As I drove home Thursday night in 15 degree weather in a fog layer so dense that I could barely see to drive, I was pretty sure that the Pike National Forest surrounding my home would be clothed in a mantle of magnificent white in the morning. I knew it would be well worth my … Continue reading Picturesque Morning Frost

Solstice 2016
The new year holiday is meaningless to me, based on nothing but someone's idea of a chronological date indicating an arbitrary division of time developed centuries ago. However, the Winter Solstice is real, something significant in the alignment of stars, planets, the sun and the earth. It is a mark in time that has a … Continue reading Solstice 2016
The Real St. Nick
Beautiful article by my friend Rachel 🙂
What comes to mind when you hear “Santa Clause” or “St Nick?” Is it a jolly old man with a white beard, big belly, and a red suit??? For most of us it is. You’d probably be surprised to hear that in reality St Nicholos was Greek, with olive colored skin and dark eyes. He did seem to have a short white beard, but there was no Christmas cookie belly or red suit ;). He was known for his generosity, but there was a lot more to his story than just that. Life didn’t seem to treat him fairly and robbed him of his loved ones at a young age. He went through a lot, but he used what he had to bless others.
Life isn’t fair for a lot of us!! I know it, and you know it. Life can be so difficult. Some of the nicest people in…

First of all, please do not be concerned that you are going to cause me to be overworked! Back in the day I tried to manage orders that people … Continue reading Christmas Gifts
Out of the Darkness
I don't know how this piece turned out this way. I was going to write a long post on opening a studio. So I was going to throw it out and start over, but I thought, "This is raw stuff, maybe it will help someone going through hard times?". So I'm not even going to … Continue reading Out of the Darkness
Giving Thanks for Cyber Monday
I know, Thanksgiving would have been a much more appropriate time for a blog message... but I was working on Thanksgiving Day and was kind of bummed about that and didn't really feel very thankful about it. Looking back though, it wasn't so bad... way better than last year, which was the worst Thanksgiving of … Continue reading Giving Thanks for Cyber Monday
Creative Cloud
Just bought a new laptop, kind of a low end Lenovo but it's pretty fast, easy to set up and runs Photoshop very well. Was too lazy to look for my old Photoshop CS2 disk and have been meaning to try out Lightroom and Photoshop CC for Photographers so I decided this was as good … Continue reading Creative Cloud
Back Button Focus
It was in the autumn in the high alpine regions of the Colorado Rockies when Mount Evans Road finally opened last year and I was able to make the drive to the summit. I had high hopes of seeing abundant wildlife, based on the reports of my competitors who had made the trip in previous … Continue reading Back Button Focus
