"Tall Drink of Water"
shuttersisters.com/picturesummer/
This was a good assignment for the day. The temperatures were in the 90s, and I kept an icy glass of water next to me all day just in case the perfect photo op presented itself. The op finally came at sunset. I used the top of my car as a "table."
I apologize for not shooting as much lately but with Summer Vacation coming to a close in a little over a week I've had to focus on finishing my reading assignments. I do have exciting news on the way, though. So stay tuned!
This was one of the McIntosh images I was looking for when I got caught by the skies at Ag Museum. This is a heavier sky on a recent trek.It seems that Jim acquired a wooden tank water wagon for the McIntosh Agricultural Museum. Way back in the latter 1800s, Longmont had an identical wagon with the driver's seat atop to deliver what must have been fresh water. Ditches delivered "dirty" water to agriculture.
I wonder what might have been Longmont's "fresh" water source? Of course, that was when water from the river carried clean, clear water from the Rockies and before modern household products began sterilizing everything in sight. As a youngster, we always drank from mountain streams without a thought. That was before man introduced e-coli and cryptosporidium parvum bacterias to our mountain critters. Would you drink from a stream while wondering what kind of jackass flatlander is up the trail. I'm sure Lefthand Water district uses that "sterilization" concept to remove beavers from their watersheds.
Al Pace was working on an article about an early mountain ditch that determined Colorado water law for Longmont's Observer. Water is Colorado's god and carried about in wagons while it's North Carolina's cloven hooved demon. Dihydro-monoxide! Trump deserves a special glass of Carolina, Duke and Smithfield water, assuming he could quit his soda pop binge for something "special if he wants to try out his air and water policies!"
Otherwise in the Rockies, beavers are Mother Nature's best water reclamation and preservation engineers. If a trickle in the hills crosses barren land, enlist a beaver! That will regrow natural mountain riparian habitat. It's not nice to fool Mother Nature! That's another concept modern American brains can't acquire. People remark at the variety of trees at Thompson, Chicago philanthropist who started the Longmont Colony, and other Longmont parks. Longmont women planted hardwood trees in parks and brought water uphill from the St. Vrain River below the bluff, to water their newly planted trees. At least they originated a balance to all the cottonwoods in the valley. That was a real ongoing project that would interfere with modern cell phone time!

A composite. Originals were processed in DXO Optics Pro. I used Topaz ReMask to isolate the biker, Topaz Lens Effects to add a little panning blur to the wall and Topaz Impression to add some 'Fading Away' effect. Merged in Topaz photoFXlabs with finishing touches added in ACDSee Pro.
I shot the wall in 2011 behind the Highland Square Theater and the biker in 2012 on West Market St. on the Square.

We’re getting our first multi-day heat, for the next 3-4 days. People are planning ways to live with it- including going to cooling places (library, police/fire station, community center), and visiting the lake. AC and fans help.

Street candid taken in Glasgow, Scotland. I captured this on 1st August during my first trip into town for many weeks since a setback in my ankle surgery recovery. I could only manage a short stint in Glasgow and owe many thanks to my partner for offering to caddy my gear for me.
Climbing the 892 ft. Bear Mountain in Felton, CA in 90-degree heat requires plenty of water, whether you're a steam engine or human hiking the hill. In this frame, the fireman on Roaring Camp & Big Trees' Heisler #2 "Tuolumne" fills the water cistern on his locomotive from the tank adjacent to the passenger depot, before taking the B-section of the 10:30 AM departure up the hill. Although this might not be the best angle to show off the watering operation, I chose it because of the wild-looking redwood tree in the background. Although it may not be the healthiest tree in this forest, it sure was the most interesting one that I saw during my 3 days at this railroad.
This photo was taken early in the morning when it was foggy.
I think we were able to take some very impressive photos.
However, since insects move, you can only photograph them handheld.
If possible, I would like to use a tripod to take photos.
These hummocks of grass edge away from the bank of the St. Vrain River. I saw and really liked the composition while jockeying for wet scenes. It almost looks like an ant set to drift in the water. It sort of continues the minimal detritus series. Autumn is failing in December but we are blessed by climate deniers with days in the 60s. Whoops, today was a down day at just over 55 degrees. That after nearly logging 70 yesterday. It's going to get so hot around here that even orange hair will start to slide off empty noggins. In days past, this river used to supply agriculture but we can import all that.
I parked at Roger's Grove on Hover Road and set out for a couple mile stroll toward the pedestrian bridge over the river. A mile previously and a couple on this day. A fly fisherman I named F.I. Sherman, was plying the waters directly downstream for some reason. It's way better fishing up in the Rocky hills.
I guess that this is another piece of Prairie Art (as good as it gets) series. This is a bigly tribute series to prairie state landscapes and orange insects. I did get in another great walk, if spoiled by December dead stuff.
I made no mistake of wearing my jacket and suffering. I left the jacket behind and was glad for it. I think that we can safely call it "Orangeman" global warming by now. We are Colorado and want snow, climate doofs! noun: trumpery; plural noun: trumperies -- attractive (orange) articles of little value or use. I hope he values the Russian Mafia over the Sicilian crowd when they come to collect. Russia has 'different' bankruptcy laws from Sicily while neither has lenient laws. Don't lenient on broken kneecaps.
