Light Show at Night

The popular fountain in City Park was struck by lightening a couple years ago. This year it was repaired much to everyone’s delight! Typically the lights changed color, but just my luck my best shot was a colorless one! Guess I’ll have to go back and try again.

On this visit to Daniel’s Park, I was rewarded with Bison hanging out close to the road. The snow was covering their food source so dinner of hay was delivered. They stood munching close by, not minding me there at all.

Daniel’s Park Road is a dirt road, not a busy street, but still it amazes me how many people take this route. Guess since it’s one of my favorite places to visit, it must be the same for others. Sunsets from this ridge are always spectacular.

Bill is enjoying a delivery of fresh hay tonight, as the ground was covered in snow.

Sundown is a great time to go exploring the city for different angles and images. I so enjoy the Boat House at City Park for it’s interesting architecture and great views of the lake and beyond.

Navy of City Park

Not many people know Denver has a Navy. Now you do.

The Best Laid Plans

I first spotted this scene when the water was perfectly calm and peaceful. It was reflecting the pavillion in a lovely inverse.

As I walked up getting ready to capture the image, a couple with a loaf of bread also approached.

You know the rest of the story. Bread and ducks make waves. Waves mess up the calm and peaceful reflection.

Oh well.

Maybe next time.

I love the magical light that comes just before the sun falls over the horizon. The light doesn’t linger long enough at the end of day. Maybe that’s why it’s special, scarcity makes it so.

Shadows and Light

On a winter afternoon the shadows and light also means the difference between warm and cold. The last rays of sunlight warm a body, but soon the cold sets in.

Winter is Coming

No kidding! When traveling Trail Ridge Road anytime of year, winter is coming!

I once rode over this trail on my bike with a group of people. Two young ladies in the group were from Texas. On top of the mountain I watched them use duck tape to secure plastic shopping bags to their very cold, red, sore bare legs.

These Texans couldn’t get over how cold it was in June.

“Honey” I wanted to say, “you are standing at 14,000 feet above altitude. It’s never summer here.”

DUH.

Flatlanders.
