Last night’s starburst at sunset was a nice end to a good weekend along the Colorado Front Range. Hope you had a good weekend and are safe and healthy.

Lift Off
While driving along Weld County Road 13 this evening I encountered hundreds of Canada Geese in this massive cut corn field. As I crested this small hill many of them took to the air. I stopped and got off four shots before it was all over. I missed the best part. When you enlarge the image you can see hundreds more of the geese still on the ground. There are also three goose blinds made of bales of hay. So, I figure the farmer is making a few dollars from the hunters. It was also quite noisy when they lifted off.
Today was a lovely day, blue skies and sunshine. The wind began to blow this afternoon and you can see the clouds building up over the mountains. Always a good indication that something is in the air; snow tomorrow night. Have a great weekend!

heals troubled spiritsAwoke to a light snowfall again this morning and it’s cold. It’s a good morning to journal and read. Later today a friend is coming over for lunch. The above is my first attempt at a tanka. Have a great day!

Last Night’s Sunset
Think I’m gonna send Adobe a suggestion for them to add an automatic Remove Contrails button in Lightroom.
And a side note: Amanda Gorman rocks!

Planted in our shoes…
sunset and the cloud formation from a week ago “I dream of a world where the truth is what shapes people’s politics, rather than politics shaping what people think is true…”
Neil deGrasse TysonIt is Wednesday evening. We have had overcast skies throughout the day, metaphor for the feel of our country’s woundedness. The wind has picked up and will blow into Friday with gusts up to 70 mph. Another metaphor for our troubling times. Sometimes we live in our heads more than in the world and therefore what we think we think we know, just ain’t so. Time for all of us to stay planted in our shoes. It’s the only place we can live.

Sunset
“Beauty is the illumination of your soul.”
John O’DonohueIt’s been a cold day. It started out with 9 degrees at 7:00 this morning. We may have reached 34 degrees. Even though it was cold I went to Reservoir Ridge Natural Area to journal and watch the sunset. Cloudless sky. Quiet. I needed it.
