    Umbrellas in Hotel Lobby

    Armstrong Hotel Lobby
    Armstrong Hotel Lobby

    I had coffee at Mugs in Old Town this past Sunday morning. Even added a bagel and cream cheese so it was an even better morning. As I stood up to leave I noticed these umbrellas in the Armstrong Hotel lobby through the shared window/wall. So, I went next door and asked to take a few images of the umbrellas and the chair in the lobby. Pretty sure this will look familiar to Tom as this is where he and Kathy stayed while visiting Fort Collins. I chose black and white because the chair and umbrellas are black. It just seemed to fit the mood.

    I could not find a parking permit on the cart but it was parked as if it had one.

    Free Concert in Old Town

    While in Old Town Square this past weekend I came upon this father and his daughter in concert. They were blowing on this kazoo sort thingies. He was playing the piano and she was pounding the keys, totally oblivious to everyone around them. It was awesome. Well, to be honest they could use a little more practice together. 🙂

    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. 🙂

    Yes, I’m a morning person. But, I have three children and four grandchildren who are not. Their loss.

    It Was a Scorcher

    Shadows are following you
    Shadows are following you

    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.

    Spent time in Old Town area for a ĺook at the lights. My hands were cold by the time I returned home. But, made a hot chocolate as the images downloaded. All is good.
