Finally, sun
Finally the sun crept over the snowy hill! Eddie tried and tried but I don't think he got it hurried up AT ALL. This is a shot of the Sylvester Doudy house masking the South Boulder Creek, wich cuts across, left, through Eldorado Springs, Doudy was the first settler in the area. Doudy raised cattle and started both a grist mill and also a saw mill. Sly. One way or the other, order the coarse bread! Close your eyes when you eat it, there MAY be extenders! I bet the bathroom is as cold as I am? I better tell Jack it's 50 meters too close. The shadows of the branches are pretty distinct.
Apparently, I kicked Eddieout of the way to get this shot at dawn. The lenticular cloud is showing off a bit here but I had to sacrifice the presence of the moon with the wide angle. If lenticulars, the clouds should stay put. It's easy to see that they didn't travel for building materials. The rocks probably came down from the Flatirons in the distance. Eons of weather would have done that. The field stone found scattered about probably had to be cleared from the site itself before construction. They were largely sandstone of varied colors. That was the stone used to build what is seen here. In fact a couple of the earlier shots show stones cleared back to create pastures for the cattle. If Doudy wanted a house he had to build it himself. There was a lot of make-do masonry here. But here it stands after a century and some decades. I ask you... Was Doudy the first early-day Boulder stoner? He certainly has a lot of modern day disciples in town.
I had been rousted by Eddie because he wanted grand sunrise skies at his usual haunts. Jeeez, he woke me right up so I was too groggy after only a couple hours sleep. I was still too zoned out to find something to throw at him! OK, OK, I'll go because after his recent posts, I think he is bored. The Colorado Railroad Museum trek kept me worked up for over a month of processing. Viewers kept viewings well up but more will wait until another trip. And here's Eddie who's a process all in himself. I was too busy getting ready while he was lifting some jars of my marinara sauce. Can you imagine that Eddie changed his destination plans on the road and ended up at Doudy that was pretty sodden on the last visit. We waited for sunrise as we knew that there would be a payoff this morning, And we waited as the yuppies streamed past to the trails. The morning sun has just stuck the east side of to old homestead. The birds in the cottonwood were quietly waiting for the toasty rays of the sun. I was in a down jacket and just as happy as the birds to welcome the toasty rays. This weekend will burn off the left over snows. There were buds waiting their turn on the branches I found near the trail.
