Itinerant biologist. Most recently working with photosynthetic critters.

Apparently it is Turkey Day in Loveland. Saw the group by the juniper on the ride into work this morning. I think it was the same group I saw again but the had moved about 2 miles as the bike rides the trails.

Lots of wildflowers at Lory State Park. Cacti look to have buds.

Nice hike up to the top of the A west of town. Trail was busy, but not as busy as I expected for relatively warm morning in December.

#Colorado does a good job with the entire voting process. They even send you an email with a “sticker”!

Edit to add that I signed up for ballottrax, which I assume is state-wide. Details @ https://www.coloradosos.gov/voter/pages/pub/home.xhtml

Colorado Secretary of State -

One of the deer I saw. Also saw at least three does with fawns (single, twins, and maybe triplets)

The new connector trail between the Nomad and Stout Trails is really nice. Lets you have a nice loop hike and you can avoid Towers Trail other than crossing it. Lots of deer this morning. Cacti are close to blooming. #Bloomscrolling #FortCollins #HorsetoothMOS
Still a good amount of blooms in Maxwell Natural Area this morning. #FortCollins #BloomScrolling with bonus lichen on rock
Hiked the Towhee Loop up at #SoapstoneOS and came across this small flowering cactus

Edited to add #Bloomscrolling and we did walk a little of the Mahogany Trail before doubling back to finish the Towhee Loop.
