We all try to make the best decisions possible with the information we have at the time. Unfortunately we can't always read the future and sometimes we make a bad choice.

Best of the Best
My Alamy stock image portfolio doesn't get a lot of attention in my pages, perhaps because it is the smallest of my image portfolios. But I'm thinking it should get more love! I have been with Alamy for nearly a decade now, and during that time I have carefully selected only the best images from … Continue reading Best of the Best
Life’s a Beach
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

I have been wanting to get up to Georgetown and Guanella Pass to hike Bierstadt since being reminded of it on 14ers.com.

Undaunted, I have been taking the camera along faithfully as I push the wheelchair on our errands. It finally … Continue reading Fox and Deer
Making the Best of Things
Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer. As usual the skies have opened up with a deluge of rain as if heaven itself is mourning the loss of so many brave men and women in battle.

Easter
The higher I climb the closer I feel to God, so on Easter morning it seemed appropriate to make my highest climb of the spring. With first light I could see from home that the peak was going to be magnificent so I gathered up my equipment and headed out the door. The sun hadn't … Continue reading Easter
Spring Again
The storms of early April have finally abated and sunshine has returned to Ute Pass. I am getting a late start today and even though I knew that all the wildlife would have already finished their morning feeding and bedded down for a nap, I need the exercise and the climb up the mountain as … Continue reading Spring Again
