Golden Pond

Taken at Crown Hill Park in Lakewood, Colorado. This my usual dog-walking park and more recently my coyote-photography park. it’s a pretty unassuming little place, but when the light is just right it can be spectacular.

    It’s a pretty unassuming little park, but when the clouds and sun are right, it’s an amazing place to be. I’ve also spotted fox and coyotes there, and I could swear there was bear scat.

    Well, Boulder’s not a bad place, per se, but it can be a little limiting. Not that I don’t like the Flat Irons . . .

    Sublime. You captured it at just the right moment. Love what seem to me to be lenticular clouds to the far right, too.
