    We are finally having spring like days. On campus there are students ins jackets and coats as well as those in t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops. It’s now 36 degrees but the suspicious weather apps say it may get up to 70 degrees. I will find time to sit outside today. 

    I’m sometimes uncomfortable when I take images of people when they are not aware. But it is a very good way to catch people as they are in the present moment and not self-conscious because a camera is pointed at them, thinking they need to pose. And,  now a days, texters are easy to find. Happy Friday!

    Students were back in class this past week after having the previous week off for spring break. I took this image yesterday. So, I’m thinking they had beer left over and just continued to party into this week or there were no survivors from spring break. 🙂

    It’s Cold This Morning

    We are cold this morning, -6 at 6:49 am. The sun is shining and we have clear blue skies. I took this image of the bicyclists at about 7:30 as I walked into the Lory Student Center on campus. I find it amazing the courage they have to ride in the cold, snow and icy conditions. Not me! Young people in Colorado don’t seem to mind the cold but I do. That, or I’m a bit wiser. 🙂

    “I didn’t go to kindergarten, so I missed ‘show and tell’ when I was young. I’m making up for it now! I look for essence of the subject and try to show it in a different way, whether it’s Antarctica or a monarch butterfly…” – George Lepp
