It is the last day of July and I’m surprised by how green we still are. I found these contrasting light and shadows on campus and love the vibrant green. Have a wonderful day!
We’re Still Green

After the Rain
Water Drops After the Rain Both Friday, Saturday and into Sunday morning we had lite rain and mist, the gentle sort of rain that is hardly noticeable but everything is wet. The rain let up about mid morning Sunday. I could see the raindrops on the bushes outside my condo so I grabbed the camera to see what photograph may be given me.
This past weekend was graduation so all around campus traffic was a mess and you might as well forget about finding a table at any restaurant. Needless to say there were all sorts of colorful umbrellas everywhere. More photo opportunities. 🙂
I’m writing this on Sunday evening and scheduling it to post on Monday morning. And, the weather app is predicting more rain on Monday. Hope everyone has a super Awesome week.

The Grass
As I walked out of Lory Student Center I noticed the back lit grasses and made another attempt at capturing and image I’d like. I have not been pleased with my images of back lit grasses but this one I’m pleased with.

What Happened to the Grass?
Not looking too healthy after scalping and thatching Since arriving in the Phoenix area, I’ve made 3 trips to visit my parents in Gold Canyon. A couple weeks ago I was shocked to see the condition of the golf course in their community. The grass that was green the week before now looked like it was dying, and it was. So, what happened?

Raindrops on the grass 
Shrooms It was nice to see blue skies and sunshine yesterday after almost 4 days of constant rain. Found this image on my way to coffee. And, when the ground is soaked we also find a few mushrooms popping up.

More Coming
Melting snow, shadows and blades of grass The snow is pretty much gone after a couple of warm days but Nature is planning on sending us more moisture in the form of snow on Wednesday. I took this image last Saturday after our snow on Friday. Nature makes simple and pleasing art.

T’is a Cold Morning
Sunrise at 3 degrees along Spring Creek Trail … here in Colorado. They are forecasting temperatures not to rise above 32 degrees F until Saturday. Night time temperatures down around zero. I saw this scene as I headed for the coffee shop. It does not totally depict just how cold it felt. However, Colorado winters have a plus side in that the sun will melt the snow and ice even when we are below freezing temperatures. Stay warm!

Found Along the Trail
Found along the Fisher Natural Area Trail. One of my favorite areas to walk that’s near my condo.

Caught
Caught in the Grass I found this leaf caught in the tall grass along the Fisher Nature Area. It seemed to be suspended in the air so I took a shot. When we take the time to notice each leaf has a specific look. The shape, color, and size are all dependent on how much light, water, nutrients, insects and weather. I walked past this leaf a couple days after taking this image and it was gone. I assume blown away during one of the windy days or disturbed by someone passing by.
