    Waiting on the Bus
    Waiting on the Bus

    I took several images of this young student waiting for the bus at the transit center on campus. At first I thought she was reading the college newspaper that’s in her hand but realized she was on her phone. She came and sat down behind me on the rock bench oblivious to much of her surroundings. I do not believe she was aware of me so I was able to take a half dozen shots. Nor can she hear anything around her.  As I watched, it dawned on me she was sitting where they had glued those chocolate candy bars that I posted an image of a few weeks ago. They’ve removed the candy bars but the glue is still there and it’s tacky. I had to smile because I am very much like her in that I can get lost in my thoughts or my phone and not be present to the moment.

    Poudre River in Winter
    Poudre River in Winter

    Every day, priests minutely examine the Law
    And endlessly chant complicated sutras.
    Before doing that, though, they should learn
    How to read the love letters sent by the wind and rain,
    The snow and moon.

    Cloudy and overcast skies this morning. Looking and feeling like winter, probably because it is. A few snowflakes could be seen on my walk to the bus stop. I thought, sorry, there I go again thinking, I could add to the wintery mood if I converted this image to black and white. They, those weather guys, say we are only going to reach the low 20’s today. I’ve decided to NOT wear my sandals, so my biggest decision for the day has been made. I’m now at the Lory Student Center to read and write. Will meet a good friend for brunch later. Have a super Awesome week!

    Lost Horizon

    Fog and light snow at Lake Loveland
    Fog and light snow at Lake Loveland

    This image is from 2011 and was taken on the west side of Lake Loveland. The fog and light snow created a scene with seemingly no horizon. It is a simple image that I converted to black and white. Our weather forecast is for a 30% chance of light rain and snow both today and Monday. Right we’re at 17 degrees and overcast skies. Hope your having a great weekend.

    Trees at Sunset
    Trees at Sunset

    This was taken 5 years ago and is a pair of favorite trees I visited a lot. I have not been there for quite some time and wonder how they would look now. Good grief, we are less than a week away from Christmas.  It is coming up too fast. I noticed we are expecting to have a bit of cooler weather for Christmas. They say snow Thursday through Saturday then single digit temperatures at night for the next 5 days. Brrr!
