BNSF 8999 slowly leads a southbound coal train down the grade out of Palmer Lake, CO the morning after a snow storm hit the area with about 6" of the white stuff.
Boy, it doesn't get much better along the Joint Line than sunny skies with fresh snow, the Rampart Range, and a new ACe leading the way! I've never had much luck getting winter shots in Colorado, but this one makes up for it!

The Eastern sky was filled with storm clouds this morning. Snow is on the way!
While some parts of the world are experiencing record high temperatures (which sadly is all to common), winter has still not completely given way to spring in the high country of the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies.
I had the opportunity to visit one of my regular sunset/ sunrise locations from my pre-retirement days this week- Red Rock Lake, which has one of the best views of a prime selection of summits in the Indian Peaks (l to r): Kiowa, Arikaree, Navajo, Apache, and Shoshoni Peaks.
The moose who galloped past us. Shyla warned me with a very wide-eyed look as the moose barreled behind me, due to a group of dogs who appeared with their human right after the moose went by.

One reason why I love the high mountains is that it puts life into perspective. All of us who are alive now are just specks in the perspective of the time it took for these mountains to be sculpted and in terms of how small we are compared to the Earth.

I love seeing the stars but I rarely go out into the cold to see them when we're home. This evening was warm so I set up my tripod to capture our chimney, trees, and the North Star! I was pleasantly surprised by how it turned out.
ISO 100, focal length 24mm, f/1.4, and 22 exposures of 320 seconds each (118 minutes total). Exposures were stacked using StarStax.

DDC "Water"
We arrived home to discover that we'd had a huge snowstorm (and that is the Front Range's source of WATER). Thank goodness for good friends who plowed our driveway for us. Shyla smiled as she galloped through the snow!
DDC "Tall Tales" - This photo tricks you into thinking that my dog is standing at a big drop-off. In fact, she's about 4' off the ground. That's kind of a "tall tale"!
This "big boned" least chipmunk, I affectionately nicknamed Eric Cartman, was still out in the snow begging for a handout while all his relatives were snuggled in for the winter.
From what I've read, the least chipmunk does not hibernate, or put on excess fat in the fall. Instead, they survive the winter by entering torpor for long stretches of time, waking to eat food cached in the burrow.

DDC "There's no place like..." our mountains. You can see our world reflected in Shyla's Eye (and you can see me!).
Between Broomfield and Boulder, I traveled the backroads to be able to stop and admire the view!

We got about 4' of snow, and Shyla kept disappearing under it during our snowshoe hike. I wondered if she was using swimming motions!
Scenic view of the snow dusted Colorado Rocky Mountains front range continental divide with colorful waves of clouds and beams of light at sunset. View from east Boulder County Colorado. We call this the magic hour and this one did not disappoint. Hope you enjoy. Part 2 of a two part series.

The temperature was a bone-chilling 3° (I was even wearing a couple layers too) as a trio of EMD's lead the H-DENPVO1-14A by Windy Gap.
The first two units, BNSF 8510 & 8503, are two of only 20 SD70ACe-P4's on BNSF's roster.

Cape Tormentine is the eastern most point in New Brunswick.
The lighthouse is atthe end of the former Cape Tormentine ferry wharf, both were made obsolete by the opening of the Confederation Bridge in 1997. At the request of local fishermen, who still use the harbour, the front light was reactivated in 1998. The present front light was put in place in the 1940s. The light is 11 meters (33ft) high with an unusual pepperpot shape. The light was in a bad state of disrepair in 2021 and requires major work to be done.
