A few fun wildflowers in a spectrum of colors from today’s hike: spiderwort, miner’s candle, thistle, and blanket flower. 🌻🌸🪻🌺

#hiking #wildflowers #bloomscrolling #Colorado

Tall, twin spikes of miner’s candle, with tiny, white, five-petaled flowers up the length of the entire spike, with the flowers nestled in long, thin, bristly green leaves. They do kinda look like tall candles. Rocky soil and other greenery in the background.
A cluster of magenta colored thistle flowers in various stages of bloom atop their individual thin, bristly stems. Invasive, but still pretty and attractive to pollinators. A sunny, grassy hillside and a few pine trees blurred in the background.
A pair of almost identical blanket flowers, just past peak bloom. Their orangish-yellow petals are drooping and almost look like a skirt or kilt hanging down from the spherical, orangish-red center of each flower. Green grasses in the background.

A little stroll through the woods above the city this morning — full of interesting flora and fauna. 🌾🦌🌞

Hello, kitty! A young male mule deer with small antlers stands on a rocky and grass-covered hillside peering down at me.
Brown, wooden hiking trail post with green signs points to “Anemone Loop” and “Anemone Point,” with tall pine trees and grasses on a hillside behind the trail sign. The sky is a deep, clear blue this sunny morning.
At the top of Anemone Hill, a scenic view to the west that includes the still snow-covered, tall peaks of the Rocky Mountains as well as the rolling foothills covered in pine trees, grasses, shrubs, wildflowers, and fallen logs and trees from a wildfire about a decade ago.

The garden is slowly bouncing back from last week’s hailstorm, and flowers are starting to rebloom. Here are a few larkspur this evening in dark blurple, white, and pink.

Fungi and flora along the trail today. 🍄🌼

#hiking #wildflowers #fungi #Colorado

A cluster of four blanket flowers growing together, one of the flowers starting to bloom with its reddish-orange flower petals emerging, and the other three still in the bud stage. Behind them, a nicely weathered log sits on the ground among scattered pine needles.
A nice cluster of three yucca plants, all with their tall, blooming stems of flowers in the centers of their thin spikes. The unopened flowers have a range of colors from whitish to pinkish hues. Other forest plants and trees are blurred in the background.
A showy goldeneye flower with its bright yellow petals, dark center, and fuzzy, dark green leaves stands out among the scattered pine needles on the ground below. A couple of fuzzy, green, unopened buds are on the stem below the blooming flower.

Enjoying the last day of spring. 🌸

An old, vertical, four-sided, stone street marker stands at the edge of a small flower park. The left side of the marker spells out “Goldenrod” from top to bottom in black letters, and the right side spells out “Primrose.” The marker is sitting in a bed of purple flowers with green leaves. There are trees, a little park, and mountains blurred in the background.
An old sign attached to the side of the historic Chautauqua Auditorium. In faded white letters on a red background, the sign says, “Chautauqua” (top), “Entertainment Every Night” (middle), and “June 9 to Sept 1, 7:30 PM & 8 PM” (bottom).

I'm probably biased, but there's probably no other mountain range that's as stunning and balanced as the San Juan range in #Colorado as seen from the Log Hill mesa looking south. #SanJuan

Heavy traffic and swift-moving water on the creek path today. Watch out for honkers! 🪿🚴🏽‍♂️

#biking #creek #geese #Colorado

Obstruction on the trail: Two adult and two baby geese meander across the concrete bike path just in front of an underpass. Grass and trees line each side of the path and around the underpass.
Creekside view of water flowing swiftly downstream across rocks and boulders. Many green trees lining each side of the creek.
Another bridge view of the stream below, but with a long exposure so that the water appears blurred as it flows downstream and under the bridge. Trees and tree branches overhang the creek.

Out of state co-worker: "I'm coming to Colorado in late June for a Bachelor party and we're all going to hike up a 14er!"

Me: "Heh! Got snowshoes?"

OOSC: "But it's summer!"

Me: "Not at 14k it's not!"

Yay — the sun reappeared! 🚴🏽‍♂️🌞
It’s sooo green. 💚

#biking #Colorado #openspace

My bike is park against a wooden post fence along the open space trail. There are green grasses growing tall off the trail, cottonwood trees in the middle distance, and peeking above the trees are the foothills in the far distance. Sunshine, blue skies, and some puffy clouds above the hills.

I listen to these every week, so I thought I’d share. It’s a really great show if you want an analytical and journalistic look into the team.

Does anyone in Denver/Boulder know of a reasonably affordable, small business colo? I have two 2U rack mounts that I want out of my closet but I want to support a local business. I’ve been googling a bunch but talking on the phone is hard 🥲(excuse the tags while I search for connections lol) #denver #boulder #colorado #homelab #colo #hosting #datacenter #smallbusiness #localbusiness

No hiking today because of the rain, but here are a few leftover wildflowers and a bonus fungus from earlier this week. 🥾🌸🍄

#hiking #Colorado #wildflowers #fungi #bloomscrolling

Unknown shrub on a hillside with tiny white flowers growing in clusters around green, almost tri-lobed leaves with sawtooth edges. Some of the flowers are fully open and some are still just buds.
Close up of tiny, white yarrow flower clusters atop tall, thin, green stems. Blurred in the background are a scattering of multiple wildflowers, the trunk and some lower branches of a pine tree, green hillsides, and rocky mountains in the far distance.
Looking down from above at a fully open blanket flower with its myriad yellow petals arrayed in a circle around its orangish-red center. Blurred in the background behind and below the flower, some other wildflower greenery and pine needles scattered on the ground, as well as a couple of small rocks.

Any of my #Denver #Colorado federationists enjoying the rain today?

SunnJax, 11 months ago to hiking

It’s fun searching for wildflowers up in the hills, but it’s also nice to take a final picture while hiking back down to the trailhead. So much green this year! 🥾💚

Replacing July 4 fireworks with a drone swarm, i.e. reducing wildfire risk through slightly questionable technology, is the most #colorado thing ever.

"The dispute is an early glimpse of the type of fights the U.S. will face as the warming #climate supercharges drought, wildfires, storms and floods, forcing wrenching choices over which communities get protected.

#California's proposal would almost entirely cut off #Colorado River deliveries to Phoenix, Tucson and the 11 Native American tribes getting #water from central #Arizona’s primary canal before California’s agricultural users would face any mandatory cuts."
