    I Got It All Done

    Georgia Mud Fudge

    What a beautiful day  we had yesterday. Bright blue skies, a brisk wind from the west and temperatures around 50 degrees. It was a busy day, doctors appointment in the morning, the never ending laundry and packing, grocery shopping, trip to Kinkos, bills needed paid and a a DQ blizzard needed consumed. I tried a new flavor I had never heard of before called a Georgia Mud Fudge. It’s made with chewy baked brownie pieces, cocoa fudge, vanilla soft serve and Georgia pecans. Even though it was a busy day, I got it all done. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

    The Red and Yellow Bench

    Benches. They’re everywhere. Parks. Bus stops. Peoples front yards. Hotel lobbies. Airports. Train stations. Churches. I must admit I’m one of the many photographers who finds benches as an interesting subject and has a few archived on our drives. Yep, I’m one of them.

    The Knowledge Giver

    The Knowledge Giver

    The city of Loveland, Colorado has been involved with sculptures for several years now. They yearly host a show called Sculpture in the Park. The city has also created a park on the north side of Lake Loveland called the Benson Sculpture Park sponsored by the Loveland High Plains Art Council. I’ve posted images from this park previously. But the sculptures are not just in the park. We can find them in all areas of the city. I found this wise man just outside the Public Library. His title is ‘The Knowledge Giver” and was done by SethVandable.

    Spring Snow

    April 20, 2011

    Last Thursday morning we received about an inch of snowfall, one of those wet Spring snows that soaks the ground. I arose early in anticipation of the snowfall and headed for Lake Loveland. I parked on the west side of the lake and shot towards the east looking out across an unseen horizon. I was not pleased with the white balance, nor could I find what I liked, so I processed it in black and white. Worked for me. The second image is straight from the camera.

    Reeds in Ice

    Yesterday, I posted an image of golden sunlight on prairie grass. That image was taken in the summer while this image was taken during winter. What a difference color temperature makes with the feel of a scene.

    One of My Favorites

    April 9, 2011
    Golden Grass

    Even though it really does not matter, I wish I could remember where I took this image. The meta date lets me know I took this image in 2005. I also do not remember what compelled me to  take this image. Something within me was asking to press the shutter. I think what I saw was the back lighting of the scene and from the technical aspect I wanted to capture that. For me, the golden light brings out the warmth of that June morning. It has become one of my favorite images.
