Almost everyone has a cell phone. It may not be a smart phone but it will make calls. This image demonstrates that. Heck the man had his laptop open on his lap.

One More Portrait
Sheri “The strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes.” ― C. JoyBell C

The Beautiful Sheri
Sheri at the Gate Spent a couple of hours last Saturday with my friend Sheri in Old Town. I bought her coffee then lunch, took a bunch of photos and had a wonderful time with her. Thanks, Sheri!

I’ll Bring the Beer
ODells Brewery Truck Well, more snow expected for tomorrow, 3-5 inches. Anyone down south, or a place without snow, have a couch I can sleep on for the next couple nights? I’ll bring you some ODells for you.

City Lights
The Lights of Fort Collins It was 28 degrees as I stood along the dam at Horestooth Reservoir at 6:54 pm. I had this impulse to drive up there and get in a few night shots of the lights of Fort Collins. Of course the wind decided to blow so any sharp images was impossible and went right through my pants. It is the same location as this self-portrait I made this past summer. I do not have many images like this in my archives and learned a couple of things. I need to wear wind pants next time. 🙂

We Need the Rain
High Park Fire I apologize for the quality of this image but I want to post it anyway. It is my attempt at showing the size of this fire. I am probably 20-25 miles from the High Park Fire that has been burning since last Saturday morning. It is located just west of Fort Collins along the foothills. Here is a bit of information about the fire. The fire is burning and has burned all the area from about an inch on either side of this image. Here is a link to some better images.
The fire has now burned 52,000 acres. They are using nine helicopters and fixed-winged aircraft and over 1,300 fire fighters along with the help of the National Guard. Over 100 structures have burned – 48 of those being hones. In the above image you can see rain clouds on the left. However, this thunder cell created downdrafts, not rain, which stirred up embers that jumped the Poudre River at Stevens Gulch and is heading towards the Glacier View Meadows Neighborhood. Not good. We so need the rain!

… rapt in awe.
Sunrise at Arapahoe Bend Nature Area. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this “emotion” is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder, or stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. His eyes are closed.

First Ice Cream
First Ice Cream I found these young children enjoying their first ice cream of the season in Old Town in Fort Collins. Temperatures were in the low 50’s yesterday so lots of people were in shorts, shirt sleeves, riding bicycles, and eating ice cream.
