Steppin' out - a photo on Flickriver

Steppin' out

            A while ago, I slipped down Hover Road to an untested trek along Lefthand Creek on the LoBo (Longmont to Boulder} Trail and parked on a new city street. I started it once before but never got west of Hover Road (here behind me) for the trail route to open onto the trek. Recently, I was curious and tripped down onto the Lefthand river bottoms and snapped this image that sat in my edit directory after others, it seems. The trail actually comes up short of Niwot, let alone Boulder, according to Google Maps. Well, this start is grand. A county planting sits? next to th start of the trail.  

There was no fooling the trees into leafing and then jerking the football away. The last autumn already roasted the river bottom tree colors to their max for the season. This spot comes up short of leaves until spring. Spring is chipping away at us now. What does it portend? The sky returned to normal clouding on the day though. The scene is pretty bare now though. 

I checked it out on Google maps and in reality the trail really peters out by the time it get to the town of Niwot. I checked out the trail on the maps and it looks like there are interests further along this path along Lefthand. The day was already stretching on so I will have to get an earlier start nexr time. Even with so many snaps in my directories, pictures are stall all around the valley when better skies start to come around. Today I am waiting for decent days and skies before even chancing a photo trek. No skies again today - what global warming? Today hit 61 degrees.
