Oh, look at him after crossing 4 lanes of tourist traffic, cool as a cucumber. He’s a king and he knows it!

The Lake Estes loop is a casual stroll but it doesn’t look casual in the slightest #hiking #thestanley #estespark

Lovely afternoon at Lory State Park. It’s still shorts weather #hiking

It’s been over 2 hours and my fingers are still burning at a 4/10. I was afraid to touch my kid at bed time but its almost midnight and no one is screaming so far 🤞

I touched my mouth and my nose 😭

Tiny bull snake + Longs telling me it’s been too long #hiking #colorado

Im going to mess these guys when the frost hits! My best year with black petunias by far, I discovered that they like a lot more water than I thought and also that they need a daily worm patrol if you see holes on the petals. #flowers #gardening

These have all been in my prop tank so long I can’t remember what they all are. An alocasia cuprea definitely and I think there’s a gloriosum in there, but no clue on the rest of it. Plants that don’t appreciate that lo-humidity Colorado air, that’s all I know. #gardening

I still get my kids with this one. Classic 🖤

smfbee.bsky.social @smfbee.bsky.social · 10d

Also I found a half oz of indica in the trail. Can’t believe I forgot to mention that.

We sure do get lucky with the weather sometimes. The sky looked so nasty I was noting places we could shelter from hail on the way up, but we got a face full of sunshine at the top. #hiking #colorado

I was just thinking that! Who looks at a home like that and believes that the people who live there live a Christ-like life?

smfbee.bsky.social @smfbee.bsky.social · 11d

Yes. This is a tree falling in the woods situation

Out following the north fork today, a bit of peace from the all this shit #hiking #dogsky #colorado

When people say 14ers make their own weather, this is what they’re talking about + other pictures from todays hike (it’s leaf-peepin season above 7000 ft!) #hiking #estespark #longspeak

smfbee.bsky.social @smfbee.bsky.social · 25d

No, it made me laugh. Wild coincidence, but just yesterday we were listening to loons on YouTube and my kids were trying to perfect their loon calls and it was hilarious.
I hear u on the other stuff. Anything to stay in the present instead of the future 🖤

My plans to hike all weekend were thwarted by rain and wonderful surprise visits from family. Here are some photos of past hikes in the snow, because it’s coming #hiking #RMNP
