Day Trip to Boulder - MyShadowProductions # 101

Buenos Dias a todos - just felt like “speaking Spanish” !

I forget sometimes but it is really easy to get to Union Station and then take the “Flatiron Flyer” (an RTD bus) to Boulder for a change of scenery and some nature. The travel time from my apartment door to the Downtown Boulder Station is about an hour and a half.

This trip I tried to walk a few different paths and see what I could see.

The path in the photo below was new for me as it was closed during COVID shutdowns for at least 18 months ?!?!?

The amount of water that comes down from the mountains as the snow melts is just amazing to me and so cool to watch :)

Sometimes Boulder can be “too Boulder” for me but at least there are many places to just kind of step aside and let things be (hypothetically :) that is.

I saw this statue of Chief Niwot:

                                                     The story is sad :(

Remember my previous Post #55 when I visited the Town of Niwot? Click here to re-visit.

Surprise, surprise but I took some photos and even created a movie/video for your viewing “pleasure”. Click here for a peak.

There are a few things “hidden” in the movie/video, did you notice them? Or did you “cheat” and read this part of the Blog before watching the movie/video? Remember, honesty is the best “policy” :)

I couldn’t resist and had my usual gyros sandwich 

I saw this “old rock/Boulder” when I stopped for a little rest along the creek. In awe of nature’s ability to create everything that went into the history of “that rock”. Just look at the amazing straight lines/stratifications all created without experts, scientists, social media, special councils, studies, etc., etc., please pardon my rant :)

My thoughts were interrupted then, as that is when I noticed the snake in the photo above and “it was time to move on”. I was embarrassed that the snake probably sensed my thoughts. I am sure he had a very lovely day in spite of my visit :)

ENJOY !!!

MyShadowProductions # 100

Hello everyone!

I don’t know if I had a goal when I started MyShadowProductions blogpost, but this is Post #100 and I am very grateful that I have been able to reach that “milestone” :)

A lot of ideas went through my mind about what the 100th post should be and in the end I have decided to make it short and simple.

A few of my fairly constant themes have been Sanity Walks, Street Art and of course MyShadow. Thankfully these can be captured just about anywhere in the world and I have been fortunate to do that in a few places :)

The movie/video for this Post is Denver Street Art 6. I know I use the term “Street Art” loosely but I hope you get the idea.

I imagine most of the time you view my Posts on your phones?? (I also imagine that you know I prefer to view them on my iPad:) On your phone please click on “View web version” and then you can see “Blog Archive” and it lists all the months from April 2020 to this month. Please click on any or all for a quick view back in time and hopefully enjoy them again! The Blog Archive also has a column for Labels that I try to assign to each Post. It looks like Art, Sanity Walk and Travel are the top three.

Here are a couple of screenshots from my phone showing where to find “View web version” and “Blog Archive”.

Thank you all so much for “playing along” and viewing my Posts.
