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
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
Finally resolved an issue that has been dogging me for years... The question, is highway 67 paved all the way from Woodland Park to highway 285. I know I was on that segment, probably 30 years ago... fishing with friends near Deckers, way too long ago to remember details, other than 285 from Littleton and … Continue reading Broken Memories
Before 2008 when the stock and housing markets crashed, there were indicators of the choppy seas ahead. My wife and I were involved in three businesses, unfortunately all non-essential to daily life. She had two businesses, mobile disc jockeying in the wedding industry and the online and physical sales of collectibles at a store we … Continue reading Leading Indicator of Better Times
If This Jacket Could Talk As luck would have it, I got a really good deal on a new Gor-Tex jacket the other day. Later that day as I went to zip up my old one it didn't feel right, looked down and the zipper was broken... zip all you want, but it isn't going … Continue reading If This Jacket Could Talk
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
I don't know how this piece turned out this way. I was going to write a long post on opening a studio. So I was going to throw it out and start over, but I thought, "This is raw stuff, maybe it will help someone going through hard times?". So I'm not even going to … Continue reading Out of the Darkness
My best friend Buddy crossed Rainbow Bridge tonight. He was all heart, but his heart could hold on no longer. When he came to me the vet thought he was about 6 years old, which would make him 22 tonight. He has been faithfully sitting on my lap while I work at my computer or … Continue reading Buddy
The nightmare week of snow is finally over with, the sun is shining and it appears spring may be trying to make a comeback. I have to say, it was not a pleasant week, the snow was wet and sticky, horrible for snowshoes or ice trekkers. The colors were too dull and gray for anything … Continue reading Life’s a Beach
One full year has gone by since the passing of my wife and companion of 27 years. Much has changed in that year, but much is the same. I find that I miss what we had together, especially during our years in the Denver area. I miss our home, our friends our holidays together and … Continue reading One Year Ago
