Eclipse Party on Bald Mountain
Kind of forgot about this... until I downloaded the camera chip from yesterday's shoot and discovered these images were still unprocessed! Well, better late than never 🙂 Actually I almost missed the event completely. On the day of the eclipse I was just out making my usual rounds, going to the gym, getting supplies for … Continue reading Eclipse Party on Bald Mountain
The Clearing
Continued my exploration of the new trailhead and trail system that I have been working for the last couple of weeks. After encountering "the gate" I had to branch out in a new direction and the cool cloudy morning we are having seemed just the day to do that. So early this morning the puppies … Continue reading The Clearing
The Dilemma
Just when I thought I had found the superhighway to the high peaks of the Ute Pass northern ridge, I find myself thwarted by a gate and a no trespassing sign 🙁 I finally got an early enough start in the cool of the day to really take a run at that trail with the … Continue reading The Dilemma
Amazing Day
Amazing end to an amazing day, fascinating how things turn out sometimes... but I'll get to that later. The day started out great when I decided to explore a new trailhead that the troll doesn't know about and I found a magnificent parking lot, an open space park and a whole network of trails, including … Continue reading Amazing Day
Rough Start
Wasn't sure I was going to make it out this morning... I don't know, maybe it's the damp weather, or maybe just too many hours on the loading docks this week, but when I awoke this morning it felt like a bomb had exploded inside my body. Got up, turned on the coffee pot and … Continue reading Rough Start
Real Live Troll
Too much traffic to go anywhere and too hot and sunny for picture taking today, besides I couldn't get past the troll anyway. Crazy as it is, I have a real live troll in my life... blond woman, fat ugly bleached blond chain smoking foul mouthed wretch of a human being about 50 years old … Continue reading Real Live Troll
Black and White
I wasn't quite satisfied with yesterday's image, it didn't convey the coldness that I intended. This morning I decided to bring it back up and use a Photoshop technique I invented some time back for black and white renditions of deer in snow. One time I was working on one of those blizzard images and … Continue reading Black and White
Hiding in My Cave
The weekend before the big Fourth of July holiday week, also the time for the mass migration of city people to the mountains... Lol, the tourists are like, "where are all the fireworks booths"? Mountain people... there aren't any, we kind of frown upon burning down the mountains for entertainment. My town is on a … Continue reading Hiding in My Cave
Beautiful Morning
It was a beautiful cool morning today, a welcome relief to the scorching heat we have been experiencing here in Colorado this June. Lol.. I know we sound like real wimps when we get to complaining when the temps rise above 80 when the rest of the country is sweltering in 100 plus misery, but … Continue reading Beautiful Morning
