At sunrise a *huge* orange pink cloud looms over the silhouetted peaks of Colorado’s front range

Love a well defined rainbow
left end of a rainbow with each color vibrant arches down from a grey sky in front of a hillside covered with trees and disappears into the water of a lake in the foreground

Today in sunrises…
Through dense fog you can make out a round glowing sun above a ridge of trees and reflected in the lake below. It’s nearly monochromatic and kind of eerie.

A small peace offering
First sunrise over wooded New England hills reflected in a calm still lake below a moss covered boulder cascading toward the water.

Today in metaphors for protecting yourself while remaining open…
A blooming cactus with wide open tissue paper thin layers of petals perched atop spike covered pedestals.

Brightest rainbow I’ve ever seen. Cropped phone photo, no filter. 🌈
distinct vertical beams of a rainbow’s colored lights shoot upwards from tree covered hills dwarfing the outline of mountains behind them

Update! The Bird family is proud to announce the arrival of their… (takes cover now)… Jočiks!
A birds nest built between a basketball hoop and its backboard with four grey puff ball baby birds sticking their beaks up pathetically as baby birds do.

A lot of things are so awful as to defy comprehension but being up front for one of your all time favorite bands is still so very good.
Peter Moren from Peter Bjorn and John shot upwards from shin level looking down at you from the top of the frame. Look out he might fall on you!

Well that was nice
A rainbow arches across a lake and is reflected in it, making a complete oval bisected by the bright green horizon with little houses under the trees on the shore

Spent the weekend stitching rage into joy
a 7” freehand embroidery of fire starting black and blue at the bottom and working its way up through yellows and oranges to reds. There are a few glass flower beads here and there.

Current state: All public lands, all the time
A dog lies by a firepit on top of a wooded hill in front of a white camper van in front of a lake in front of wooded hills. It’s a gorgeous National Recreation Area in Kentucky.

Always exciting to wake up to mountain lion footage
grainy black and white night time webcam image of a mother mountain lion at the edge of our driveway looking down the hill. A ways behind her two shining eyes are most of what you can see of her cub.

Mountains endure
The top of a pointy mountain sticks up through the clouds. Pine covered hills in the foreground, cloud puffs in all the gaps below the horizon line. It’s sunrise and so beautiful.

Nature, amirite?
a snowy mountain scene at sunrise. The sun peeks through the clouds and sends a single narrow vertical sunbeam down to the ground like a yellow stripe

Sun can’t quite find its way to us today. #Metaphor
A snowy mountain scene with trees in the foreground, hazy hills behind, and, in the gray white sky above, the sun shines dull behind the cloud cover.

Neighbors say Hello
In the mountains a small mule deer looks at you through a glass door, its big ears catching the sun. Behind it another bigger deer with bigger antlers grazes.
