It's Fire Season

And here we are again. It seems like half the state is on fire and unfortunately we are in the middle of a historic drought. All that smoke is casting an eerie pall over the city, but I can't really complain since my own house is not in danger of burning down. As of this writing, the Aspen Acres Fire is fast approaching 100,000 acres burned and at least 275 homes lost in Custer and Pueblo counties; the Ferris Fire is at over 57,000 acres, the Gold Mountain Fire is at over 31,000 acres, and the Willow Fire is at over 4,300 acres. Pray for rain.

A Sign of the Times

Seen at the garden tour a few days ago. This truck made all the same stops along the tour as we did so I spotted it multiple times throughout the day. I was sorely tempted to post this photo on Independence Day, but I played nice. 😉

2026 Colorado Springs Garden Tour (Part 1)

Happy Independence Day to my US readers! Last Sunday I hit up the annual garden tour with my friend JB. Most of the stops this year were in my brother's neighborhood, actually. I didn't take a ton of pictures, although as usual all the gardens were very nice indeed. More to come.

Here are the last couple of shots from my California trip a couple of weeks ago. These were taken on a stroll through my friends' neighborhood, which borders a semi wild space. Coyote sightings are a near daily occurrence, and the fauna is lush and abundant.

July 2026 Theme Day: Water

I can't believe it's already July. Crazy! Since it's the first day of a new month, that makes it Theme Day for City Daily Photo bloggers, and this time the theme is water. I find that incredibly convenient considering I just got back from the west coast! Here's a somewhat dramatic shot taken in Dana Point, California.
