Denver

Beautiful! (I always think of the movie "The Shining" whenever I hear or see anything with "Denver"
I would love to visit sometime. It's on my to-do-list

It's breakfast time here, but man, does that still look delicious!

Finally a nice day yesterday and with any luck I will have something new ready for tomorrow. Meanwhile, a shot of a small spring which flows into the south side of Upper Kananaskis Lake, AB. From the 2006 slide show.

The price of housing in Utah has gone up ~24% since last March. Here is one of three under construction on our street. It's likely ~4,000 sq. ft., has a large walkout from the basement in back, and will likely sell (or has already sold) for $550,000–600,000. iPhone XR and lightly edited with Luminar Ai plugin for Photos.

The rest of the tale: the spiral in my last shot was actually part of the tail belonging to this fascinating green chap with the golden eye proudly on display in the window of the Rolex shop at the mall. You can see that the glass window also created a lot of reflections, which made shooting him a bit tricky. Happily, my subject was very cooperative and didn't move!

Swallows are around here building their mud nests under highway overpasses, and it's great to see this shot of what they're gathering to do it (and a great shot it is by the way). In a few weeks, here in Denver anyway, they'll have fledged chicks who will be sitting on the ends of reeds around local lakes getting fed by their parents. It's a bit "dive bomb". It's a great and fascinating spectacle.

Ha! Yes, the Stanley Hotel that's just up the road in a small town called Estes Park. Fun place to stay and Denver is fun to visit. It's a "Cow Town" as they say here in the states, but I love it.

Perfectly captured image! It "says it all".

Thanks! It was really tough exposing that shot, with the harsh light. Took quite a bit of shadow recovery! Yes, they are fascinating little birds. They absolutely line the bridges over the Missouri river here. Minimal predator issues, and probably an endless buffet of tasty bugs.

The little rascal is full of mud. Also, it displays quite a touch stance
