#EastTroublesomeFire was blowing up this afternoon #EastTroublesomeFire was blowing up this afternoon. We need some significant, prolonged, snow or rain - this one little storm forecasted this weekend won't cut it. As the #CameronPeakFire has shown us, these fires just come back to life as soon as it dries up the day after the storm passes. Scary and sad times. Time to vote the people that don't believe in climate change out of office! #coloRADo
Fiona is so fluffy in her winter coat! The animals Fiona is so fluffy in her winter coat! The animals are ready for winter now....and with our state on fire, most us us have never been more eager and ready for snow.

I miss friends, I miss the desert, I miss backpack I miss friends, I miss the desert, I miss backpacking, I miss hugs. I was supposed to be lost in some magic canyons right now with my beloved desert pal @tetrisjones, but alas...2020 strikes. No desert. No canyons. No pals. So here’s a #tbt to pals, and endless red sand in everything, and stressing searching for good water, and legs scratched to hell, and getting a little lost, and type 1.5 fun that one day we’ll find again. 🧡

OMGOMGOMG FINALLY. Though I have had fleeting glim OMGOMGOMG FINALLY. Though I have had fleeting glimpses of bobcats, I’ve been dying for an encounter where I could photograph one. This morning I was so excited to find one at our house. I think she was likely heading to the heated water bowl I leave out for the critters - which in a bone dry fall like we’ve had is appreciated by many animals. SO COOL, and im overflowing with gratitude for the moment with such a beauty. Hopefully she hangs around. #bobcat
