Been house hunting for almost a year now and finally have one under contract. Financing is iffy though and I have been forced to document my sparse regular employment record. Apparently being a business owner does not count one iota when buying a house. th, 2015 when she passed... So there is a gap in … Continue reading New Chapter in Life

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
The Art of Walking Away
Had a pretty good day today, have to say so myself! Started out with my usual hike up the mountainside with the puppies. It was a beautiful cool cloudy morning portending the rainy day we have had. The forest is beautiful this year, very green, almost like the rain forest of the Great Northwest only … Continue reading The Art of Walking Away
Bucket List Deckers
As usual the day began with no clear plan. Saturday is my big day for picture taking so I had in mind a couple of ideas, one of which was driving to the peak to hide from the heat... I really didn't want to pay the $15 toll though so I just headed out, reminding … Continue reading Bucket List Deckers
Little Grouse Mountain
Woke up early this morning with no real plan for the day, but as always I threw my camera in the truck... just in case. The doggies both did their business quickly, which is a good thing, and a big time saver! So instead of my usual trip to the gym I decided to head … Continue reading Little Grouse Mountain
10,000 Captures
Today was a milestone of sorts... I hadn't noticed until I transferred the images to my laptop, but today my camera rolled over 10,000 images and started over at 00001. And as fate would have it, #10,000 was my favorite one of the day. I was at the library in the reading room checking out … Continue reading 10,000 Captures
Last Vestiges of Winter
Winters are long in the high country but I hope that this early May snowstorm will mark the end of winter 2017. Snow fell for 24 straight hours and the temperature dipped to 13 degrees on May Day Eve. Getting out the winter parka and relighting the pilot light on the furnace can be a … Continue reading Last Vestiges of Winter
Deer Herd Adventure
This morning the Almighty was smiling on my photography endeavors 🙂 Thankfully I got a good night's sleep and awoke before first light and before the doggies had any interest in departing from their comfortable slumber. So... there was time for a healthy breakfast of coffee and some discounted do-nut balls from Walmart that I … Continue reading Deer Herd Adventure
