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 Fawns

Yesterday was too hot to do anything most of the day and not a cloud in sight. Top that off with some horrendous Labor Day traffic going through town and it was just a nice day to hang out in the air conditioning and rest up a bit from the long week before. However the … Continue reading The Fawns

New Chapter in Life

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
