Extracting December - a photo on Flickriver

            Way back.  Late last fall, I thought I'd head west from Flanders Park north of McIntosh Lake. I headed toward the Agricultural Museum, off to the right in the distance of this shot but it's closed in the middle of the week, and winter. Is this December? These folks are not wandering out to look at sculpted shore ice like me but to finish off that extra  clear weather day while it held and it was still time for exercise. 

I popped over onto the low water shore where alkali deposits color the soil. I've put so much work into my other projects, I lost track of months, but then you are looking at December, a lot like January here. This scene looks pretty normal for MAC Lke. Autumn hit in a couple days after a freeze and winter awaits. 

I had to ready my vehicle for the car air test to pass, tail pipe & tuneup for a couple of years. Bezos rocket passed without a check for spewing fossils into the atmosphere. Maybe if I had his money, No pay offs here. I got my ballot in the mails, filled in and delivered it to the pick up box where it was retrieved and counted like always. All without a lick of help from Texas, their absolutely incompetant  governor and their multiple black holes to swallow people (women of the same DNA, immigrants) and non right-wing voters. 

This is always a good spot for a walk and January was much the same as December, as was early February. 

Mount Meeker, named after the old Longmont dog legged thumper, somewhat hides Long Peak itself in Rocky Mountain National Park and the Indian Peaks Divide, the stretch  to the south.
