Colorado (again!)

Early morning Texas sunrise down by Lake Somerville.
Note moon way up top in its own little cloud window!

Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. We are down here in Texas doing chores around the ranch. Lots of maintenance items needed catching up and some new projects started. It’s been crazy hot here ever since we arrived back in early September….. every day has been 90+ degrees, which makes all of these chore-related activities somewhat difficult, but weight reducing at the same time!

            But we are in for a huge temp change almost overnight! The temps will plummet, and the lows will be in the 30’s and the highs barely getting to 60! We will not be experiencing any Polar Vortex attributions or even Atmospheric River overflows… because we will be in Durango Colorado for about three weeks Critter Sitting while Lorelyn and Travis go on vacation. Hence our dramatic Weather Reversals!

            I am sure that there will be some items worthy of a Post when we get there, in the meantime I have procured a new lens and am experimenting with some astrophotography which should be exquisite out there at 6300 feet of elevation and crystal clear, no ambient light pollution, dark skies. We shall see….. and so will you if the results are satisfactory!

Here are some recent pics with the new lens for your visual enjoyment!

A pair of Mourning Doves posing nicely for me!
Yes, this is with the new lens, 100/400mm Zoom….. handheld, no tripod!
This one used a tripod.

On to Durango!
