Little experiment here... I wrote all this good stuff for an online news agency called the Examiner a few years ago and suddenly without warning they went out of business and all my articles just disappeared 😦 Luckily I wrote most of them in open office and saved them. Today fresh snow and Facebook reminded … Continue reading Ten tips for a successful snowshoe hike in the Colorado high country
Once the colorful leaves of autumn hit the ground the mountains look kind of drab... kind of just like big jagged rocks. Lol... hence the name Rocky Mountains I guess. 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
Got a bit of a late start today, just could not drag myself out of bed. But it would not have mattered anyway, there is so much mist from all the rain that I can barely see the peak from here. Was kind of hoping I would see some wildlife on the drive through the … Continue reading The Knoll
This morning began like any other... coffee, toast and an early start with the doggies for our hike in the woods. A magical mist filled the cool air this morning and the amazing green foliage seemed more lush than ever. The doggies even seemed to notice and were having a blast licking the water off … Continue reading Magical Morning
Had a pretty good day today, have to say so myself! Started out with my usual hike up the mountainside with the puppies. It was a beautiful cool cloudy morning portending the rainy day we have had. The forest is beautiful this year, very green, almost like the rain forest of the Great Northwest only … Continue reading The Art of Walking Away
After the possibilities I discovered yesterday in my new trails paradise I was a bit more eager to get in the truck and get back up there today. I didn't realize how hiking the same exact trail every day for eight years had become complete drudgery. I never even liked that part of the trail, … Continue reading Wings of Eagles
Another thing I've been wanting to do, Donkey Derby Days in Cripple Creek, Colorado... like forever. Almost skipped out again but when faced with going home for cooking and cleaning it was a no brainer. A quick drive to Cripple and me and the doggies were headed for main street to see the action. Unfortunately, … Continue reading Donkey Derby Days
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
Wow... been a long winter. Here on the north face of Pikes Peak there isn't much to photograph during the dark winter months. Between the winter and spring travels of the sun on the other side of the equator, Pikes Peak sits in the frozen silence of a season without sunlight. Although fascinating to watch, … Continue reading Spring 2017
Well it appears that I am back in business after a couple of months without my favorite lens, my Canon 70-200 zoom. It finally came back from the Canon repair shop with a broken roller replaced.. whatever that is, and some lubrication, cleaning and refocusing. I've had it back for a little while, but too … Continue reading Excellent Adventure
