Happy Lamas

On my Saturday morning bicycle ride I encountered a field full of lamas. It was a beautiful sight after so many smoke filled days and after not being able to ride for a week.

Lamas seem like such peaceful and happy creatures. They don’t really make any noise and just meander around eating the grass. I know they are raised for their wool but they seem to make nice pets too.

IRES First Colorado Green MLS

As a member of the Appraisal Committee at the Colorado Governor’s Energy Office (GEO), I’m proud to say we’ve made some very good progress. Over the past few months the committee has developed a set of recommended ‘green fields’ for adoption by the various Colorado MLS.

IRES, the leading MLS provider for Northern Colorado went live last Wednesday. That makes IRES the first MLS in the state to implement the green fields recommended by the Appraisal Committee.

This means green certified homes like Energy Star and LEED can now be identified in the search fields. In addition to green certified homes, other green home search fields include HERS Rating, Solar PV, Solar Thermal. A Green Features Addendum is also available for selling agents to specify additional green features of the home.

Supporting documentation for all certifications and ratings are required. The image below is a clip of the IRES Green input fields. MetroList expects to implement the green fields in the Q1/Q2 2001 time frame although the green addendum may be available sooner.

More information for consumers and real estate agents will become available in coming days and weeks.

A Bee Fountain

At the water fountain near the flower garden at Columbine Unity Church in Boulder Colorado on Saturday there seemed to be a Bee Fest going on. Our men’s group had an early morning pancake breakfast. No one knows who invited the bees but they came in force.

I noticed at least three different types: honey bees, yellow jackets and wasps. Fortunately, they seemed more interested in the water than our pancake syrup.

Balance

Balance is one of my favorite words. I believe we need to find healthy balance in both our personal and professional lives. Balance in diet, exercise and recreation means we strive to meet our needs without excess or over indulgence. Emotional balance means we maintain a level of sensitivity without allowing our emotions to interfere with our better judgment.

There is balance in nature too. The river rock art below mimics the balance in nature in a most beautiful way. The photos were taken at Boulder Creek near downtown Boulder. When the wind blows or the water rises, the rocks will return to the riverbed and another form of balance will be restored.

Sunset in Lyons Colorado

I visited a friend’s house in Lyons Colorado on Saturday evening. Lyons is a small town setting about 15 miles north of Boulder.

It was a nice potluck gathering with a few close friends and family members. The deck behind her home overlooks a large canyon and has a spectacular view of the sunset.

It was pretty cloudy most of the time but I managed to capture a couple of choice shots. One of my favorite is the one with a silhouette of a plant in the foreground.

Never Give Up…

We all face challenges in life—some of us more than others. What we do in response to those challenges reveals our true character. In this way, we can see the blessing in the challenge because it can help us to understand who we really are. And sometimes it can help others realize who they are too.

This video is deeply moving and very inspirational. If ever I would be called upon, I would be grateful to have just one ounce of this man’s courage.

Extraordinary Voice of a 10 Year Old: Jackie Evancho

When I first heard this I could hardly believe it. It brought chills to my body and tears to my eyes. Pure beauty incarnate in sound and form. Wow…I am truly awestruck.

Is it me just starting to become aware or are there more and more child prodigies in the world today. Perhaps they have always been here and now the age of the Internet has brought them to our attention.

Congratulations Jackie…enjoy the ride but don’t let them take your childhood away.

Previous Post:  Good Morning Boulder

Going Up!

Tomorrow I’ll do a solo bike ride from Boulder to Estes Park and back. I’ve been training for this for about a month now and I am ready to go. My route will go up Lee Hill Drive to Left Hand Canyon then over to Jamestown. From there I’ll take Overland Drive to Peak-to-Peak Highway. I’ll turn left at Hwy. 7 and follow that to Estes Park. I’ll turn around within an hour and come back Hwy 7 to Lyons and then take Hwy 36 back to Boulder.

I estimate the total distance at about 95 miles and the peak elevation around 10,000 feet. This will be the first long distance ride for me in the Rocky Mountains and I am really looking forward to it. I’m not trying to set any records, just finish the ride on two wheels. I’ll post some photographs of the ride within a couple of days.

The photo below shows my bicycle, which I’ve had for nearly 30 years. I have logged thousands of miles on that bike—it has served me well. It’s an old racing frame that I modified for long distance.

Fury Friends

In encountered these fury friends along the road during my bike ride yesterday in the foothills above Boulder. It is interesting how wildlife in many locations have become accustomed to us humans lingering nearby.

The deer just stood there and looked at me. They didn’t seem too bothered that I was so close to them. The little squirrel dashed around a little but then settled in and seemed to be just waiting for me to pass on by.

I guess the wildlife is not so wild anymore.
