I discovered these mushrooms behind the barn when I fed this morning. The mushroom to the right is ten to eleven inches across. This is the biggest mushroom I have ever seen in person.

Stormy Mountains – YouTube
Stormy House – YouTube. We got two to three inches here overnight, but nothing like what some areas are getting. The video from our driveway is taken in the direction of Waldo Canyon / Williams Canyon, which is getting hit with a second round right now.

View from the Ranch
I
I took this from with a friend’s iPod from the ranch where we used to trail ride. Pikes Peak can be seen a little to the right of the dead tree by the dry pond.
Farewell to August
Orange Shoes
A few weekends ago I was at a local park which is popular for outdoor weddings. The male attendants all wore orange sneakers. The female attendants wore orange heels (with gray dresses.) A few of the women looked a little worried going down a sandy hill in three inch heels and clung to their escorts with all their might.
Maybe We Did Get Four Inches
We use this barn cart as a rain gauge. Although adjacent areas were officially reporting close to four inches from the series of storms yesterday, I didn’t think we had received that much. However, this is the most I have ever seen in our yard card after a storm.
We also have a significant amount of debris on the road near our house:
Day Lily
Colorado Renaissance Festival
And yes, the sky really is that blue.
Hillsides
I took this photo several mornings ago while I was walking the dogs. To the right, you can see the burn scars left by the Beaver Creek Fire two years ago. I suppose the fire didn’t get hot enough to sterilize the ground since it has obviously grown nicely green since then. It was still fairly early in the morning so one can see the shadow on the hills of a hill to the east.
