Saw this on my alley walk today. It has to be new to this location - I've never noticed it before. But it's cute 🐶 #Boulder #Colorado
A box filled with sticks is attached to the base of a tree. The green sign attached to the box says "Welcome to the Boulder Dog Library. Take a stick - leave a stick"

Happy #caturday from Merckx the Cat #CatsOfBluesky
A lynxpoint tabby with tufted ears is laying on a gray blanket. She has one shoulder against the human’s leg and is staring at the camera. Her front paws are crossed just a bit and she looks very cute.

Did a lovely hike for a friend’s birthday in the South Mesa trail area. Such a beautiful area, especially this time of year #Boulder #Colorado
The Boulder flatirons from the start of the Mesa trail from the South Mesa parking lot. In the foreground there are fall colored shrubs and in the background are the flatirons, with Devil’s Thumb visible. The sky is blue with a few white, wispy clouds.

In solidarity with Canada, I'm drinking one of the fantastic Sour Ales that I brought back from our recent trip to Victoria BC. I had some of the best Sours while visiting friends there. Here's to better times, when we don't have a petulant baby mismanaging the country #beer

Nothing is better than open windows on a fall day #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky
Two lynxpoint tabby cats on a cat condo looking out windows in a corner. Merckx (on the left) is on the window sill looking out the east window, while Madeleine (on the right) is sitting on the top perch of the cat condo looking out the south window. Outside is a lovely sugar maple with yellow and red leaves.

Seen at my cardiologist's office 😆 🎃
A fake skeleton decoration sitting in a chair in a doctor's waiting room with a red spider in its mouth. It's covered with fake cobwebs and holding a sign that says "Still waiting to be seen"

I had totally forgotten that I had "bought a brick" for the back patio at the Trident coffee shop, way back during the pandemic. This is my first time seeing it. Pretty cool #boulder #bouldercolorado

Madeleine (Maddie) has had a rough 3 week. But after an ultra sound, enema, blood & urine tests, she is nearly back to normal. And her sister, Merckx, is very happy about that #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky
Two lynxpoint tabby cats are lying on a black fleece pad on a gray chair. Merckx has her back to the camera and is cheek-to-cheek with her sister, Maddie, who is up against the back of the chair. Merckx has her front let on Maddie, which is so cute

A lovely day for some gravel biking around #BoulderColorado. This trail is called Open Sky, which seems appropriate. @bwade913.bsky.social
A gravel trail traveling away from the camera with an open, green field & a fence to the left and some trees & low shrubs on the right. In the far distance is the Boulder foothills. The sky is mostly blue with some white close on the horizon.

I really enjoy riding the new Cobalt trail in Boulder Valley Ranch. It’s much nicer to climb than to descent (IMO) #Boulder #BoulderColorado #GravelBiking
View of the Boulder foothills from the Cobalt trail in Boulder Valley Ranch. It’s very brown with a few scrubby plants. The sky is gray. View of the Cobalt trail in Boulder Valley Ranch. It’s very brown with a few scrubby plants. The sky is gray.

We sure miss the kitties when we go on vacation, but our pet care folks have a great portal and upload the best pictures of the cats from every visit. Here are a couple of favorites for #Caturday
A lynxpoint tabby named Merckx is laying down on a gray rug and looking straight into the camera. She has blue eyes and a slightly annoyed expression, probably because we just left for vacation and she’s never happy about that. There is a cat toy in front of one of her outstretched paws. She has tufted ears that are hard to see in the picture. A lynxpoint tabby named Maddie (aka Madeleine) is sitting on a bag and licking her lips with her tongue out to the side of her mouth. She is looking to the right of the camera.

Staying in our favorite place in Durango, right on the tracks of the Durango-Silverton tourist train. Good thing it only runs a few times a day. And this particular no-car engine runs every evening, back to the station. I have no idea why. #Durango #Colorado

A good day for a protest - and my first! I’m certain it won’t be my last #50501 #NoKings #Protests #HandsOff
A woman with blonde hair and a green jacket (that’s me!) is holding a pole with 2 flags - the inclusive/progressive flag & the Ukraine flag (only partially visible). She is wearing sun glasses and facing the camera. To the right is a woman with her back to the camera holding a sign that says RESIST. The are standing on grass next to a road.

Spent a short time in Zion before heading back to Colorado. The park was too crowded for us so we’ll go back during off season next time. But the town of Springdale was actually pretty nice and we had great views all around
A bluff ridge line stretching east to west at dusk. The bluffs are jagged and multicolored the sky is starting to turn dark, but still a beautiful blue with traces of cloud wisps. There is a small nearly full moon just over the middle of the bluff.

Sitting on the little patio before going out to dinner. Finally feeling like a desert vacation #arizona
A man wearing a cap and glasses is playing a guitar on an outdoor patio in the shade. Behind him on a stucco wall is a sun wall hanging. Outside the covered patio is a stone patio with a terra cotta fire pit. The sky is clear and blue.

I always love it when we get a bit of cold/snowy weather at home while I’m vacationing somewhere warm & dry. And then it’ll be greening up when I get back - perfect! #Boulder #Colorado #Arizona
A desert landscape - there are 2 Saguaro cactus midway in the photo with a gravely trail in the forground and a few more cactus in the background. It is very dry looking. The sky is blue with a few white, puffy clouds.
