Critics: Denver not cowtown

Speaking of which, if you haven't been yet (Denver residents: it's the law), this is the last week of the National Western Stock Show!

Social notes: The reclusive "Mr. B." visited the Drunkablog fambly from Somewhere Else this weekend. Everybody is safe. Yesterday walking around downtown we noticed the Sloane Gallery of Contemporary Russian Art:


Molotov ("Mr. B.").



Washington holding the heads of Hitler and Stalin.


Detail: Stalin's head ("Mr. B.").



Neo-realist rendering of The Father of Our Country.

Update: nature-type pics also taken this weekend:


Downy Woodpecker ("Mr. B.", but I cropped the hell out of it so you could see the little bastard).


Platte River just below Confluence Park ("Mr. B.").



Mule deer (the D-a-W).

Update II: Mmmmm, a palace of beef.
