Last March three thousand images in my iStock / Getty was my goal for 2015. I was hoping I could make it to the whitewater festival in Salida and maybe even the Garden of the Gods 10 mile run. Much to my surprise my summer was far more fruitful than that. There were sports events, … Continue reading Four Thousand

Slight Course Change
Well that didn't work... my evanescent attempt at writing for someone else. My job as a college sports writer did not go well. Assignments and deadlines were given, files opened and a blank screen appeared before me awaiting my clever words. But the words did not come. Three days I stared at the whiteness without … Continue reading Slight Course Change
Nocturnal and First Snow
Two o'clock a.m. and I'm wide awake, too awake to sleep and too tired to do anything constructive. Starting to wonder if I'm becoming nocturnal! I hope not, hiking at night would be a real bummer! Guess I'll write a blog. Nothing like throwing a bunch of random thoughts onto the virtual paper to bring … Continue reading Nocturnal and First Snow
Bierstadt
I have been wanting to get up to Georgetown and Guanella Pass to hike Bierstadt since being reminded of it on 14ers.com. Twenty years has passed by since I have climbed a 14er for real and I didn't want another year to slip by without feeling the exhilaration of a summit. I knew the pass … Continue reading Bierstadt
Pikes Peak Ascent
Wow, what an adventure today was! Last night I set my alarm for 4:30 a.m. to get an early start on my day photographing the Pikes Peak Ascent, but the alarm proved to be unnecessary as I awoke at 4:20 a.m. on my own wired up and ready to go! One cup of coffee and … Continue reading Pikes Peak Ascent
Paddlefest
Today turned out to be a pretty big day, the furthest from home I've been in a long time. After years of hoping to photograph the Paddlefest whitewater festival in Buena Vista, I finally made it today. I awoke at 5:00 a.m. and it was foggy and cold so I was tempted to just give … Continue reading Paddlefest
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
Layers of Stress
`At first, upon Tricia's death I was even more stressed out than I was before. But as time passes I can feel myself unwinding, as if it is one layer at a time. For so long I have been in a race against time, running one errand at a time and coming right home to … Continue reading Layers of Stress
