I photographed the girls’ and boys’ basketball games between Broomfield and Holy Family last weekend. The Broomfield girls geeked out a win while the Holy Family boys survived a furious rally by Broomfield secure the victory. Broomfield dug itself a 17-0 hole to start but clawed back into the game to trail only by 9 at the half. After rapidly chipping away at the lead to start the second half, The Eagles faded down the stretch. The game featured several dunks which was exciting to see.

Fall Color Steamboat, CO
I took a drive near Steamboat Springs, CO to see the fall color this week. It was really vibrant this year with numerous reds and oranges interspersed amongst the normal yellow aspen. The weather was perfect, too. It was a great chance to try out my new Hasselblad X2dii. What an amazing camera!

The Colorado Kansas’s State Football game last night at Folsom Field was another thriller but this team the visiting team came away with the victory 31-28. Kansas State jumped out to an early 24-14 lead at halftime.

CU CSU Football 2024
The last Rocky Mountain Showdown for five years between Colorado and Colorado State occurred last Saturday. Colorado shook off a lethargic first half and took advantage of two second half interceptions to surge to a 28-9 victory. Travis Hunter once again proved he is a unique player in college football, grabbing two touchdown catches and an interception. The interception was particularly athletic as he broke on the ball before the receiver and snatched it from his grasp. Colorado takes on Baylor this weekend at home.

Odessa Lake Trail
This week I hiked to Odessa Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, a place I’d never been before. The hike starts at the Bear Lake trailhead, passing Lake Helene, and ending up at Odessa Lake. It is a beautiful but challenging 8 mile RT hike.
The first part of the trail follows Bear Lake and then quickly veers uphill after .2 of a mile. The trail climbs above Bear Lake and then veers sharply to the left. The lake is 3.6 miles from this point. For the next .5 mile, the trail heads steeply uphill through the pine forest. At this point, another trail junction makes a sharp left (toward the summit of Flattop Mountain). Ignore this junction and continue heading straight. The trail continues to climb. Soon, you will pass a clearing where views of the Mummy Range open up to the north. You will come to a large boulder field and avalanche chute that provides more open views.
The trees begin to thin at this point and views of the mountains to the west appear. The trail through this section is quite easy. The grade is only a gentle uphill slope. As views of the mountains open up, the trail makes a hard right turn. At this point (around mile 3.5), a small social trail to the left is visible. Take this trail and after .2 mile, Lake Helene awaits. It is willow choked around the shore but a few spots are accessible. Follow the indistinct social trail to the left and visit some of the open spots along the lake. Lake Helene is quite shallow so the reflections are amazing here.
After rejoining the main trail, continue heading north on the trail if you want to visit Lake Odessa. Here’s the bad news–the trail descends quite steeply about 600-800 feet to reach the lake. This means you will have to climb this steep and rocky slope on the return unless you through-hike to the Fern Lake trailhead and catch the shuttle back to Bear lake (this adds about 1-1.5 miles to the total hike). Odessa Lake is visible in a couple of spots as you descend. The trail passes the lake before backtracking to the shoreline.
Enjoy lunch at the lake! You will need to recharge your batteries before the steep uphill climb back to Lake Helene. This part of the trail took me about 45 minutes. Once you reach this spot, however, it all downhill from here. The entire hike takes about 5-5.5 hours.

CU UNC Basketball 2023
The Colorado men’s basketball team continued its torrid offensive pace Friday night at home against Northern Colorado. A week after putting 90 points on last year’s finalist Miami, the Buffs put another 90 spot on the board, easily rolling past the Bears, 90-68. Even more impressive was the fact that the Buffs did it without sharp shooting forward Cody Williams who sat out his second straight game with a wrist injury. KJ Simpson went off for 21 while center Eddie Lampkin chipped in a double double of 10-10, including two monster dunks in the second half.

Pear leaves
I walked around the neighborhood today taking pictures of the last vestiges of fall color. Some pear trees and one oak still had some leaves left. I used my 85mm to blur the background on a handful of shots. I like how the background melts away with this lens.

CU-CSU Football 2023
The Rocky Mountain Showdown between Colorado and Colorado State in football is taking a hiatus for a few yers after this year. After last night’s game, the powers at be may want to rethink that one. Colorado rallied from down 28-17 in the fourth quarter to stun Colorado State in double overtime 43-35. Shedeur Sanders once again proved to be the hero driving his team 98 yards with less than two minutes left to tie the score at 28 with 35 seconds remaining at the end of regulation. The tying score came on a 40 yard toss to Jimmy Horn. Sanders then threw two more touchdown passes in the overtime sessions to seal the win for Colorado.
