    “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Wayne Gretzky

    Mr. Gretsky was referring to hockey shots while I’m referencing it to photographs. I’ve come to believe more and more that images do present themselves. This young lady sat at one of the tables on the patio at a local coffee shop. I noticed her brightly colored hat and quickly went through the process of determining how I would compose an image. I then needed to ask her if I could take a photo of her bright hat. So, I needed the courage to ask her and then compose this image. One shot is all I took.

    “If you pass by the color of purple in a field and don’t notice it, God gets real pissed off.” Alice Walker

    Yesterday was a cold morning that warmed up nicely into the low 60s. So, a walk in Od Town was in order. I was not the only one there. Here are some images from the day.

    I changed a couple of things

    Sorry if you got lost and found my blog page blank. I’m juggling a few things around on this website in anticipation of adding to this website. I originally had a Home page with a slide show of the same images that are also in my galleries. I’m questioning why have both? So, I decided to remove the home page slide show and make the blog page the home page. So, if your RSS feeder is looking for my blog page it will be blank. You will need to change that feeder to this url.

    What started all this was the positive remarks I was seeing about Squarespace. Since my hosting service at BlueHost was expiring in April I decided to give it their 14-day free trial. I do like the simplicity of their templates on Squarespace. However, I’ve discovered that WordPress and my Photocrati theme is directed more towards photographers. It suits me better.

    “So you’re a little weird? Work it! A little different? OWN it! Better to be a nerd than one of the herd!”

    Had some short time with my two granddaughters this past week. Grabbed a couple of improvised photos. I have no idea where they get their silliness. Must be their mothers.

    Reading During the Retirement Years
    Well, he was reading.

    I came back to cold Colorado yesterday. Spent the last four days with my parents in warm Phoenix. My dad celebrated his 85th birthday on the 17th. Not much hoopla as this time in their lives is spent relaxing. It was 15 degrees this morning and expected to be in the upper 40’s this afternoon.

    A Beautiful Woman

    The Beautiful Cynthia
    Cynthia

    One of the perks of my job is working with awesome flight crews. This past week had an extra perk, I worked with this beautiful woman. Not only do I think she is beautiful but she offers passengers a wonderful smile, a sense of humor and a feeling of safety. I enjoyed working with you, Cynthia. And, hopefully we’ll get a chance to work together again.
