The Santa Barbarians were in town this weekend — i.e., Loyette and Loyacita’s uncle, aunt and 3 1/2-year-old cousin — and we took the opportunity to go on a bunch of adventures, including a hike in Boulder on Saturday. We missed the trail we originally intended to take, and ended up hiking an invented loop trail combining portions of the Chautauqua, Bluebell Spur and Bluebell Road. Whatever — it was fun, and the views were fantastic!
For instance: you can see, above, the panorama that’s my latest blog masthead image. Here’s a shot looking in the opposite direction, at the Flatirons:
Here’s another panorama — like the one above, stiched together with Calico:
And here’s a rather more “macro” shot, of a butterfly on a thistle:
