As always, the lighting on the mountains  and the lighting on clouds is never the same. If we insist on being technical, this is a sunrise, not a sunset. BUT I love the image. And if a reader were to see this in the morning, Friday morning for example, then we’d have the sun […]

If you take this Boulder sunrise picture, the picture I felt like sharing, and look at it upside down, it should work as a sunset picture for tonight. We’re still basking in the goal of the hard-won Lady Buff‘s victory on Sunday over USC! The juxtaposition of the orange and blue, complimentary colors, are what […]

Did you ever wonder what the different names for the phases of the moon mean? Is your knowledge of waning beginning to wax? Good news! The phase of the moon is the same in Boulder as it is in the rest of the world. If we have a full moon, the entire earth sees a […]

Sunday Sunrise Spectacular! The Boulder sunrise red can take over the sky! I suspect it is a physiological-sociological phenomenon. If sunrises were not often beautiful, uplifting, inspiring, and colorful, as well as accompanied by coffee, would we ever get out of bed in the morning? Of course we would!

Some think that presents me with a huge hurdle.  I have experienced some rather dramatic health challenges, and at […]

Winter frigid mornings in Boulder, land of the BUFFS, look different, feel different and sound different. It even smells different. The snow crunches underfoot, our breaths are frosty, and early risers are in for a bit of a cold shock! Of course extra care for bikes and cars is mandatory. Care for the machinery and […]

Boulderites KNOW that only fools and tourists predict Boulder weather. That used to be true. I believe or at least strongly suspect that the extreme weather we’ve been seeing worldwide is the result in most significant part of climate change. Floods, rains, high temps, low temps, snow amounts, glaciers melting, and on and on. Short […]

Photo Lensworth         Fern Wall on the  Divide shouting “impending snow.” Boulder’s fern walls and juncos (the bird) are our own Boulder harbingers of snow. Photo Lensworth    Black-eyed Junco, predictor of snow, ground-feeder. The Black-Eyed Junco has a dark top half and a light bottom half. Boulder welcomes them with open […]
