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.
I’ve been meaning to take my camera when I walk the dogs in the morning, and finally remembered to grab it on my way out. I was rewarded by seeing this rainbow to the west. I’ve seen many afternoon rainbows in Colorado, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen one in the morning.
Renaissance Festival.
Volunteer holds hawk at the Colorado Renaissance Festival. This hawk could not be rehabilitated and released due to a vision problem which prevents her from hunting.
We got quite a bit of rain overnight which was quite welcome, especially since it didn’t cause major flooding on the burn scars.
My friend’s lilies are rather spectacular this year. (Taken with iPad).
Day two of the Black Forest Fire I went to my friend’s to help evacuate chickens and also pick up some hay for her horses we were keeping at our place. This was the view from her back yard. Her place was about a mile due south of the start of the fire, and we were obviously concerned what might happen if the wind shifted to the north.
