At present we would like anyone wishing to host have at least a 200 post count or have been active on POTN for a year. Hopefully, this will reduce the number of people that do not participate in a timely manner, or "forget" to move Nifty on to the next host, or simply don't care.

* Though, this doesn't seem to alter the fact that people tend to forget to send Nifty on and tend to post very little... with some exceptions! To sign up to be a host, please copy the list completely, add your name to the bottom of the sub-list that is in your area of the world, paste the entire list into a new post with your name added.


Again, if you are near the top of the USA list James (bk2life) is ready to move Nifty along. Please contact him..

(RI) Archer1960
(Tx)Itsallart (Renata)

What do the rules say about bringing a nifty to a different continent? :-D

I'm planning on traveling for a few months next summer, I could bring the EU nifty along?

Even though Colorado's water provides for much of the arid southwest, all of our large bodies of water are reservoirs with the exception of Grand Lake. This is Pueblo Reservoir which is also a State Park. Pikes Peak is in the upper center of the photo and marks the eastern end of the Rockies.

It was probably -10 degrees F (-23 C) this morning when I took these two shots from the road that runs by our home.

In the distance you can see the twin towns of Westcliffe (left) and Silver Cliff 10 miles to the north.

Paul, another beautiful set.
I don't know how I would cope with these temperatures anymore! I'm getting old, I suppose :)

The 3rd shot with a fence is gorgeous. Love the composition and the color temperatures. Quite colplemenatry.

That's a neat perspective of Pike's Peak! I took the train up the mountain in august, had no idea how it stands out in the distance. I'm trying to find a lake in the pictures that I shot up there but can't find it.

Thanks Renata. Thank you, MPCMan ... Pueblo Reservoir is about 60 miles southwest of Pikes Peak.

Today, Nifty visits the immediate neighborhood.

Your Guide, Sophie the dog.

Walking to the mailbox on the corner we pass the Three Creeks Ranch, our neighbor to the east.

We turn around to visit our neighbor's property to the west, stopping by our place for a shot of the creek. The average date the creek totally freezes over is December 1 and we were within a day of that this year. It usually is 100% thawed on April 1.

Our neighbor's home to the west sits on the corner of his 76 acres. I keep an eye on his place (they live in Oklahoma) and they let us walk the grounds.

His bridge over the local creek. Show off.

My bridge over the same creek for comparison. Sophie looks kind of embarrassed ;-)a

When you go over his bridge, there is a path that leads to the rest of his property. Lots of trees, meadows and a few beaver ponds.

Tomorrow we'll return to the property to cut our Christmas tree. The water table is very high and trees love to grow here. There are areas in the back of the property where we fill find pines trees growing in thick patches and we'll cut one of those. This will be our 5th year doing that. We always pass this tree first. It's right along the pathway growing all by itself so it would be quite inappropriate to cut it down, but every year we have a chuckle talking about how easy it would be :twisted:

That's a great set of images, Paul.
I always love to see a hosts direct surroundings, his/her neighbourhood, especially since the can be so vastly different from one host to the other. Your neighbourhood looks like a wonderful place to live, lots of space. Love the first one of Sophie. Sweet face and eyes.
