No one will protect what they don’t care about;
David Attenborough
and no one will care about what they have never experienced.
When I rode to the coffee shop this morning it was 67 degrees and 91% humidity with a 30% chance of rain. There was a short moment of confusion as I felt like I woke up in Ohio or maybe North Carolina or Florida. Sure was not a normal Colorado morning. On my way home I took this image at one of the bridges that crosses over Spring Creek. I’ve wanted to stop here before and get a few images of the dogwood plants and those lovely leaves in this area, but never have. Well, today was the day. In these later years of my life I now enjoy making time to stop and experience, and not just take a photo, of what I normally just glance at. Everything is green along the creek which has plenty of shade and the constant flowing small creek. It is a much different scene than our open prairies where the sun has been bearing down on them for 3 weeks now. We need rain. I hope you are enjoying the day!!

What a vibrant green. A worthwhile stop, I’d say. We got a little over an inch of rain yesterday. Good but not nearly enough, however, I feel a little guilt wanting more rain when so many are being flooded. It has cooled off for a few days. Have a good weekend, Monte!

We finally received about .2 inch of rain yesterday afternoon. But, as you say, that ain’t enough. However, the smell of rain was intoxicating and refreshing. Even this morning the musty smell filled my nostrils as I rode to the coffee shop. I hope you have a good weekend, also!
