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)

El Sanctuario de Chimayo, near Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the winter.

Now he walks in quiet solitude
The forest and the streams
Seeking grace
In every step he takes
His sight is turned inside himself
To try and understand

~ John Denver

As I continue to work through photos, this is a photo of a painting of a church, which I believe I saw in the lobby of the La Fonda hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Here’s a view of a highway sunset in Colorado from September, 2023. This was either on I-70 West, or more likely on the E-470 tollway.

August 27, 2017: My old cellphone (an iPhone) just died a tragic death, so I’ve been looking at cellphones, and also cellular carriers. Skipping the cellphone part of the story, cellular reception in Colorado is notoriously bad. I can barely make a phone call with AT&T in my apartment in Broomfield, CO, and I also have problems when I travel around nearby Louisville and Boulder.

Today I finally found a good map to show the problem at OpenSignal.com. This first image shows their cellular coverage map for AT&T in my area:

Dateline Broomfield, Colorado, November 30, 2011: This was a Rocky Mountain sunset on that evening.

My (former) cattle neighbors in Broomfield, Colorado, who I discovered on the afternoon of December 4, 2011.

This is a photo from the drive from Santa Fe, New Mexico north to Colorado, taking the back roads (Route 285) rather than the expressway. I took this photo in March, 2015.

Here’s part of the road (I-25) from Colorado to Santa Fe, New Mexico. It looks like a painting, but it’s not.

A “vote” sign in Santa Fe, New Mexico, November 1, 2018.

I saw this statue of a child, a dog, and a mask at the Foothills Hospital (Boulder Community Hospital) in Boulder, Colorado on October 28, 2020.

An orange sky at night in Broomfield, Colorado. I think this was taken in March, 2017.

I had a lot of chest pain last night, but if anything, these days that tends to keep me focused in the present moment, and make me grateful for each moment. And fortunately the universe has been giving us some amazing sunsets here lately in Colorado.

This was the rocky mountain sunset in Erie and Longmont, Colorado on the evening of October 22, 2021.

We’ve had a lot of beautiful sunsets around here lately. Hard to believe that just about four days ago we had our first snow of the season.

Look mummy, there’s an aeroplane up in the sky. :)

It’s that time again in Colorado, late September leading into October leads to a lot of balloons in the sky.

I had to go to the hospital in Boulder, Colorado this past weekend, and took this photo while driving in on Arapahoe Road. There are several beautiful views of the mountains and Boulder as you drive west into town on Arapahoe or South Boulder Road, and this is one of them.

This is one view of Mother Nature pouncing on Boulder, Colorado. (Boulder and the Rocky Mountains are under that blanket of clouds.)

I believe it was Stevie Nicks who sang about the Cooler of Love, and wouldn’t we all like to drown there.
