The smokey Boulder air has as a collateral consequence a beautiful sunset. Longs Peak, different at every viewing, was striking as always! The sunset was serene and spectacular. To get these pics I had to pull onto the shoulder of Hwy 287 between Lafayette and Boulder, Northbound. Too far to the left and I would […]

  Sunset Point at Sunset                                         photo Lenny Lensworth Frieling Boulderites travel.  Summer and winter, North and South and all points in between. My rationalization for posting a sunset picture at sunrise is simple. Sunset in one place means it IS sunrise in another. I suppose that if you are a “flat earther” this presents some […]

I admit it. As one Boulderite to another, I am addicted. The rapidity of the addiction is scary, and I caution all of you! Beware of the addictive Lady Buffs’ Basketball! After only ONE game, against UCLA, I have already gotten tickets for tomorrow, Sunday’s game. PAC 12 USC is visiting, hopefully for the lessons […]
