Broken Memories

Finally resolved an issue that has been dogging me for years... The question, is highway 67 paved all the way from Woodland Park to highway 285. I know I was on that segment, probably 30 years ago... fishing with friends near Deckers, way too long ago to remember details, other than 285 from Littleton and … Continue reading Broken Memories

Surreal Day

Stopped by the Garden on my way back from giving a friend a ride to the cancer Pavilion at Penrose to see if I could find the bighorn sheep. No luck there, but the view of Pikes Peak was kind of pretty. Well worth stopping at the visitor's center for a few shots anyway. Been … Continue reading Surreal Day

Dog Tired

Lol... there is nothing like a dog to get you going when you are "Dog Tired". It has been a rough week so far. Four punishing nights in a row on the loading docks, two early morning dental appointments for a friend, another early morning appointment at the oncology center for another friend. Fighting off … Continue reading Dog Tired

Leading Indicator of Better Times

Before 2008 when the stock and housing markets crashed, there were indicators of the choppy seas ahead. My wife and I were involved in three businesses, unfortunately all non-essential to daily life. She had two businesses, mobile disc jockeying in the wedding industry and the online and physical sales of collectibles at a store we … Continue reading Leading Indicator of Better Times

If This Jacket Could Talk

If This Jacket Could Talk As luck would have it, I got a really good deal on a new Gor-Tex jacket the other day. Later that day as I went to zip up my old one it didn't feel right, looked down and the zipper was broken... zip all you want, but it isn't going … Continue reading If This Jacket Could Talk

The Darkness and the Light

Interesting day... Sitting at the Donut Mill collecting my thoughts as I realized that it was this exact day that my wife went in to hospice down in Colorado Springs two years ago. The cancer had spread everywhere it seemed and there was no more hope. On March 5, 2015 she passed, ending six long … Continue reading The Darkness and the Light

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

Photographic Journey

Today I'm continuing my photographic journey through the last few years looking for the best images to upload to the Adobe Stock Photo library... Funny, I forget a lot of things from the past, but when I see these images I can pretty much remember the exact moment of each capture. If it weren't for … Continue reading Photographic Journey

Best of the Best

My Alamy stock image portfolio doesn't get a lot of attention in my pages, perhaps because it is the smallest of my image portfolios. But I'm thinking it should get more love! I have been with Alamy for nearly a decade now, and during that time I have carefully selected only the best images from … Continue reading Best of the Best

Life’s a Beach

The nightmare week of snow is finally over with, the sun is shining and it appears spring may be trying to make a comeback. I have to say, it was not a pleasant week, the snow was wet and sticky, horrible for snowshoes or ice trekkers. The colors were too dull and gray for anything … Continue reading Life’s a Beach
