My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. Rainer Maria Rilke
Snow stated falling sometime after midnight. It’s a beautiful heavy wet snow and a lot more than expected. I measured my sidewalk a few minutes ago and have 9 inches rather than the 1-3 inches predicted. The wind has also been blowing and gusting making for blizzard conditions. Schools have closed. Busses have stopped. Libraries have closed. Not really unusual for this time of the year in Colorado.
I found this young man sound asleep on Monday while walking through the Lory Student Center. Must have been a need to recuperate from Spring Break. Seeing him made my day. Stay warm.
The temperature rose above 40 degrees yesterday. After more than a week of high temperatures below freezing and nighttime temperatures in the single digits, people were out without jackets, riding bicycles and spending Christmas gift certificates. I just happened to be out on the streets of Old Town with my X-E1 and the 27mm lens. People casting shadows are what I found.
Found this young lady engrossed in her studies at a local coffeehouse. Finals are this week so you will see this all over town. I liked how she was sitting in the ray of sunlight. I spot metered on her and shot in black and white. This is a jpeg file right out of the camera.
… at her favorite coffeehouse. This image was taken Saturday at a favorite coffeehouse. I just love the lighting on her face and her expression. It was just beginning to snow, bringing us about 4 inches of accumulation. Sunday morning was cold. It was 14 degrees by the time I walked to the coffeehouse. A fresh snowfall is so beautiful as nature takes on it’s winter artistry. Stay warm!
… at the bus stop.
Buy a good pair of comfortable shoes, have a camera around your neck at all times, keep your elbows in, be patient, optimistic and don’t forget to smile. – Matt Stuart
