Colorado Springs, CO - Thankfully we have a lot of more snow in the mountains now than we did at this time last year. With winter less than a month away I wonder how much of the fluffy white stuff we are getting this season?
What I do know is, with the mountains so close and covered in snow my Jeep is making plans.
Critique welcome.

Yuba River Falls is a small 20 ft. tall waterfall located on Spring Creek just as it enters into the South Yuba River. The trail to the waterfalls starts at Edwards Crossing and is an easy 1/2 mile hike.

Ran into a caterpillar with an interesting defense system. It became aware of me & instantly tucked its head out of sight. I was left looking at one end with large threatening eyes and the other end with a wicked looking stinger. Both totally fake, of course. Works well with would-be predators.

One of the easiest waterfalls that I've ever been to is located about 10-15 minutes from my house. I can literally park about 25 or 30 feet from where I am standing to take this photo and casually walk right over to the river and falls. Just one of the wonderful hidden gems of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberland Plateau...

Note the moss extending the full height on the left side of the waterfall.
This was one of 14 visits to Spring Falls since early 2004.
Spring Falls also is known as Upper Grindstone Falls and Arnolds Falls (as per vintage postcards).
The Gardens at Spring Creek here in Fort Collins really outdid themselves this year for their annual Garden of Lights display for the holidays. I was particularly impressed by this flower bed display made completely of LED Christmas lights. If you are in the area, be sure to visit! For more information, visit this link.
And from our family to yours, we wish you all the best this holiday season!
Shot Notes: after I cloned out some of the extension cords that make this all possible I felt less guilty about adding the moon for that ultimate Christmas mood. Come on snow! ;-)))

First of my 13 visits to Brown's Falls.
I've heard that running water purifies itself every one hundred feet. I do not know whether this is true but when I compare it to how I try to purify myself in one year intervals it gets me to thinking about the futility of my yearly resolutions. It seems that one hundred feet would be a better distance to travel between my good deeds. I'm thinking of getting one of those pedestrian odometers and giving it a whirl.
Meanwhile, here's wishing all of my friends in Flickrland a very Happy New Year and a wonderful 2013. Whether your resolution is to create, re-create, procreate, meditate, hesitate, desecrate, or salivate I hope that you find yourself being a little bit kinder to one another in the coming year and even more so to those that don't seem to deserve it.
I leave you with this little Cherokee Blessing that I've always loved:
May the warm winds of heaven blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit bless all who enter there.
May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows,
and may the rainbow always touch your shoulder.

A bored looking Cooper Web waiting for the start of 450 Moto-1 at a very muddy AMA Spring Creek Nationals in 2019. Despite the mud and whatever his body language is saying here, Webb won both motos and took first place overall.
When it calmed down & untucked, I was able to get a shot of the real head.

I climbed back up to the trail and took one last look at the falls.
Sorry about the odd framing, but I wanted to avoid the people who were down by the bottom of the falls.

Queen Mary Falls are situated in Australia's Main Range National Park and descend 40 metres from the McPherson Range near the Queensland/New South Wales border. The falls are currently retreating as large blocks at the bottom of the falls were not evident in photos taken in the 19th century.

This is life as I see it--beautiful, dynamic, fluid, full of rocks, and ever changing. I read today from the Dhammapada. I read this:
Better than a thousand meaningless statements
Is one meaningful word,
Which, having been heard,
Brings peace.
A nice recipe for navigating the rocks.
Many thanks to my Flickr contact and new friend Darrell Robinson for showing me this beautiful place.
Very peaceful on black.

I am constantly amazed at how many different species of stink bugs can be found in DFW. I have 12 species so far and there are still many here I have not run across yet.

A good friend, who has since passed away, used to stop at this point to observe sunrise along Spring Creek on his way to work in the morning. He captured many a fantastic photo in this area.
A place to find calm and peace before facing the day.
