Elk from a Ford Explorer

Elk from a Ford Explorer. I watched them out my window. My side window, my windshield, and my rear-view mirror. Rear-view mirrors. They’re powerful. You get to see what’s behind you; distorted and in the past.

Rocky Mountain National Park 2009

My dream come true. A light snow shoe hike in softly falling snow, simply meandering along snapping shots of whatever wandered in my field of view upon which I desired to focus.

An Evening Near Boulder, CO

It's a snowy day outside and inside. This day it was warm outside and inside. Someone (who will remain nameless) did something that meant a lot to me. I was back up in Boulder county this evening, with easy views of the mountains. It felt so comfortable to be back in the area that I spent so much of my time in CO.

Trinity Puppies

Puppies! Finally, Trinity puppies! I have waited years for this litter and finally it has arrived. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops and dump a ton of money on the deal to make it happen. But I knew I had to throw it all in one last time to see if it WOULD happen. It was worth every penny to hold these little ones in my arms.

Gmail addiction

Do you ever find yourself sitting on the couch, pressing the "inbox" button on gmail over and over again. Some people would call it OCD. I call it, "is anyone out there?". So my gmail addiction is really a Pink Floyd song. Sometimes, I just need someone to say something out of the blue that is completely unexpected. Sometimes, I need to hear from someone that I haven't heard from in awhile.

Maybe I'm hoping it will be someone I've lost in my life, who wants to make things right and re-ignite an old friendship. I want them to remember the good parts about me, and not what they've decided to focus on. That's really what I'd like. I don't like to let go of relationships that meant/mean a lot to me. Even if it is sometimes necessary.
