A dark mountain base rising to the the snowcap just visible at the peak as it disappears into a bright white layer of cumulus clouds. Above that, a strip of bright blue sky topped with another very dark layer of clouds.
Mount Sopris beneath dramatic cloud layers. Throwback to 2023. Carbondale, Colorado USA.

Mount Sopris shrouded in clouds. Carbondale, Colorado USA. This is my dream spot every fall, getting to house sit with this view.

Photograph of a dark Mount Sopris, its twin peaks capped in bright white snow touched with early-morning sun. Between it and a bank of clouds overhead is clear blue sky.
For eight years I have spent six weeks or more staring at this gorgeous view in the fall. Hope this coming fall is number nine. It never gets old.

Photo of a snow-capped mountain with a layer of pink-tinged clouds at sunrise.
Five weeks in, and Mount Sopris finally gets snow my last two days here. Properly dressed at last.

I get one more week with this beautiful mountain view. The full(er) moon and cloud cover have created some lovely drama.

A double rainbow over a pasture.
Mount Sopris with a dusting of snow on its two peaks.
The passing storm gifted us with a double rainbow AND snow on the peaks tonight. Couldn't get the rainbow in one shot with the camera, so had to do a panorama with my cheap phone.

Photo of Mount Sopris with a light cloudy sky behind and a dark overhanging cloud above.
Yet another storm. They are certainly happy to have the rain. On the left side of the mountain, the aspen trees are turning yellow. Hope to get up into the higher elevations later this week and get some fall photos.

Couldn't sleep at 2 a.m. the other night, so took several 15 to 30-second exposure shots of Mount Sopris by moonlight.

Night photo of Mount Sopris with a lightning bolt striking on the right side.
This mountain just keeps on giving! The fifth thunderstorm in 24 hours put on quite a light show tonight. Can't believe I captured this shot.

Photo of Mount Sopris, half in blue sky and half covered by a gray rain shaft coming down from a white thunderhead.
The skies today have been every-changing. From midnight lightning to veiled landscapes to dramatic rain shafts over this amazing mountain. Mount Sopris is a jewel in Colorado's crown. Love spending a month here each year.

A monochromatic image of Mount Sopris partially obscured by rain and virga, with two distant birds flying into the clear.
Mystic Veil. Rain passing over Mount Sopris as two birds make their way down valley. This mountain never ceases to amaze me.

The photo is of some red cosmos flowers in focus with a blurred view of Mount Sopris in sunlight and topped with white clouds in a blue sky behind.
Spending another five weeks outside Carbondale, CO. Get to photograph Mount Sopris in all her beauty. This shot, taken from the deck, gives a hint of what's to come.

Landscape photo. A large snow-covered mountain rises on the horizon above a forest and a green spring town. There are some clouds in the sky. In the foreground there are red rocks and the branch of a juniper tree.
Every day is Earth Day.

Just minutes apart. How quickly the clouds in the lower photo start to burn off with the sunrise.

Photograph of Mount Sopris with snow on the peaks and a trail of low clouds to the left that are tinged in pink at sunset.
Longing for this view. Fingers crossed I get to be there again this fall.

A photograph of snow-covered trees through which is visible Mount Sopris and a partially-cloudy blue sky brightly lit by morning sun.
Happily not shopping today while I spend no time on oligarch media. Enjoying the @bluesky community and revisiting one of my favorite places.

Photo of Mount Sopris capped by bright white clouds, a strip of cobalt blue sky, and a band of dark overhanging clouds at the top. There is a dusting of snow on its peak.
Love this mountain. It can go from serene to "showtime!" in a matter of minutes. Mount Sopris, Carbondale, Colorado, USA.

I have an amazing opportunity each year to house sit for six to eight weeks in the Colorado mountains. This is a tiny sampling of the thousands of photos I've captured from the windows. 😍
