Animals in Heaven

This is a question that comes up often for animal loving believers. Having read the Bible from front to back more than a dozen times I can say with certainty... it doesn't say one way or the other. But of course, the absence of a definitive answer from scripture that doesn't mean that it isn't … Continue reading Animals in Heaven →

Writer’s Block

I have heard of Writer's Block... a situation where a writer cannot seem to write anymore for some unknown reason. I have had some Writer's Block lately, but I know the reason. I know what I am supposed to write, I just don't want to do it. So I guess if I'm going to get … Continue reading Writer’s Block →

Destruction

I have been enjoying immensely the time I have recently spent in the solitude of the wilderness, time that I spend walking and communing with the Almighty. Time I also spend seeking, experiencing and photographing His creation. The furry creatures whose paths I cross are always busy about their business of eating, drinking and occasionally … Continue reading Destruction →

Photography Book

I believe this is some sort of record... 9 years to read one book. In my defense, it was lost for quite awhile, packed in a box in a storage unit. Extreme Digital Photography by Johnathan Chester. I still remember finding this book, not too long after I got my first digital camera. The book … Continue reading Photography Book →

Milestone

Well I finally did it. 3000 images on iStock by Getty Images. This has been my goal for a couple of years now, but one problem after another built a wall of resistance that I just could not climb. I uploaded my first image on July 31, 2006 after an article was published in a … Continue reading Milestone →

On Euphemisms and Trophy Hunting

According to Wikipedia,“A euphemism is a generally innocuous word or expression used in place of one that may be found offensive or suggest something unpleasant.”. As a writer, I often go to great effort to discover the word that most precisely represents the idea that I am trying to convey. Here I've used the word … Continue reading On Euphemisms and Trophy Hunting →

Spring Snowshoeing

Took advantage of the big spring snowstorm to get in a snowshoe hike. If you count a Colorado winter as the months from September to May, this was almost the first year since I began snowshoeing a decade ago that I didn't go at all. I was pretty sure I was going to miss the … Continue reading Spring Snowshoeing →

Spring Snow

It was about this time one year ago in a big April snowstorm while I was snowed in up in the mountains that the hospital decided to release Tricia to a nursing home following the surgery on her spine to remove the cancer in hopes that she would be able to retain the use of … Continue reading Spring Snow →

Bald Mountain

The trail to Bald Mountain is only a few blocks from my house, a five or six mile round trip journey to the highest point in the local vicinity. I used to like to climb up there at least once a week to see all the birds and enjoy the tranquility up there. From there … Continue reading Bald Mountain →

Memories

Haunted by memories, that's what I'm noticing these days. At first I didn't notice it too much because I was already feeling bad anyway and I was busy with my nose to the grindstone moving out of the old place and into the new. Now the pressure for the move is off and I am … Continue reading Memories →
