  It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image comes from the Colorado Railroad Museum near Golden once again.  It's a great place to visit and the museum is housed in this beautiful depot.  It is a 2-8-0 wheel arrangement, also known as a Consolidation.  It was built in 1898 by Brooks Locomotive Works and had a long and varied career and was retired in 1953.  It was purchased then by the city of Boulder and put on display.  It stayed there for about 50 years and then was loaned and moved to the museum.  You can ring the bell of this locomotive.

 Today's image is one that I took in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs Colorado this past summer.  This is a rock formation called the Siamese Twins.  The park has many interesting rock formations like these and is free to everyone to visit.  I highly recommend it.  On this trip I had brought my bike and rode that through it which was great fun and a great way to see the park.

 It's Friday, TGIF!  Today's image is another from a recent walk I took after a rain.  I liked the dainty looking droplets on the dainty branches of this plant.  Not exactly sure what type of plant it is.  The bubbly bokeh is perfect for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 This was a different capture for me and it flew off quickly after I captured it.  This is a Cicada that was on the Autumn Sedum.  I am guessing it dropped from either the Mulberry or Walnut tree very nearby on either side.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's flower is the Catclaw Sensitive Briar.  It usually blooms May through September and is in the Bean family.  The leaflets are sensitive to touch and if you run your finger down the middle, they will quickly close up.  It's quite cool to see.

 It's a double digit day today!  😁  I was looking through some photos and found this one that I had forgotten about.  I was able to capture a fairly decent image of a Black Billed Magpie with my phone in the Garden of the Gods last July.  I love Magpies, nice color and interesting birds in the Corvid family along with Crows and Blue Jays.

 Happy Monday and happy new week!  I have another snowflake that I captured in late January.  This one is made up of 24 images stacked for focus.  It includes a partial one as well that I thought was fairly interesting so left it in.  This may be the last snowflake I share for awhile.  It's March and time to think spring thoughts.  😁
