Just a few neat picture from the past few weeks. The first was taken from highway 550 between the towns of Silverton and Ouray. It shows the full moon nearly centered in a notch in the mountains that has a waterfall coming out of it. If I'd only managed to get there 30 seconds earlier, and a little to the side it would have looked like the moon was the source of the waterfall. Pretty neat.
The second was the sky at sunset as a thunderstorm was approaching.
A long horned beetle, and I mean LONG HORNED!
An orb weaver spider, one of several that we have living around us. They retreat to a corner during the day, but will jump out onto the web if a fly lands in it. This one lives right outside the door of our yurt. She is about an inch long, and seems to like to hang out in the center of her web at night, the better to feel which strand an insect has flown into, I think.
