Tree pruning season

On a blue day, it is great to get out an prune the Apricot tree.  Problem branches are easy to see in the Winter. When working overhead, always wear your hard hat, gloves, and protective eyewear.

Pine tree in the wrong place

This Ponderosa Pine which will get 50 feet tall and 40 feet wide was planted in a space 4' x 3' in front of a town house.  It may have been a live Christmas tree yeas ago.  It is doomed by ignorance of a human.

You can see the branches have been trimmed to fit the small space.  They  will have to be trimmed every year.



Central Park Stapleton

A creek runs through it and so do many walking/biking paths.

Look closely for the prairie dog.

Sloan's Lake

A week ago, before the 16" of snow, the lake was completely open.  Moments after taking this photo, the Bald Eagle roosting nearby did a flyby and all these birds took off.  They made a big circle and landed back here.

First Blooms of the year!

Brave little Snow Drops popping up just before the big storm hits.

The warm before the storm

The Koi are liking this not so cold weather.  The algae also.  Squirrels are all over the place.

Ground Hog Day 2012

A nice sunny, breezy day here on the Westside.   No ice or snow left.  A good day to winter water if you haven't been doing it regularly.  The crows are having a field day near Crown Hill Lake.
