    Family, BBQ and Sunset

    This past Saturday afternoon I went to a BBQ at my oldest daughters home. They grilled up some elk burgers and brats. 🙂 Games were played, children and puppy dogs ran all over the place and lots of laughter was heard.

    Even a swimming pool to enjoy.
    There was not a clean child around.

    Chris and Cody supplied the meat while everyone else was asked to bring a side dish. Well that meant there were too many salads and deserts to fit on one plate so multiple trips to the table were needed. I found this young girl exploring all of the back yard, walking stick in hand.

    As the sun went down I stood along the fence in their backyard with camera in hand and watched the colors. Nature was magically making  art and I had a great front row seat.

    Study-time in the Shade

    Studying in the Shade
    Study-time in the Shade

    If you wander anywhere on campus at Colorado State University you  will find it pretty quiet. That will change on the 21st when classes begin. There are two small coffee shops on campus at the Lory Student Center and another at Morgan Library. They have good prices, catering to the penniless students and me. 🙂 I sat on the balcony and looked out over the square and noticed this student in study time. I assume they are taking summer courses. I converted this in Silver Efex Pro using one of the presets.

    Starbursts Over Coffee and Conversation

    Starbursts
    Starbursts over coffee and conversation

    I just had to shoot this image. There is no theme or real story but I liked the scene. As I walked towards these guys I saw the starburst reflection in the window and knew this was what I wanted. As a bonus I got the second starburst. Happy photographer for a short period of time.

    I have all my appointments setup for surgery and the followup stuff. They have a computer system setup for patients to see what all is going on with medications, appointments, surgery and test results. I created an account this morning. Quite impressed as it has it all. It shows all my doctor appointments, my ER visit and what they did, my upcoming surgery and the surgeons who will be assisting. I’m impressed. I couldn’t see where they had my banking account number but suspect they have it. 🙂

    Sleeping or Praying

    This is finals week at Colorado State University and scenes like this are not uncommon. I wonder if he is a) sleeping b) grateful it’s done, c) praying or d) all the above.
