ghost truck

This is one of the images (captured on a trip in 2007) I’m taking to this weekend’s show. I wonder if anyone will find the old Dodge as interesting as I did.  I was warned that a very large bull would not be happy with me “out there” photographing the truck, but the bull did not appear so I came home alive with the image.

I titled the print ‘back to nature’, but today’s date calls for a spookier name.

I won’t be waiting for the children (who never come) trick or treating at my house tonight. I’ll be setting up my display in the Canyon Room of the middle school in Bailey. If you are in the area this weekend, stop by and say hello.

Holiday Extravaganza  (I pronouce it “extraaavaganza”)
November 1 & 2
9 am to 4 pm
Fitzsimmons Middle School (South of Bailey on U.S. 285. Um, I think it’s actually west of Bailey. Anyway, if you are coming from southpark take 285 north and stop at the school before you get to Bailey. If you are coming from Denver, take 285 south and go through Bailey and find the school about 3 or so miles beyond. It’s easy to find, really!)

Autumn Snow

Leave a reply

I’ve been busy printing and framing for two November shows. Yesterday morning I resisted the urge to go out in the snow to photograph and captured this scene through the window before getting back to work. The snow was not too deep for a delivery truck to bring some replacement inks for the printer in the late afternoon. Much of the snow will melt today.

Each autumn I marvel at the seeds of mountain mahogany. The feathery part curls and straightens with changes in humidity. When the seed is on the ground it digs itself in with the curling action.

Autumn Hiking on the Colorado Trail at Kenosha Pass

3 Replies

This may be the most beautiful week of the year.  I hiked a few miles out and back on the Colorado Trail from the west side of Kenosha Pass with a side trip down an old road in a high meadow on the return. 

I love the views of South Park from this trail.

The leaves are fantastic this year.

The side trip on the old overgrown road into the meadow was worth the view (above). I’ve snowshoed this road before, but this was my first time down into the meadow in warm weather.

 Hiking a quiet trail in autumn sunshine may be the best relief to be had from financial news and politics.

I think I’ll go again tomorrow.
