Boulder FLOWERS Again?? Yes! I made that editorial and artistic and seasonal choice. While mud skiing is seasonal, the colors are not as bright. On the other hand, at Boulder Valley elevations? Parrot Tulip (Translation from the Latin: Very cool tulip). Apple Tree Flower. All Five Grafts Look Wonderful This Year! The lilacs, dogwoods, apple […]

I might think I know what I’m going to blog about. Then I look out and see something like this iris. This one is pretty crazy. All other thoughts go to the sidelines, and only this one flower fills my cerebral cortex. No color mixing here! These are colors straight from the tube a la […]

‘Tis the season to smell the Boulder flowers! While flower pics may cheer us during short winter days, it is hard to compete with the beauty and fragrance of lilacs in the Spring. Lilacs are in full bloom, and the perfume permeates the Boulder air. Flowering trees astonish us with the sheer mass of their […]

We Boulderites wonder: Is a camera phone a “real” camera? First, what’s wrong with the iPhone and the other top level camera/phones? I find two non-fatal flaws which I’d like to get out of the way immediately. No suspense for the bad news is necessary. I’ll let the cat out of the bag and we’ll […]

How do I take a good picture in Boulder? Happily the guidance provided by the basic rules of composition work in the Valley and work everywhere else as well. They work if the camera is a phone or a “serious” professional camera. Do not underestimate the phone camera! Mine is often smarter than the fancier […]

  Spindly-legged, Reddish-Brown Classic Coyote That’s not what our Boulder visitors looked like. Not at all. Our Backyard Beast!. Coyote-Wolf-Dog Hybrids Are Out There!     pic Lenny Lensworth Frieling Taller than a backyard table, and 50 pounds of what? BIG Coyote? I saw this unusual canid in the backyard, where a fox carcass was decomposing. […]
