65F

25 02 2026

In February.

It was warm. It was beautiful. There are still some damp patches from the melting snow that fell (and stuck briefly) Friday. The mustangs were peaceful throughout Spring Creek Basin (Buckeye above). … It should NOT be 65 degrees in February in Colorado.

Randomly, the moon was nearly straight overhead while I was out with Buckeye’s band, so I took my camera off the monopod and aimed straight up and clicked off several shots, not expecting much. But they turned out super crisply sharp, so I’m including the very first one I snapped. How cool is the moon? Just in case you’re interested in such things, depending on where you are (it’ll be visible across North America), there’s a lunar eclipse coming early in the morning of March 3, as the full worm moon is setting!

Every fuzzy hair on gorgeous Buckeye and every crater on the beautiful moon. Wonderful detailed photos, TJ. And yes. It should not be not be in the 60’s in February. If this doesn’t change, fire will be our constant companion come summer.

Folks on the Front Range already are/have been battling wildfires. 😦 It’s already 64 here today again.
