“When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in you.” Chief Tecumseh

Quieter Momnet
Mid-morning light casting shadows at the Lory Student Center “Rushing, rushing, rushing. We are always rushing.”
There is no better place to watch people rushing than on campus between classes. This is one of the quieter moments at the entrance to Lory Student Center. I had gone to meet with a friend.

Voice of the cotton tree
Cottonwood trees at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal “Perhaps you have noticed that even in the slightest breeze you can hear the voice of the cotton tree; this we understand is its prayer to the Great Spirit, for not only men, but all things and all beings pray to Him continually in different ways.”

The Kingdom of Possibilities
Sunset on Timnath Reservoir “In the harbor of the creative mind lies a universe where perspective is limited only by the winds of imagination, and where the sun never sets on the kingdom of possibility.” Anne Scottlin

Favorite ice cream flavor is…
A bicycle on the streets in Richmond, Virginia “Until you got ice cream spilled on you, you’re not doing field work.” Randy Pausch
This image is also from 2010 while on an overnight in Richmond. It really is a busy image. But it brings up a memory for me from just one word in the image. I’ll always remember when my granddaughter told me her favorite ice cream flavor was red. No need to argue with her. 🙂

Waiting at the bus stop
Waiting for the bus at the Transit Center “Photography is a medium of formidable contradictions. It is both ridiculously easy and almost impossibly difficult. It is easy because its technical rudiments can readily be mastered by anyone with a few simple instructions. It is difficult because, while the artist working in any other medium begins with a blank surface and gradually brings his conception into being, the photographer is the only imagemaker who begins with the picture completed. His emotions, his knowledge, and his native talent are brought into focus and fixed beyond recall the moment the shutter of his camera has closed.” Edward Steichen
