This image is about color, but also nature. It could be argued that they are one in the same. Do well today.

This is one of those scenes that make me nostalgic for Colorado. I love a big valley in the mountains. We don’t get that here in Indiana. We have gullies. Nothing wrong with them. It’s just a matter of scale. In this image we’re looking northwest and can see US36 winding its way from Lyons… Continue reading Tied together now

I see my room, my family, friend down the street, my school classroom. I had a radio. These kids have phones. I had favorite… Continue reading My favorite songs

I went to visit Pat when he lived there. We rode the trains. Uptown, downtown, out of town. Seeing the sights. That day we went to the park. I imagined being there to see the gates, but we were a year or two late.

I took this picture twenty years ago with my Olympus camera. That was back when I was documenting all the neighborhoods of Longmont and this particular one was called Prospect New Town. The houses were expensive and very close together. I guess if it were a summertime scene we wouldn’t see any houses, only a… Continue reading Expensive and close

One of my favorite subjects is the Westwood Branch Basin Forest. It’s on the west side of the condo and we are its caretakers. There is always a downed branch, a fallen tree or an overgrown wild honeysuckle or grape vine that needs cut up, cut down, chopped down, burned up or otherwise cleaned up… Continue reading I work at it
