Fall in the Ozarks

One of the first signs of Fall showed up in my fountain last week. On good years we have the full range of colors here; red, orange, russet, and yellow. This promises to be a very good year for color.

Roses at the Denver Botanical Gardens

The rose garden was in full bloom when I visited the Gardens. Here are some of my favorites.

Bees at the Denver Botanical Gardens

The bees were very busy the day I visited the Denver Botanical Gardens. I have found it difficult to get good photos of the bees on flowers. Here are some of the few I got. See if you can find the bees. Double click on the photos to get a full screen view.

Mushrooms at Land Between the Lakes

I love to find small things in nature to photograph. On a nature trail near the campground at Land Between the Lakes I found a wealth of mushrooms. Here are some of the pictures.

Tow Car For Sale

I sold my RV and no longer need a tow car. My 2004 Honda Civic LX is for sale for $9,000. Included with the car are a Falcon Non-Binding Tow Bar and a Redi-Brake Axillary braking system for the car. The Civic is in good condition, has 75000 miles and all required maintenance has been done. Car is listed on Craig's List at the Fayetteville, AR location.

Rocky Mountain National Park

I am still in Denver visiting my son. I heard on the news last night that the aspens were changing color up in the high country so I decided to view the change in Rocky Mountain National Park. I found more than the color changing. The elk were out as mating season is about to begin and the ground squirrels are still getting fed along the pull-offs. There is a bore infestation in the pine forest and many of the evergreen trees are dead. You can see all of the dead trees in one of the pictures. It looks like there will be none left alive in a few years.

Denver Botanical Garden

I am visiting my son in Denver and went to the Denver Botanical Garden today. If you are in the area it is worth a visit. Here are some photos from my visit.
