Looking across a fog-covered pond at some trees with fall colors on the opposite side.

Glad I had some other lenses with me the other day when I went out to shoot some birds but came across some foggy scenes instead.

A wood ducks swims through a lake, the trees with yellow and orange leaves reflected in the water.

Got back up to check on the wood ducks this weekend...

The USAF Thunderbirds diamond banks to the right as all 4 jets perform the diamond 360 maneuver.

Glad we were able to see the USAF Thunderbirds when we did since all of the demonstration team's performances have been cancelled due to the government shutdown.

I’m ready to start counting down the days until they return next spring 😅

A pelican swims across a pond in the early morning after sunrise, the blue sky and clouds reflected in the water.

Found a few pelicans down at the ponds this morning. There's not a lot of activity down there now that most of the spring and summer birds have left.

Yellow aspen trees in front of pine trees.

Trying to get some fall landscapes has been a challenge this year. The peak has passed in the nearby mountains but hasn't quite arrived down here on the front range.

Looking out across a pond at the rising sun. There's a dead tree that extends out from the shore and the colorful sky is reflected in the water.

Morning reflections...

Looking out over a pond as the sun rises, casting a warm, pink light on the clouds in the sky.

One of my favorite local spots once we get into fall. It's such a nice and peaceful area to see the sunrise, and even better when there's a few clouds in the sky.

I can't imagine they have any positive metrics to show here. Just thought I might bring attention to the fact that I'm much less likely to spend additional real money in the game because of the unstable cores cost.

The unstable core upgrade cost is killing my desire to play this game, in addition to all of my friends quitting for their own reasons.

I can't be the only one that is being driven off by this, so I urge you to rethink this currency.

I am also much less likely to purchase any exotic ornaments, no matter how cool it is, because of the upgrade costs. If the item is not in my current build, I'm not going to buy an ornament for an exotic I can't even use to play activities.

@destiny2team.bungie.net With the steep cost of upgrading gear to my current power level, I feel limited in what I can use. Instead I just make one or two builds and stick with that. All the other gear is still level 10. I miss being able to easily swap around gear and try different builds.

A gull flies over a pond, the early morning sun lighting the sky and the bird with a warm glow.

I love seeing birds in the early morning sun, but the birds around here lately have been few since many of them have migrated.

Grasses at the edge of a pond in the early morning. The water reflects clouds that are colored pink by the rising sun.

Up and out before the sunrise this morning. It's been a while since I've been out this early but it was nice to get some photos in this morning.

The six jets of the USAF Thunderbirds fly in a delta formation, inverted against a cloudy sky as they perform the delta roll maneuver.

A white stunt airplane with red stars on its wings flies across the sky, trailing smoke, as it performs an aerobatic maneuver.

The USAF Thunderbirds fly by in the diamond formation, with only 18 inches of separation between the aircraft.

A jet-powered glider, with smoke trailing from its wingtips, flies inverted as it reaches the top of a loop maneuver.

One of my favorite performances I saw this past weekend was a jet powered glider...

My dad loved gliders and got me interested in airplanes when I was a kid. He would've loved seeing this...

Two fighter jets from the Air Force Thunderbirds make a mirror image of each other as one flies inverted next to the other.

The number 5 (lead solo) jet of the Thunderbirds spends enough time upside down that they printed the number so it would be right side up.

A stunt airplane, painted red with stars on its wings, dives down towards the ground, trailing smoke in the clear blue sky.

One of my favorite shots from the airshow this past weekend, of one of the Yak-50s of the Red Thunder demo team.

Two F-16 fighter jets of the United States Air Force Thunderbirds pass close by each other in an opposing knife edge maneuver.

Taking a break from posting the usual bird and nature photos to instead post some of the photos I took at the #greatcoloradoairshow this past weekend...

A crab spider sits on a flower, its body the same color as the petals to help it blend in as it hunts for insects.

Came across this little crab spider in the garden the other day that had matched the white and pink colors of the flower petals...

A cormorant is perched on a tree stump in the middle of a pond, its wings spread, soaking in the morning sun to dry off its feathers after diving in the water earlier.

Bird action in the area has been pretty quiet as the summer birds have moved on and the fall birds have yet to arrive. Found this cormorant at one of the local ponds this morning.

A snowy egret stands on the end of a dead tree limb overlooking a pond in the early morning

When using a telephoto lens, moving just a bit to the right or left and a small change in sun position can really change a photo.

A hummingbird hovers in the air next to some red flowers.

Still seeing a few hummingbirds in the area...

A snowy egret splashes in the water, as it leaps over to catch a fish

I'm not sure I realized how many snowy egrets are around here...

A great blue heron stands on a dead tree limb sticking out of the water of a pond. The water is still enough that the bird and tree limb are reflected almost like a mirror.

An osprey, it's wings spread wide, soars in the morning sky.

Still a few male osprey in the area that haven't begin the migration south yet...

Can't think of anything I've done that was unusual.

Being able to get close enough for the photo but not scaring it away 😅
