    You never know….

    September 17, 2019
    Approaching Pitkin and Meridian bus stop

    Jay Maisel always says to bring your camera, ‘cause it’s tough to take a picture without it. Pursuant to the above aforementioned piece of the rule book, subset three, clause A, paragraph four would be…use the camera. Put it to your eye. You never know. There are lots of reasons, some of them even good, to just leave it on your shoulder or in your bag. Wrong lens. Wrong light. Aaahhh, it’s not that great, what am I gonna do with it anyway? I’ll have to put my coffee down. I’ll just delete it later, why bother? Lots of reasons not to take the dive into the eyepiece and once again try to sort out the world into an effective rectangle. It’s almost always worth it to take a look. – Joe McNally

    Fortitude

    Runners in the Fortitude Race

    Last weekend they had the third annual Fortitude race in Fort Collins. Unknown to me the route came in front of Mugs coffee shop. These runners are at the 5 mile mark on 10k race. They were about a mile from the finish line which was in the stadium. I loved the shadows these runners are casting in the morning sun.

    Coffee Break

    September 8, 2019
    Coffee break on campus

    Discovered this young lady on break outside the Behavioral Sciences building on campus. I shot this from my hip while walking. Not bad actually. Everything is still green out here but we sure are feeling the heat and noticing some leaves are changing colors.

    I attended our first annual Loveland High School class of 1968 picnic yesterday. We had our 50th last fall so instead of having a big shindig every 5 or 10 years we will try to have these picnics on an annual basis.  I’ve been to all my class reunions and find it good to connect with classmates, catch up on our lives, eat, and play a few old folks games. I was one of the quiet ones in school due to my insecurity. The passing of time and a better knowledge of who I am has changed that. Also, when we take the time to talk to classmates we were not close too, we can find out how insecure they were also, the tragic lives some lived but few knew about. I highly recommend going to them.

    The Tour de Fat

    [ngg src=”galleries” ids=”65″ display=”basic_slideshow”]

    There are some strange people in this world, but you already knew that. And, when you give them a chance to express their weirdness with the Tour de Fat, they will jump on. Tour de Fat is bike-friendly fun for the whole family. They have a parade with some really strange people, live music, sideshows, and non-profit groups combine to make a great outlet for cyclists. It blends environmental stewardship with flat-out joy. These are images from previous years. This years event is this August 31st. I may find my way downtown with my camera and spare battery.
