    Dusting of Snow
    Dusting of Snow

    Awoke to a lite dusting of snow and a temperature of 30 degrees. With such nice weather the past few days we can be lulled into forgetting it is December with the Winter Solstice only a week away. Hope you have a great day and stay warm.

    An Apple

    The Apple
    The Apple

    “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” Dorothea Lange

    As Eric and walked through the Behavioral Science Building on our way for coffee I noticed this apple sitting on the desk of a couple young girls. I found it intriguing so I asked if I could take a photo and was given permission. I took only one as I was in a hurry and didn’t want to disturb the two girls, after all finals are next week. I was even more intrigued by the image once I loaded it on my computer. Those are are not teeth marks but she seems to have used some tool like a scoop. Eric, as are many who do not have a camera hanging around their neck, commented how he would not have noticed the apple.

    Long Shadows

    Floor Shadows

    This seems to be another image I almost always take when visiting my parents home. It is the tile floor in front of their east facing sliding glass doors. I’m attracted to the long shadows from the hanging blinds. We are expecting a cold front moving into the Front Range tomorrow so along with that will come high winds then cold temperatures for the next three days. Hope you have a great week!

    Free Hersheys

    Hersheys Candy
    Hersheys Candy

    As I walked up to get on the bus I noticed these Hershey candy bars laid out on the rock bench. Were they free? No one was around. I’m well aware that placing chocolate out in the open is a temptation for many people, myself included! But this scene was even more tempting because it was not just a single candy bar but motherload of eight. Now being a compulsive Hersheys candy bar thief I quickly checked around for any eyewitnesses. Seeing no one around I reached for one, knowing very well I was about to take two or more.
    However, something stopped me from taking them. The instant I touched them I began to laugh at the situation. What stopped me and caused me to laugh was discovering they were cleverly “glued” to the rock bench. I took this image then looked to see if I was secretly being watched and quickly got on the bus. I’m still laughing at myself.
