    No Uninteresting Things

    Abandoned Building at the Old Sugar Factory in Loveland

    “My creative process begins when I get out with the camera and interact with the world. A camera is truly a license to explore. There are no uninteresting things.” – Jerry Uelsmann

    My Little Pony

    My Little Pony and Pokemon Characters

    Loved the light so I moved in close for a shot. After taking the shot I had to ask my grandson what these guys were. The figurine on the left is My Little Pony and the other one is a Pokemon character. Of course, you all knew that, right?

    The figurines were not what I saw first but the early morning light and shadows was. Not sure when things sifted and I began to see the light and then look for a subject to go with it. Both light and shadows call to me and I hope I will always listen to those calls.

    The Girls

    The Girls

    “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” 

    Albert Einstein

    Found these beauties outside my condo on the pond. I am thankful I have a bit of nature so close.

    Ayala’s Quiche

    Quiche

    I just happened to be in Cuppy’s Coffee Shop the other day when Ayala was just getting her spinach quiche out of the oven. It not only looks good but tastes good. Her quiche is not the only thing on the menu as there are gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads. Besides quiche she also bakes knish and apple strudel. Knish which consists of a filling covered with dough that is either baked, grilled, or deep fried. She normally fills hers with potatoes and cheese or potatoes, cheese and spinach. If eating is not on your priority list then Krista or Michelle or one of the other baristas will gladly make your favorite latte or smoothie while you enjoy the ambiance they offer.

    Dreamer

    Dreamer

    “One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon- instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our window today.” – Dale Carnegie

    Many of our dreams, and those we’ve yet to see, take us to some other place and time. We are no longer present except in body. But just dreaming about them will not give them birth. It is our responsibility to take action and make them reality. Whatever fearful steps we take will reveal the roses.
