This is a small image of a painting I bought a few years ago in Santa Fe, New Mexico, called “Starry Night Over Santa Fe.”

The Moon, heading for the back side of the mountains on the morning of December 3, 2020, somewhere in Colorado.

If you’re interested in what Colorado looks like, this is a photo from the Erie, Colorado area on November 3, 2020.

This is a view of a portion of the Rocky Mountains, as seen from Longmont, Colorado, on December 31, 2020.

Here’s a photo of the snowy Rocky Mountains, from Longmont, Colorado, on November 10, 2020.

While driving back from Golden, Colorado on November 10, 2016, I happened to be listening to Lady Cab Driver by the artist formerly known as Prince, and wondered if these days he would have called it Lady Uber Driver. I thought it was interesting how society in the present moment has an effect on music and writing.

And here’s a gratuitous photo of some cattle on the right and wrong side of the fence near Golden, a big field, and some mountains.

If you happen to walk down the right side street in Santa Fe, New Mexico, you’ll come across this Burro Alley painting on a wall.

One of my doctors has this photo/image of the altitudes of the mountains that make up the “front range” of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. I can’t read the signature on the lower-right of the image, but I appreciate whoever put this image together, as I can never remember the names and altitudes of the various mountain peaks.

This is a photo I took of the entrance to El Santuario de Chimayo in New Mexico. My notes say that the church was opened in 1816.

Drowning in the Cooler of Love,
Where everyone,
Would love to drown.

I saw this “Yogi Bear Eats Here” sign at the cherry pie place on the drive up to Estes Park, Colorado. Apparently they had been having some problems with one or more bears eating out of their garbage dumpsters.

John Mellencamp and his band, playing at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver, Colorado, last night, July 31, 2015. Click the image for a large, hi-res image. (I was seated in the third row, woo-hoo.)

I can appreciate this sentiment, seen outside a local Whole Foods store.

Here’s a photo of a snow white tree in Louisville, Colorado, one day in March, 2018. I was headed to a doctor’s appointment in Louisville, so this was probably somewhere between 7-8:30am. The full size image (not shown here) may be the prettiest photo I’ve ever taken in Colorado.

This is a photo of some snowy trees in Louisville, Colorado, on March 27, 2018. I had to get up early to go to a physical therapy appointment and I was rewarded with this view.

Broomfield, Colorado: Somewhere during the evening of April 16, 2020, I woke up and noticed the bright snow-white tree outside my window being lit by some outdoor lights, and my favorite star (Venus, actually) in the sky. For the record, we had about six inches of snow during the last 24 hours.

I haven’t figured out where one town ends and the next begins around here, but this is a field of prairie dogs I saw while on a walk last week in either Broomfield or Louisville, Colorado. (The snow is gone this week. It usually doesn’t last very long.)

Per the BoulderCast website, these are the largest snowstorms in the history of Boulder, Colorado.

I was going through some photos recently and came across this one of The Feed Store Church, which is between Alamosa and Monte Vista, a rural area in southern Colorado.

I pass it when I drive back home after visiting Taos, Los Alamos, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Based on its name I thought it was some sort of a combination of a feed store and a church, but it turns out that it’s a church.

Seeing that we had another snow storm here in Colorado, I thought I'd share another photo of El Sanctuario de Chimayo in the winter. (El Sanctuario de Chimayo, near Santa Fe, New Mexico)
