September 2025 in pictures

someone started a little fairy garden in the park near the house

sunflowers coming up outside the back yard fence!

the sunflowers are fading -- been filling up the large yard waste bin each week now with the ones that were completely spent

first yellow cottonwood leaf along our walk!







I always call Remi my detective because any time Orian pees on something, it then takes Remi investigating every.single.blade.of.grass at length before deciding which one needs peeing on. 

So, I present my little Sherlock Holmes!








new toys!


first ever crawfish seen along the pond!

the morning Steph was due in (separate post for her visit!) I shot this from the park before going to get her at the airport. 

Compared to our pre-dawn morning the same week in Rocky Mountain National Park








I get obsessed over the Ash trees starting in late September, watching them start to purple up




this fall's mums at the front door





and the last day of the month, imagine my surprise to find a bloom on the ice plant I didn't think survived the winter!

August 2025



This sighting was pretty exciting since it was from my backyard!

















Now & Then






Since Marci came up my way in July, I went to hers in August, but we combined it with a stop in between at Boulder for her youngest, McKenzie's bridal shower
