Darkness Cannot Drive Out Darkness

This title and powerful truth of course, a quote from the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. One of our most sacred rights in this country is our right to free speech, followed by freedom of assembly and freedom of association. These are called "unalienable rights", rights so important that the government is forever banned … Continue reading Darkness Cannot Drive Out Darkness →

First Snow

It was a beautiful crisp morning... the hint of fall definitely in the air here at almost 9,000 feet high in the Rocky Mountains. After a long week of drudgery and stress I knew I was in need of a road trip and the puppies needed their hike so I decided to take care of … Continue reading First Snow →

Endurance

This time of year always reminds me of the big endurance races here in Colorado, the Pikes Peak Marathon and the Leadville 100 Mile “Race Across the Sky”. Although it has been a long time since I have run the race I know the trials and tribulations of attempting to run 100 miles at an … Continue reading Endurance →

Heart Attack

Lol... well, maybe not a literal heart attack, but certainly a close call! Saw a couple of beautiful young buck mule deer this morning and jumped out of the truck to get some shots with my F4L 70-200 lens that I just had refurbished by the Canon repair shop. But it would not focus. I … Continue reading Heart Attack →

Majestic Morning

Luckily I awoke early on this cold wet morning... Down here in the valley it just looked like any other foggy misty morning and I had no idea of the beauty awaiting me on the mountainside. Actually I just wanted to get to the gym early to beat the crowds so I loaded up the … Continue reading Majestic Morning →

Picture Perfect

Pretty darn chilly here at 9,000 feet high in the Colorado Rockies today, enough to put on a hoody to type this blog post anyway! Not complaining though, this weather is the reason I live here, definitely not a fan of being hot. Tourist at the post office was complaining and hoping it was going … Continue reading Picture Perfect →

Road Trip

Didn't even feel like getting out of bed this morning, much less going out and doing anything... But after wrestling with my mind I finally made it out the door 🙂 Of course having doggies who need their daily activities attended to help a lot! Had to make a stop at Walmart to pick something … Continue reading Road Trip →

Different Every Day

My wife when she was still with us used to call Pikes Peak a "Cantankerous Old Lady", which may well be very true 🙂 However she is also as beautiful as she is unpredictable and she can be counted on to put on a different face every day. I have to carry with me my … Continue reading Different Every Day →

Adobe Exclusivity

Was going to try an experiment today, actually I did begin the experiment by uploading a couple of #deer pictures from yesterday's Magical Morning to my Adobe Port as exclusive files through the Fotalia interface. However then I got curious as to why the Adobe upload interface didn't include the exclusive button and did a … Continue reading Adobe Exclusivity →

Magical Morning

This morning began like any other... coffee, toast and an early start with the doggies for our hike in the woods. A magical mist filled the cool air this morning and the amazing green foliage seemed more lush than ever. The doggies even seemed to notice and were having a blast licking the water off … Continue reading Magical Morning →
