Nearly rehabilitated, this adult Barn Owl was rescued and treated at the Nature and Raptor Center of Pueblo, CO.

Pueblo Depot

Beautifully restored historic train station, the Pueblo Depot dates back 125 years.

Royal Gorge bridge on a snowy afternoon

Just a few hardy tourists crossing the Royal Gorge bridge during a late-January snowstorm. This would be the last measurable snow to fall along Colorado's Front Range through mid-March.

Trail along the Arkansas River

From our hike up the Front Range Trail below the Pueblo Reservoir in late January. An unusually snow-free mid-winter in Colorado.

End of the Road at RMNP

In Rocky Mountain National Park, looking north from near where Trail Ridge Road is closed for the winter.

The view from Wondervu

Snow on Saturday, sunny on Sunday. Looking west from Wondervu on Coal Creek Canyon Rd. as the road drops into Gilpin County, CO.

Winter sun on Bakken rig

Mid-afternoon on a cold December day at a drilling site in Ft. Berthold, ND. From when this photo was taken in 2011 to today, oil production on the Ft. Berthold reservation has increased five-fold.

Speedster at Red Rocks

This handsome, early 1950s Porsche 356 Speedster was spotted near the Red Rocks amphitheater in Morrison on a warm July evening.

Just passing through

While trotting through the neighborhood today, this guy took a wrong turn into the neighbor's driveway and stopped to get his bearings. The coyote (canis latrans) can be found in all parts of North America, even apparently, New York City.

Look inside antique service station

A tour of the Vehicle Vault in Parker, CO, includes this wonderful collection of antique oil cans, equipment and signage.

Morning view of Mt. Evans

An hour after sunrise on a chilly winter morning.

Sloans Lake Vista

This view of Foothills and Mt. Evans greet Gordy and I on our morning walk. Chilly, clear day on tap.

Gordy leads the way

Gordy blazes the trail for Robert, who was visiting for the weekend. A vigorous hike on another perfect autumn afternoon at South Valley Park in Ken Caryl.

South Valley Park at Ken Caryl

Late summer hike through South Valley Park on one of the last warm days of the season.

Dakota sandstone outcroppings are from the same geologic formation as those at nearby Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Collbran vista

Vista looking north from Collbran, CO.
Warm summer afternoon enjoying a snack and the wonderful view.

Sunset clouds reflected in Sloans Lake

A walk around Sloans Lake provided this view of downtown Denver at sunset.

Gordy at apple blossom time

During a tour of the backyard apple grove, Gordy stops to provide his take on global politics.

Look Sharp in a Caddy

Another from my visit to the Fourney Museum in Denver in February. 

This beautiful 1960 Cadillac Eldorado featured the following as standard equipment: power brakes, power steering, automatic transmission, dual back-up lamps, windshield wipers, two-speed wipers, wheel discs, outside rearview mirror, vanity mirror, oil filter, power windows, six-way power seats, heater, fog lamps, Eldorado engine, remote control trunk lock, radio with antenna and rear speaker, power vent windows, air suspension, electric door locks, license frames, and five whitewall tires. Technical highlights were finned rear drums and an X-frame construction.

See the model year listing for this car on Wikipedia.

1936 Cord Model 810

One of many rare and beautiful cars from the pre-WWII collection in the Fourney Museum of Transportation, in Denver. On display are a nice selection of Honda motorcycles from the 1960s and 1970s, several Volkswagen "bugs" and Karmen Ghia models and, among the train collection, the "Big Boy" locomotive, one of the largest railroad engines ever built.
