I woke up Thursday to a sultry morning. In Denver? A night of thunderstorms was just ending, and the Buck Moon watched over it all.
An early bike ride and sunrise on a US holiday was dark and emblematic of these times.
I surprised myself riding my bike in the dark an hour before dawn, but I had some rocks to photograph!
School's out for summer, and Bear Valley is still and quiet on a weekend morning.
It was not a good day to be a fish, judging by the numbers of those fishing along the banks of the South Platte River in Waterton Canyon.
We return to a familiar setting renewed by Summer's growth and a day of sun and storms.
Last time I shared images of Hutchinson Park was from the depths of Winter. My, how things have changed!
Won't you guess my pain? Devil's Head has a trail that showed no sympathy to my knees!
Weather forecasts indicating a cloudy morning predicted a pre-dawn race up the valley for a clear Colorado HIGH SKY!
To mark the occasion of the half-anniversary of Colorado HIGH SKY and Memorial Day in the US, let's focus on the journey, not the destination.
I have a bunch of photographs of the HIGH SKY to share, so let's pull some of 'em from the grab bag!
My last visit to the South Platte was marked in this journal by a dedication to my folks!
