The day started out in a tizzy when Photoshop informed I had one day to log into the Creative Cloud or my subscription was going to be closed.

Happy Winter Solstice
Alone in the woods in the coldness and darkness of the Rocky Mountain winter Christmas and the New Year holidays become meaningless dates on an arbitrary calendar, nights to be endured not celebrated... The birth of Christ, celebrated all over the world by families almost certainly did not occur exactly on the 25th of December … Continue reading Happy Winter Solstice

However we have been getting some snow here and there and a couple of days ago walking the dogs in the morning I noticed that … Continue reading Signs of Winter
Top of the Ridge
Winter was supposed to come early to southern Colorado and Cripple Creek last night... we got a little snow and some cold but the worst of the storm came in the form of some very dense and treacherous fog for anyone trying to drive through the darkness. It did make for a beautiful night in … Continue reading Top of the Ridge
First Snow
It was a beautiful crisp morning... the hint of fall definitely in the air here at almost 9,000 feet high in the Rocky Mountains. After a long week of drudgery and stress I knew I was in need of a road trip and the puppies needed their hike so I decided to take care of … Continue reading First Snow
Different Every Day
My wife when she was still with us used to call Pikes Peak a "Cantankerous Old Lady", which may well be very true 🙂 However she is also as beautiful as she is unpredictable and she can be counted on to put on a different face every day. I have to carry with me my … Continue reading Different Every Day
