In Estes Park, Colorado, there is a river walk that includes a tunnel. The entrance and exit of this tunnel are lined with ceramic tiles decorated by local school children. This one is particularly amusing: As you can see, the kid in the middle just wants ‘Whirled Peas’. ~P Make me famous:
No, sorry – that’s not Treebeard. What that is, I can’t say. Other than weird. Pucker up? I snapped this photo at a tourist attraction in Manitou Springs, Colorado – the Cliff Dwellings. Cool place. Weird tree. The sign hanging from it reads as: The Ponderosa Pine! …with Mister Potato Head features… ~P Make...
This photo was taken with the same point and click camera I mentioned in last week’s Photo Friday. In this case, I was further south near Colorado Springs. Yes, I was on a mountain, and I was looking down from a decent overhang when I decided to snap this shot. I keep trying to...
This is an oldie but a goodie. I took this photo years ago using a point and click camera that I can’t find today. No idea what happened to it after we moved into the house. It’s just gone. I suppose it could be in a box that I marked ‘storage’ or something. Oh...

Mom likes to have a real angel on the top of the tree each year. Here she is: I shot this up close. I wanted to get her when she was lit up. Kinda ended up with a creepy effect. Anyway, Merry Christmas! ~P Make me famous:
I like to play with my camera. Really, it’s the only way to learn how to do stuff with it. There was a cool photo that I really liked, of the lights hanging in downtown Littleton. It was done by playing with exposure times while moving the camera forward slowly. Got me thinking. This...
“…my name…is…UNICRON!” Okay, his name is NOT Unicron. It’s Dakota. I tend to call him ‘Bud’. It took me several tries to get this shot, because I really wanted the red-eye effect. What I got was an orangey-eye effect and a cat that was ready for me to stop shoving the camera in his...
You’re sitting at your desk trying to – what? Write? Make a podcast? Something like that? And your mind just isn’t focused on the task at hand. If you’re like me, this means that you start to doodle. Cleaning my desk this weekend, I realized I had accumulated quite the collection of little drawings...
Cats have one major weakness: The Sunbeam. Nothing like a morning cat face, am I right? I joke about how he wakes me up every morning, which he does. But his motivation is always to get me out of the bed so he can have it to himself. Along with the sunbeam… ~P Make...
