Better and better …

Blossoming wave cloud over Summit County.

FRISCO — The lack of snow is still a bit disconcerting, but Mother Nature has been making up for it with some stellar sunrises and sunsets. Monday was the first time in quite a while that there wasn’t a wave cloud in the morning or evening, which gave me a little time to go back and sort shots from the last few days.

Even though the autumn leaves have fallen, the early storms rolling through have helped spark some brilliant morning and evening light, and, as a bonus, a few cool and unusual (for here) migrating birds have visited Dillon Reservoir. Here are a few scenes from the last few days. If you like what you see, visit our online Imagekind gallery, where you can buy prints and notecards. It’s a great way to support independent online journalism in Colorado. (more…)
