Space Craft from COSine

Jack bought home the Flash Gordon space ship from COSine a few years ago, and I decided to bring home the matching saucer this year.

Mugging

I was trying to get a photo of Lightning and Lily and …

Warm Spot

Orion has discovered that the drape catches the warm air from the heat register.

Tree House

This tree house overlooks Cottonwood Creek Park. There are quite a few residences that back up to the park, and most of them have gates from the back yards to the Park path.

Pikes Peak from Cottonwood Creek Park

I had a little time before an early morning appointment yesterday and was near Cottonwood Creek Park. I took this from the best vantage point accessible without risking steep icy paths. (It would have been so embarrassing being featured in the newspaper as “Stupid Woman Rescued from Cottonwood Creek While Taking Photographs.”) It is very odd to see Pikes Peak so bare in January. Trivia: Pikes Peak was originally Pike’s Peak, but the apostrophe was removed because Official Names can’t have apostrophes.
