These wildflowers that I found in Black Forest Regional Park were about the size of a nickle.

Front Range

I took Lody for a walk to the small valley yesterday evening, and took this photo of the Front Range.
Tranquil Evening

We woke up yesterday to near blizzard conditions, but it was tranquil and still by the time I took this photo of the hills to the west of us in the evening. I tend to determine the strength of storms by how many of our neighbors’ houses we can see from our windows, and yesterday was occasionally a “no house” storm. Once, it was almost a “no barn” storm, when I couldn’t see our horse barn. As I fed the horses in the morning, I wished I could tell them it was supposed to be a fast moving storm. They didn’t seem too peeved, so maybe they knew it.
It is hard to tell how much snow we received because of the drifting: probably about six inches.
Carved Crow

I carved this crow image based on the photo I took a few weeks ago. I used The Gimp to turn the photo into an image I could carve. I’ve always wanted a turn-photo-into-soft-block-carving filter, and the new photocopy filter provided with Gimp 2.2 comes close.

PD Photo – Public Domain Photos
I found this great photo resource, PD Photo – Public Domain Photos, via Aisling’s Creative Adventures. The photographer, Jon Sullivan, provides high resolution versions of his photos, which increases the ways you can use them. I am using his photo of the Zion Narrows as a desktop background.

One of a storytelling of crows that I saw yesterday on my walk.
