Awoke early, which is becoming way to common, 3:00 is just too early. Now at Bindles with one of their mochas that had my name on it. Sunrise was beautiful on my drive over here. Expecting to reach 70 degrees again today then back to cold and wet days. Could even see below freezing night temperatures.
Have been working on a couple of projects with my photography and my writing. One is a new photo book with a theme on Colorado horizons. I believe I’ve mentioned how many of my images are taken east of the mountains rather than in the mountains. I seem more attracted to wide open scenes of the eastern plains. So, I’ve begun a book with just horizons and will add some verbiage about my thoughts on horizons. This book is personal project for myself so one copy may be all I have printed.
The second project is also a book. This one is my recollection of the stories and experiences in my life to pass along to my children and grandchildren. The first page will have facts about me, dates and names and places. But, the rest of the book will be the facts and my fading memories of events blended into their own story. I want my children and grandchildren to read these stories of what I remember of my youth, how my parents raised me, those events that have made me who I am, how those events affected how I see and think of this world. I’m also including a few old photos of the past. I guess you can call it a legacy, an autobiography. Finding working on both of them fun and thus why I’m waking up throughout the might to write stuff down.
