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

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.
Just another tequila sunset. Longmont, Colorado, August 14, 2021.
Lori’s “celebration of life” was today. I wonder why some people come into our lives and then, for reasons — sometimes known, sometimes unknown — they’re not in our lives any more.
I can’t imagine what the wildfires are like out west, but I can see what our sunsets look like every night here in Longmont, Colorado: brown skies and deep red sunsets. Unfortunately the camera doesn’t do justice to what this really looks like.

Over the last week or two, no matter what else I do during the day or night — such as working on the Scala Cookbook v2, for Scala 3 — I’ve been taking the time to watch the beautiful sunsets here in Colorado. This is the sunset in Longmont, Colorado on July 18, 2021.
Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
Strangers passing in the street
By chance, two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can?

This was the sunset in Longmont, Colorado on July 14, 2021. I missed most of it, but caught it right here near the end.

I recently visited some family, and this is one of the photos from the drive home, somewhere in rural Colorado on June, 27, 2021. I don’t remember my exact location at this time, but it was right before or after I passed through Limon.
Today (April 8, 2020) is a day off for me, so I woke up at 4:30am and went up on the roof of the apartment complex garage, and took a few photos of the Pink Moon. These are some small versions of the best Moon photos, along with one of the Sun, which was coming up behind me from the east as the Moon set in the west over the Rocky Mountains.
First, the “Pink Moon” setting over the Rockies:
This is a photo of some white-tipped trees on a cloudy, overcast day in Louisville, Colorado, March, 2016 (a few miles east and south of Boulder, Colorado).
