Alpine tracks
The Pikes Peak Cog Railway is one of the highest in North America. The ride and views are highly recommended.
Missouri Crossing
Humidity and smoke filtered most of the shorter wavelengths of light out of this sunset. This resulted in a dramatic red sun leaving its trail across the waters of the Missouri River.
Breakout
The lighthouse on Wisconsin Point was found by vandals. I’m hoping this doesn’t get the jetty shut down, because it’s one of the best places to see a storm on Lake Superior.
Wahoo
Wahoo trees produce vivid pink and red fruit in the fall, which are enhanced here by the moisture from a recent rain.
Munchkin
The squirrels are hungry, alright? Or maybe hangry, because he wouldn’t stop barking on my porch until I gave him walnuts.
Red Canyon View
This is a view of the rocks which form Red Canyon near Cañon City Colorado. The color forms a striking contrast with that of the nearby mountains.
Greenery
This week we’re bringing back the guest photo. This is a country road near Naruszewo, Poland, picture by a friend. I bumped the greens but it’s just enhancing what’s already there, the trees and undergrowth can only be described as lush.
Heavy Seas
A blustery day often provides spectacular waves on Lake Superior, with strong East winds making the waves break impressively over the Superior Entry breakwater.
worker bee
I captured a honeybee collecting nectar off of a rabbit bush in Cherry Creek State Park. As a beekeeper, late season honey from flowers like these tends to be strongly flavored and crystalize easily, which is in contrast with early season clover and fruit tree honey. Whether you like this is a matter of taste.
Two birds
These two Red-headed Woodpeckers are part of a family of four that were catching bugs out of the air. The immature at the bottom of the picture almost missed the landing.
