A visual tribute to the spectacular (lately somewhat singed) woodlands of Colorado by Matt Johnson, who sez:
Colorado is currently experiencing some of the largest wildfires in the state’s history. In July, I visited the Bruce Spruce Ranch a little ways outside of Pagosa Springs and watched as the Windy Pass, West Fork, and Papoose wildfires burned thousands of acres of forest. I have never seen such a powerful event up close like this before, it was truly humbling.

Cabra.
A tangy, springy cheese with a pleasing after-smell.
Woahtherehorsey.
Spotted this in Spain. We know from many ‘Where would you get it?’ posts that Cabra [particularly the western region] has some stunning scenery. Now, finally, Cabra has taken its place among the great cheese-producing regions of the world.
Loyalists held a protest in Bushmills on Saturday rather than attend the opening of an art project on which they had been working for 18 months – because it was being unveiled by a member of Sinn Fein.
But in spite of the protest the Peace Three art project of a cow was opened in the Millennium Park by Moyle District Council chairman, Sinn Fein councillor Cara McShane and DUP vice chair of Moyle council Robert McIlroy.
Last night chairman of Bushmills Residents and Environmental Forum, Derwyn Brewster, said they had asked councillor McShane “that if she was coming along, not to be speaking in Irish and not to take the limelight and to be low-key”.

There’s no one on earth he’s afraid of.
His father’s paternal grandfather was Irish.
Matthew Fitzpatrick, 18, said in his post victory interview with Jessica Marksbury following the victory at the 2013 U.S. Amateur Championship:
“I’ve not had a chance to check my Twitter, other than the followers have gone through the roof, which is strange and nice at the same time I guess. It could be a hectic next few days I think..”
Watch out Rory.
