I passed 12 ppl on my walk & ONE said hello back to me. Not very CO. Then, this couple stopped as I was taking photos, said “hello”, we chatted about birds, she showed her beautiful photo of an 🦅- very CO. To anyone new to this state. Say hello. Because we’re nice here, damn it!
Haven’t been able to get out and take any photos for a few days but wanted to pop on and say “hi” to everyone. This is one of my favorite scenes from this fall. If you are traveling for Thanksgiving, be safe! Happy Wednesday!
This morning, I woke up at 4:30 a.m. Why? I blame old age. But today, I decided to take advantage of it. I got dressed, grabbed my cameras and headed to a gem of place in, wait for it…Commerce City, Colorado.

This is what some call “The Middle of Nowhere,” and it’s one of my favorite places in

A surprise from last night’s drive that I didn’t see until today - I was trying to get a pic of the pronghorn silhouetted against the mountains, but it seems I caught another prairie pal in the shot as well. 🤣🐇

Yesterday, I made a long day a little longer by taking a long drive, which I needed to rejuvenate my mind. I call this image “Take a right at the cottonwoods”. I hope everyone has a great day and don’t forget to feed your soul! 💛

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before - a shadow of the mountains behind the mountains during sunset. And it wasn’t a camera anomaly - I saw it as I was driving home (although maybe it’s a Jen anomaly 🤣). Can my smart and wonderful

friends educate me?
Here are some wildflowers on the

prairie, because I think we all need something beautiful and hopeful in our timelines right now. That’s all I have to say about that. Good night.
Good morning,

A few splashes of color to end the day. Remember, when something catches your eye, don’t forget to look around at what else is happening…you might be pleasantly surprised by what you see. 🤓

Tomorrow, it’s back to the grind. But before we officially say goodbye to the unofficial end of summer, I share with you one more humdrum

One more beautiful Jay day (January+May 🤣) before February reminds us where we are on the calendar.

Pastel sunset from Sunday night. Beautiful moments are often fleeting, which perhaps is what truly makes them beautiful. GN Twitter friends. Dream beautiful dreams! 💛

When you have only minutes to get down three flights of stairs and find something somewhat interesting to put in the frame before the color is gone 🤣

Thank you. Thank you very much! 🤓

After work, I saw a little dark cloud trying to be a big dark cloud and thought “nothing photogenic will come from that one.”
The little dark cloud proved me wrong. 🤣

With everything going on in the world, I hope this post provides a brief moment of peace. The fall colors tonight after the rain were beautiful and punctuated by a rainbow and wonderful golden-hour light.

It’s National Grasslands Week - a time to appreciate the natural beauty & historical significance of the U.S.D.A. Forest Service’s 20 national grasslands spread throughout 12 western states in the U.S. Enjoy a few of my favorite pics from the Pawnee in

The response to my last thread is humbling! I enjoy sharing pics from my home state, so if there’s a place you’d like to know more about, let me know. I need a new hobby 🤣. Remember, I still have a M-F job so it might take awhile. Meanwhile, here’s a shot from a local dirt road.
The great thing about getting up and on the road so early is that you get to witness quiet moments before they disappear - like this low fog near the river bottom of the South Platte.
