Interstate 76 / Brush / Morgan County / Colorado
It was getting late. We were tired and I wasn't too picky about eats. Behind me was a Subway Sandwich shop within the convenience store, and they served up a pretty bland sandwich. The sole customer leaving the convenience store was holding her beloved Chihuahua, his name was Hector.
Near Gakona, Alaska. Mount Sanford making a subtle appearance in the background.
I wanted to take this photo to symbolize how we connect with nature when we put ourselves out in it for long enough. I also wanted to use the tree line projecting from the camera lens in the center to symbolize that when you're out in places like this, it doesn't matter how many photos you take, it still only shows a fraction of what is really around you. The photographs we take are a nice showcase, but you can only really take in nature when you go out there yourself, and when you do, you'll connect with your surroundings. I hope this makes sense to anyone.
To clear up any confusion: No, no editing was used to clear up the trees "projecting" from the camera lens. I'm really not well versed in photoshop or anything. Multiple exposures and careful framing, folks!
One last glance - our last night at the parks is always full of emotions and we stay until as late as we can. The very last thing we do it take one last look at the Castle as we walk down Main Street and we say "see ya real soon"
The entire Tree of Life is amazing; from it's sheer size to the multitude of all the sculptures/carvings on its trunk. The owl is one of my favorites.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!
Strauss Veal Feeds had a nice fleet of these Mack R models delivering their products. Milwaukee, Wis July 1991.
The Persian Gulf (Kuwait)
Taken the day before Christmas near the parliament building of Kuwait. That day was extra special for taking photos because my kids were with me. It was fun and hard at the same time managing to keep my camera safe and driving the bicycle - while holding my little boy in front and my little girl at the back! whew! guess that's how it is for dads who love photography :)))

In coastal North Carolina, the summers can be absolutely stifling. With temperatures steadily in the upper 90s and humidity levels to match, just moving through the day can prove difficult. Three changes of clothing per day are not unheard of.
It's no surprise that we usually flee the state late in the season, heading up to New England to camp and hike.
As we travel from NC toward New England, each day brings progressively cooler temperatures. Like stepping into a walk-in refrigerator, the relief is palpable, and we breathe a little easier for every degree of latitude we gain.
Two days into our drive north in 2010, we stumbled onto Hammonasset Beach State Park in Connecticut. It was surprisingly nice given its proximity to large metro areas, and if we had more time in the schedule, we would have stayed an extra couple of nights.
Early one morning, I rolled out of the tent to find the sunrise bouncing through a fog bank that had rolled off of Long Island Sound. The grasses were wet with dew, and the local wildlife was just getting started for the day.
It has been dastardly hot in NC for this time of year. Through late May and into this early in June, we're already breaking temperature records with highs of around 98. I felt I needed a little relief from the weather (and from posting farm and garden shots!), so I dragged this one out of the archives as a reminder -- an incentive to get through the upcoming summer months.

They seemed to be just waiting for me to record their stories!
This capture is the "Forgotten Ones" that are a treasure for me to find.
Just a quick shot taken on the Northwestern campus in the Gold Coast where Victoria had just recently graduated from. It was brutally hot out and as such I only had 5 minutes to shoot her.

Burlington Northern XWP3555N, all four units are Western Pacific units, going around the big curve at Malin, OR going to Klamath Falls, OR on the afternoon of October 9, 1982. At this time just before the Union Pacific took total control of the Western Pacific in December 1982 there was only one train a day each way on the Western Pacific/Burlington Northern tracks between Keddie, CA on the Western Pacific and Klamath Falls, OR on the Burlington Northern.
I just posted interior and exterior shots of this really unusual out building. There is a one-time door in the back corner and I wonder if Ramey used this to bring dairy cows in for milking. Across the way, Broley was a dairy farm. I have posted the old Longmont Creamery image and I wonder if that was the target of Ramey milk. I see that the door latch was long gone from this shot. I expect that this property became unprofitable some time early on even though there were no gravel pits on the land. It's all pit now.
The wall in this shot is the back corner of the interior wall on the left. It certainly appears to be a different building in the two previous shots. This is something I did not expect and just found after a few trips out. The floods were hardly slowed by this wall when the flood hit on this side. Leaky walls also account for the Broley barn being little more than cleaned up. I always look at the Ramey farm house and stone back house for their appeal but got interested by the sheds north across another fissure. I still wonder if the stone house were the uoriginal dwelling. The Ramey story is becoming ever more intriguing to me. It would be amazing if anything could be learned about the farm life out here. Just south of here, Hygiene Road carried travelers and wagons to the Foothils Highway where there is a good connection to Jamestown, Gresham up James Creek and the small mining camps up Lefthand all the way to Ward. Here, they could pasture and keep stock for feeding the mining camps.
These sheds were already rebuilt before the floods and now they are on their last legs. BoCo rescued the sheds but I guess their efforts are for naught now. I have no idea why the county decided to prop the old sheds. The out buildings are not so good after the river washed through and undercut them. I think back to the working days of the farm and wonder how busy and productive the Ramey place might have been?
Find several shots of Ramey in a photeoset. On this day, I parked at the Broley gate and walked down to Ramey. Apparently, the water streamed up to 4 feet high over Ramey. The pond south of Broley overflowed everywhere including Ramey after the floods cut through the gravel pits around Broley and sliced through 61st Street and rejoined the original St.Vrain.
There are piles of detritus laying about in what was left of the pastures. Some folks are convinced the river ought to be moved back to some of its original, some places empty, course. Darwin should chime in on that idea; he allowed forebears to make a mess of it in the first place. The farmers are screaming about rebuilding ditches before spring. Have at it guys. The bridge, roads and private holdings are still going to require some serious work. Today they were working on the dirt road south of Broley but I instead walked the river route..
The only other identifiable building apart from the tower, is the one towards the bottom left of this photo. It is away from the other principal buildings of the farm because the circular hollow at the near end was a kiln, used for drying corn, and it would therefore have produced a lot of smoke.
We were out on our Narrow boat and having moored up for the night I walked down the line of boats. On the front of one I saw this delightful little chap sitting in a plant pot. I couldn’t resist taking the shot especially as I was trying out my new Fujifilm 16mm f1.4. What a cracking lens it is.
I was in town (Philly) and about to take a photo of the building across the street when this fellow said, "Hey, you tryin' to take my picture? Let's do this right. Get ready and I'll start walking." Then he displayed his Eagles shirt and I snapped the shot. And he just kept on walking. You gotta love this guy!
I forgot all about taking the photo of the building. :o)
I have been tagged many times to do the 'What's in your purse?' photo, but I (being the neat freak that I am) take everything out of my purse every time I use it. I also don't often use a normal purse; I usually use something that can easily fit a few books, a water bottle, and a small camera bag inside. ;) I also switch bags out very frequently, so the items in my bag change all the time.
So instead, here are a few things that are currently/always on my desk. Simple photo for today.
By the way, Happy Mother's Day to moms everywhere!
Came across this perfect setting of nature when we were touring in Wilpaththu early 2015. One of the magical & stunning encounters witnessed ever.
