I posted a pic earlier of this birdhouse showing the folks on the left of the duplex, here's the right side singing a song.

Originally I drove down here for a shot I have in mind and have had for weeks now. I set up, Camera on the tripod, framed up, shutter release dangling and sat...and sat, and sat..

Which isn't easy for me , I'm very hyper and sitting still is worse than being tied up and tickled. So after an hour and a half of pacing and self talk I broke it all down and was leaving and I saw all of these millipedes on the ground.. every where..

They were on the rocks and uprights above me too. By this time the sun was just coming over the mountains, up river and through the trestle. It worked out well to catch these two neighbors on their way out to cause a bit of mayhem...

The Bokeh is sunlight coming through the lower part of the trestle..

We've been told by many of the locals that prior to the flood of 2013 which ravaged most of western Boulder County and parts of Larimer County that it was very rare to see moose on the eastern side of RMNP. Apparently the flood changed their course, and they are now quite plentiful. This pretty lady is one of our frequent visitors; she had twin yearlings when we first saw her in 2017, and she just had a new pair of twins this past spring.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a joyful day my friends.

This is Ishmael and Candy, my most favorite neighbors. Always happy and always smiling!

"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God."

Our neighbor's cat Daisy paid us a visit. (Shhh, don't tell Duncan). Isn't she beautiful?

Nesting cliff swallows

My new neighbors set up a pasture for their Shetland pony.

Two neighbors chatting (North Beach, San Francisco)

These Pied Avocets are nesting at the same area next to each other. We watched that place for a while, and it seems this is their normal way of communication - at least for these two!

It is amazing to see these normally solitary birds congregating and almost tolerating each other.

We have lots of fruit trees ourselves, but they are still little and not as big and beautiful as the neighbor's tree right by them.
