Still waiting for those Eclipse film images to be developed.  So a “Throw Back” to Art Night out, which I never published because I thought I might do more shooting at a subsequent event.  As things go, I never got back to another Art Night; just a very busy summer……. Here are the most interesting…

We view the Prairie Sentinels at the Cedar Creek Wind Farm: They are located near Pawnee Buttes, out in the northeastern plains of Colorado.  An effective collaboration between ranchers and renewable energy.  That’s why I particularly like the bails of hay scattered among the Windmills. On previous visits we only got this close (above); But…

The Return from Denver International Airport.  On the ride out, I sat on the west side of the train.  Returning to Denver, I sat on the east side of the train to get a different view.  The east side was definitely more interesting. The long escalator from the Plaza back to the Train Station. Above:…

A week ago we went on an AARP sponsored ‘pub crawl’ and behind the scenes tour in Ft Collins, CO.  We’ve been meaning to go to Ft Collins’ Old Town, but hadn’t made it, although we often drive through on our way to other places.  So when I got the email invitation I decided that…

It’s getting a little political in here, as we review the best of 3 rolls from the Earth Day March for Science.  As I scientist I was there to defend science, so that’s my perspective.  We need more science not less! The Marchers Remember that Louis Pasteur was not trying to preserve milk.  He was…

Taking up the Barn Project this week…….where we set out to preserve the last remnants of rural life in Boulder County.

A few more images from My Schrödinger’s Kit, this time testing the Flash: Featuring my two Boys, Andy and Donald………..(Andy’s the dog) And wrapping up with a couple of textures: Cottonwood have such interesting and varied bark.

I’m introducing my Schrödinger’s Kit.  That mystery camera I had mentioned in my 2017 Plans.  So what is a  Schrödinger’s Kit you ask? (Full credit here to TPINAC) Why did I NEED this camera?  Need is a ridiculous question to ask a photographer, especially hobbiests, who often tote around more gear than professionals…… Introducing a new Camera to…

Still Catching Up, So I’ll have two posts this week and next. So for today something a little different:  A Camera Test.  We’d heard that people had some success buying cameras online from Goodwill.  I forget where my husband came across this.  But we said, why not look?  So for I believe $25 we bought…
