Maligned times

            Yet more clean up! This operation is ready to feed a lot of critters but needs to avoid the apparent economic slack for the time being. It looks like the place is long shut down and the sky is on its way in for a pounding at the foothills. I did extra work to extract the sky from this shot. Was this all bought just for show inthe valley? Much has been with pieces scattered everywhere. It's almost like we don't need agriculture to grow food here. 

I ventured out on  another  summer-ISH trek around poked about. This area showed above normal spring rainfall but we are setting continuing records while waiting our first recorder snow fall right now. The broadcasters warn us of nature's impending growth spurts and more impending fuels for forest fires. What? Global warming? Right here with the Kreuger fire above Estes Park's Fish Valley.

As of today, we are over 100% seasonal moisture in just this area. We have all the hotter, dry days ahead! We got a week of spring. I understand, the majority of western states are now in a major water crisis as bad as the southeastern states are in a stupidity crisis.
