

September 18 – Flower

The roses in front of the house are still looking good. I was sitting on the porch reading and noticed the light glowing through this one.

August 31 – Pumpkin Patch

This patch has grown from this: July 19 to the giant patch above.

August 26 – Fire sky

Another amazing pre-dawn sky.

August 25 – Giant Flower

I’ve tried a couple of times to get a picture of these enormous flowers. I almost stuck my hand in the shot to show how truly large the blossoms are. Almost.

I’m guessing 12″ – 15″ on a 6 ft tall bush.

August 22 – Raspberries

Not my best photo, but the best one of these berries. I think I need to slow down and take more shots if I expect to get one really beautiful one.

August 20 – rose

August 18 – Sunrise

I was up early to catch a flight.
