pics Lenny Lensworth Frieling pic Lenny Lensworth Frieling pic Lenny Lensworth Frieling Sunsets in Boulder get all of the credit. But is that rational, fair, and a good visual decision? Photographers, painters, very fast weavers, and artists of all flavors have long known that the “golden hour,” the time of sunset and sunrise, produces a […]
The sun rises over Eastern Boulder County at the Erie Balloon Festival. I arrived at 5:15 AM to make sure I did not miss part of the show! The rising sun lights the clouds where the hot air balloons are welcomed! Here we are at the third picture and so far not even one balloon! […]
Each morning in Boulder the sun rises. We know what time that will happen. We know what time dawn (before sunrise) will happen. We can expect the sun to rise at specific precise times. But does it really “rise?” Of course not! If it did, this blog would be finished already. Have I totally lost […]
Boulder Sunrise, like the Flatirons and the Foothills, never looks the same. Every time I look at the mountains, every time for over 49 years, they look different.

Why is there a Boulder flower picture above a sunrise? Because I’m writing this blog, and I can <G> <Grin>. I think that sunrise has a distinct positive mental health impact. It relieves depression I suspect. Speaking of depression, I was counseling a client by phone. His Doc and his peeps wanted him to […]
Pic Lenny Lensworth Frieling My Boulder-Bizarre sleeping habit are suited to a 4:30 AM blog. It is also suited, currently, for meteor viewing before dawn as well as being up for sunrises. The view of the sun lighting the Front Range and turning it red is truly heartwarming. Was Polonius right, when in Hamlet, giving […]
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 […]
