Footsteps Trailhead

Beautiful morning for a hike and Grouse Mountain is my go to trail for getting some exercise for me and my four legged hiking buddy. Still have my eye on the distant trail, but not enough time today. The Sangre De Cristo were extra beautiful this morning so I decided on the dead end road … Continue reading Footsteps Trailhead →

Footsteps of the Prospectors

Nice ending to a lazy Sunday... Thanks to my ever energetic canine explorer I was not destined to have a full day of rest on this Lord's Day 🙂 Son Boy was getting restless late in the afternoon so I decided to take him on a good hike to the Grouse Mountain overlook near Victor, … Continue reading Footsteps of the Prospectors →

The Fawns

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 →

Last Vestiges of Winter

Getting out the winter parka and relighting the pilot light on the furnace can be a … Continue reading Last Vestiges of Winter →

The Darkness and the Light

Interesting day... Sitting at the Donut Mill collecting my thoughts as I realized that it was this exact day that my wife went in to hospice down in Colorado Springs two years ago. The cancer had spread everywhere it seemed and there was no more hope. On March 5, 2015 she passed, ending six long … Continue reading The Darkness and the Light →
