This past weekend I spent in Colorado Springs at a conference. During a break I walked around the hotel hoping something would catch me eye. This is what I was given, simple and common.

Where’s the Sand?
The Sand Pail Someone seems to have lost interest in their sand pail. Just thought it might be be due to lack of sand here in Colorado. 🙂 Found along Fisher Nature Trail.

Yes, new growth
“Outdoors we are confronted everywhere with wonders;
Wendell Berry
we see that the miraculous is not extraordinary
but the common mode of existence.”I hope your week is filled with wonder, love, peace, happiness and signs of Spring.!

Places for Study
Morgan Library Lory Student Center provides a place to eat, lounge, 3 coffee shops, book store and places to study for the students. This is one of those small alcoves with chairs and couches for study time. I am standing at directly behind a couch with one student stretched out and sleeping. 🙂

Windmill at Sunset
Windmill at Sunset on Pawnee National Grasslands Pawnee National Grassland is located in the South Platte River basin in remote northern and extreme northeastern Weld County and comprises two parcels totaling 193,060 acres. It is part of the short grass prairie. Due to poor soil and the Dust Bowl it has not had much agricultural invasion. It’s about a two hour drive from my house and one reason. You can probably understand why I have mainly sunset images rather than sunrises. 🙂 Hope you have a super week!

A Favorite Spot
A Favorite Spot This is an image of one of my favorite spots at Morgan Library to write. I usually arrive at the library around 7:20 then grab a mocha latte at the small coffee shop. For exercise I then walk up stairs to the third floor and over to the east wing. So somewhere around 7:40 I’m sitting at one of the four tables outside the conference rooms.
I have with me my journal, two fountain pens (Lamy Logo in Pearl), my Kindle Paperwhite, maybe a book, my camera and an extra lens. It’s quiet. I love the light. It’s a favorite spot.
