Circumstances continue to deteriorate faster than I can lower my expectations. I probably need caffeine.

You would never believe that this sweet, dumb himbo of cat would do something like dropping a LIVE MOUSE at my feet while I was working at my desk today, and yet.

Agreed, a friend in Fort Collins sent a couple of pictures last night and they were pretty spectacular.

The Aurora borealis from southeast of Denver - I've never seen it this clearly here, pretty impressive.

Took a break from the general sense of doom to celebrate my kid's 21st birthday at Casa Bonita, and they did a great job on the decor this year.

There is a ghost hanging in the opening of the lighted tower, and the restaurant name says "Casa Boonita".

My husband got a picture of this one in our tree today, it scared the squirrels away for the rest of the afternoon.

I guess this guy hanging out in our tree explains the complete absence of squirrels today.

The clouds were moving from east to west from my vantage point by Aurora reservoir an hour ago, which seemed pretty strange considering the direction of the storms.

Ridiculous efforts to get them to eat from their assigned food dishes have thus far been unsuccessful.

Moxie outweighs Harley by at least six pounds, but he still wants to be the little spoon. #Caturday

Quote post with a picture you took in a National Park.

Here's one from Carlsbad, October 2024, and one from Mt Rainier, July 2021.
