Today is a cold dreary rainy snowy day and sitting at home was just too depressing so I thought the coffee shop in downtown Woodland Park would be nice. There is a table there that I consider mine, the one right by the south window where I can sit and look at Pikes Peak. Today … Continue reading Therapeutic

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
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
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
Thirty Days
Thirty days has passed since Tricia went home to Jesus and the knife edge of the pain has dulled a bit. Four weeks has been enough to organize my new place and develop some semblance of a new routine. My cats too seem to have settled in, found their favorite window perches and have started … Continue reading Thirty Days
The Lonliest Job
We have been on many an adventure over the last 25 years together. Sometimes we won and sometimes we lost. I can remember several times in the last few years when our business wasn't working out in the location that we found ourselves in and we had to scramble to get out. It isn't easy … Continue reading The Lonliest Job
