Where to Find the Best Ribs, Brisket, and Pulled Pork In and Around Boulder Warm weather in Boulder brings longer days, more time outside, and one thing that always sounds right this time of year: barbecue. That slow-smoked flavor, the smell of hickory in the air, and plates stacked with ribs and brisket just hit differently when spring and summer roll in. Boulder may not be a traditional BBQ city like Austin or Kansas City, but what it does have is a small group of reliable spots that deliver real flavor. And when you expand just a few minutes outside the city, the options get even better…

This is an example of cropping. The original picture above has no character. What is it a picture of? The cropped version leaves no doubt that it is a picture of the moon. Shooting the moon or clouds through branches can present very difficult focusing challenges. So it's time to get out the manual on the phone or in hard copy and look up "manual focus." It will save the day.This crescent moon is a phone picture. I was taking pictures of the sunrise when this lit up crescent moon popped out as perfectly silhouetted against the sky. While the sky tends to be more clear during the cold weather…

The irony is not lost on me that audiences gripe about Hollywood not taking risks, yet they cheer when a thing they love is brought back in a new form. We don’t like it when things end, even when they end in a perfectly satisfying manner. Case in point is 2019’s delightful horror/comedy Ready or…

The irony is not lost on me that audiences gripe about Hollywood not taking risks, yet they cheer when a thing they love is brought back in a new form. We don’t like it when things end, even when they end in a perfectly satisfying manner. Case in point is 2019’s delightful horror/comedy Ready or Not. In that film, we meet Grace (Samara Weaving), a young woman preparing to be married. Her fiance’s family is fabulously wealthy, and they’ve made their money by creating a wealth of games. The Le Domas family has a tradition - when someone new marries into the family, the new member mu…

“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” Blaise Pascal The Power of Silence When was the last time you truly sat in silence? No phone. No TV. No noise. No scrolling. No distractions. Just you. That question hits hard today because so few people allow themselves to be still anymore. We live in a world filled with constant noise. There is always something buzzing, flashing, demanding attention, or pulling us in another direction. Silence has become rare. And because it is rare, it has become powerful. Why Stillness Ma…

Our bougainvillea has flowered, a harbinger of the coming spring and of the outdoor flowers it brings. When Bougainvillea Blooms Indoors, Spring Is Sending A Postcard In Boulder, we learn patience. Winter can linger, tease, retreat, and then come right back through the door with muddy boots. That is one reason an indoor bougainvillea feels so cheerful. When it begins to bloom inside, it feels like spring has sent a postcard ahead of schedule. Bougainvillea is one of those plants that looks almost too bright to be real.

Spring is waking up across Boulder—and that includes one of the most talked-about signs of the season: snakes returning to the trails. As temperatures climb along the Front Range, snakes are emerging from winter dormancy, known as brumation. This seasonal shift typically begins in March and builds through April and May, especially after a few warm, sunny days in a row. For hikers, dog owners, and anyone spending time outdoors, this is the moment to be aware—not alarmed, just aware. Why Snake Activity Is Increasing Now Snakes rely on external heat to regulate their body temper…
