The wall lights are on, now we just wait for the bugs to show up for dinner.

Major breaking here at Newspaper Rock in southeastern Utah.
A southeastern Utah sandstone cliff face at ground level. The sandstone has a warm reddish orange color that has a heavy almost black natural desert varnish. Ancient people from the region used it to carve ancient symbols or petroglyphs.

I’m going through older pictures and thought I would share this one of autumn colors of southwestern Colorado.
Autumnal scene of thick aspen forest. Yellow and green blend and dominant. The sun is from behind the trees and makes every yellow leaf glow. Fallen yellow leaves litter the forest floor.

A once ugly building in Pagosa Springs. All four sides are painted by the artist with different scenes but this side is my favorite!🤩

The view as I made one of my many trips over Red Mountain pass in #Colorado
A colorful autumn picture from the mountains in Colorado. The peaks are orange from the iron bearing minerals. There are yellow aspen leaves mixed with the dark greens of the spruce and fir trees . Old mining muck piles are visible, adding light tans. A cloudy sky with dark blue in places.

Yard to belly!🍄‍🟫❤️🌎 #mushroom #Colorado #гриб
Picture of my open hand holding two almost mature but very small shaggy manes (Coprinus comatus) that popped up in the yard right before the first frost’s of the year. A great addition to scrambled eggs. All in all it was a terrible mushroom season in southwestern Colorado.

#mural #southwest #Colorado America the beautiful. America the diverse.🙏🌹🌹⚖️
A beautiful mural of La Virgen de Guadalupe on the side of an earth colored stucco building. There is a nice river rock wainscoting below the mural.Red roses look as if they grow from behind the wainscoting giving the whole scene the effect of being behind a rock wall.

I’ve been happy with my chile harvest this year. It’s been unseasonably hot and dry around here all summer but I was able to keep my pepper plants alive!
A colorful bunch of peppers and a purple and yellow speckled tomato. I don’t know offhand what the tomato is but the split chile is a Hungarian Hot Wax that I am snacking on the longer chiles are from Hatch varieties and the smaller ones are stunted Española variety.

Black and white photo inside The Bishop Castle just outside Rye,Colorado. A home built set of spiral metal steps. The wood flooring was milled on site. The walls are stacked rock and mortar. The place was entirely built by one man 🏰🤯 Jim Bishop 👑 1944-2024

Oh yeah, she’ll get all up in your business!🤣🤣
A close up of one of my young hens. Close enough that you can actually see her chicken lips. She is black and white and it looks like she just had a drink of water because her face feathers are pretty wet and wild.

What is it girl? What do you see?
My stoic dog sitting next to a window. Her ears are pointing forward and she looks like she’s focusing on something outside, but is not very excited about what she’s looking at. Alert yet in a relaxed manner.

A busy life they lead. A little eye contact, then it’s off to the races.
A hummingbird with a beautiful orange neck sitting on a bird feeder and looking at the camera. I believe it is a Rufous hummingbird.

I’ve been blessed! Blue Oysters are flourishing! #fungifriends #mushrooms #гриби
A fairly close up picture of a cluster of Blue Oyster Mushrooms fruiting from a hole drilled into a 5 gallon bucket filled with straw and mushroom sawdust spawn. The straw under the bucket is starting to regrow and the grass is a nice spring shade of green. This is my first year growing Blue Oysters (Pleurotus ostreatus var. columbinus)but I also have and still grow Winecaps (Stropharia rugosoannulata).

Velocity Basin, near Silverton Colorado . Across the water shot from water surface. The water is very clear and the tan colored rocks are visible through the water. The mountain in the background is green and healthy looking. A patch of leftover snow in the background.

A close up of a mushroom on a wet and rotting log. The sky and forest trees are reflected on the wet cap of the mushroom. There’s a very tiny mushroom next to the one in focus. There are some other small fungus species above the main subject.

Here’s one of my favorites from a few years back! It’s the Forman’s office overlooking processing area at the Mayflower Mill in Silverton, Colorado.
A dramatic black and white photograph of an outside corner of a building inside an old mill used to process gold and other metals from nearby mines. A pretty mess really.

I always preferred this one upside down #sunset
A picture upside down of evening summer storm clouds overtaking the last of the blue skies as the sun goes down. A very richly colored sunset.
