Ruby Falls (1)

Ruby Falls is in a cave near the Tennessee/Georgia border, near Rock City about which I've already posted. It's your basic tourist trap, but definitely worth seeing.

For this post I'm showing you the well-lit trail through the cave; there's more to come.

Our World Tuesday

Uncle Sam!

I don't remember the details behind this photo, but I took it in 1990 when I lived in the Washington DC area. I discovered it when going through some old scans. It wasn't in good shape but I cleaned it up the best I could.

Peak Moods (11) - Refreshing

This photo was taken for Skywatch Friday yesterday morning from my front porch. I loved seeing all the new overnight snow on this 14,115-foot (4,302 meter) high mountain. Notice the very clear snowline just below treeline.

Palmer Reservoirs

Palmer Reservoirs is one of my most frequent hikes because it's nearby...

...but still has some nice views.

These photos are actually from last summer, but I'm sure I'll have more in the next few weeks.

Zoo View (2)

For Skywatch Friday, here's another view from the wonderful Cheyenne Mountain Zoo here in Colorado Springs.

Winter Blast

We had a warm, sunny winter. But spring has seen snow, the most recent on Friday night and Saturday, when about 8 inches (20 cm) fell in our neighborhood.

It's been cold too, with temperatures falling to 23 °F (-5 °C) Saturday night. But it does make for some pretty scenes.

It's already mostly melted and hopefully winter won't make another return, although snow in May isn't unusual at our elevation of 7,100 feet (2,164 meters) above sea level. And that's a cold entry for Our World Tuesday.
