Do animals in Boulder and elsewhere admire scenery? Dogs? Buffaloes? Buffs? Interestingly the answer is “yes!” I can speak to dogs from personal repeated experience. Falkor was a border collie mix. She was rescued from Longmont Humane after 6 weeks or so living out in the cold in the winter as a young puppy. As a working dog she was without equal, but that’s for another blog. Today I want to chat about Falkor the Tourist. When we went for a ride with Debi, Falkor, and me, from Boulder to Rocky Mountain National Park, Falkor spent almost the entire drive staring out the window.... Read More

  It’s ironic that the Flatirons were both formed by uplifting, and are in fact uplifting. Symbol of Boulder, The Famous Flatirons. We say it at least once a day. We blog about it, paint it, and it is part of our visual daily existence. But WHAT ARE THEY? What are the Flatirons? The Boulder Flatirons are a series of striking, slanted, red sandstone formations located on the western edge of Boulder, Colorado. Towering over the city and the University of Colorado campus, these iconic landmarks are part of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains and serve as a majestic backdrop that defines... Read More

Boulder Sunrises are frequently spectacular. Not just good, not just colorful, but spectacular. Does that serve a purpose? Absolutely! The physics are simple. It takes energy to get from lying down to sitting up to getting dressed and out the door. Out the door” can mean going to another room to crank up a computer, pound coffee by the pound, chomp cheesecake like a champ, and read the Monday Morning Motivational Missive. Since there is time during the day, after coffee, to read, to learn, to study and to enjoy the colors of sunrise and of the day, what does that leave? How do we motivate... Read More

Stained Glass Sunrise or Stained Glass Horizon Setting? Is There Any Real Difference? Sunrise over the Boulder Valley. OR Horizon-Setting in the Morning? Does the sun rise over Boulder or does the horizon set? Is there any difference? Is Sunday morning a great time to chat about dimensional convenience? What IS dimensional convenience? EASY! We pick our “dimensions” depending upon the problem we are approaching. The answer changes as the question changes. I cannot resist another example. To drive from Boulder to Denver we ignore that the earth is curved; that it is a grapefruit. We... Read More

Once again Boulder Hump Day makes its appearance. “Hump Day,” colloquially known as Wednesday, is a term that has become deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of the workweek, particularly in the context of the traditional Monday through Friday, 9-to-5 schedule. The term evokes a sense of achievement and relief, symbolizing the midpoint of the workweek, after which the “hump” of the week has been overcome and the descent towards the weekend begins. The significance of Hump Day goes beyond its literal placement in the week. It represents a psychological milestone, a beacon... Read More

  I dozed. THEN my Boulder photo instincts or something woke me up in time to look outside. I was greeted by a sunrise light that looked more like a painting by a great artist than like a “normal” sunrise. I suppose that I was looking at a great painting by a great artist; the Universe! The sun rising, the clouds, refraction, moisture in the air, and the rest of what makes colors in the sky played some role I suspect <G> I grabbed the nearest camera, my phone, and the chill in the air vanished as a clicked away. The hardest part was picking a picture or so to share. I am... Read More
