Difference a Few Days Can Make

The weather changes fast in Colorado, that much is certain! A few days ago I was making my morning rounds, the gym, the grocery store, the library, etc. until I finally ran out of things to do. So I stopped at my favorite Pikes Peak viewing location to walk the doggies. When I was done … Continue reading Difference a Few Days Can Make

Tour of the Mines

Had a day off from unloading Walmart trucks yesterday... Didn't bother to make any plans as I am usually so  trashed from the trucks the day before that I am unable to function, but unfortunately I was up way early anyway with nothing to do. Was going to make my usual rounds running errands, which … Continue reading Tour of the Mines

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

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

Another Sunday

Survived another Sunday... Not my best day in the eyes of the Almighty though I am sure! The day was going pretty well, managed to get showered shaved and off to church 🙂 That's where things began to falter though. Managed to say "shit" in church, right in front of  the pastor while spilling coffee … Continue reading Another Sunday

Excellent End to a Bad Day

Not such a great day... didn't get a lot of sleep last night, one of those nightmares where you are half awake trying to accomplish some task that you can't figure out and it won't end... Finally woke up enough to just get up and wake up all the way so I could go back … Continue reading Excellent End to a Bad Day

Getty Images / iStock Unification Project

This is something that has been a long time coming... iStock, although still a separate entity has now been migrated to Getty servers and management. A couple of years ago a project to place iStock exclusive editorial content on Getty was announced, implemented and promptly withdrawn. In the meantime I was tormented by the fact … Continue reading Getty Images / iStock Unification Project

Solstice 2016

The new year holiday is meaningless to me, based on nothing but someone's idea of a chronological date indicating an arbitrary division of time developed centuries ago. However, the Winter Solstice is real, something significant in the alignment of stars, planets, the sun and the earth. It is a mark in time that has a … Continue reading Solstice 2016

Christmas Gifts

With the Christmas gift season at hand, I thought I would write a quick post about the ordering process for gifts and prints from my website. First of all, please do not be concerned that you are going to cause me to be overworked! Back in the day I tried to manage orders that people … Continue reading Christmas Gifts

Back Button Focus

It was in the autumn in the high alpine regions of the Colorado Rockies when Mount Evans Road finally opened last year and I was able to make the drive to the summit. I had high hopes of seeing abundant wildlife, based on the reports of my competitors who had made the trip in previous … Continue reading Back Button Focus
