Mason Reservoir…well, almost
We tried to make it to Mason Reservoir today, but were denied at the very end of a 12-mile journey down a twisting dirt road. The darn gate was closed! We were disappointed for sure. Stopped at Victor on the way back and I snagged some peanut butter cookies from Gold Camp Bakery–hands down the …
Winter Park and North Catamount Reservoir – Aug-Sep 2018
We took a trip to Georgetown and Idaho Springs this weekend and stayed in Winter Park. Only a couple hours away, but traffic was heavy heading out. As luck would have it, the Aspen trees were just starting to turn colors and it was magnificent. I forgot to post photos from our trip to North …
Salida , CO – Aug 2018
We took at late-starting day trip to Salida, CO. I was pretty sure we would not make the full 2-1/2 hour drive, but figured we’d see some pretty scenery before turning back. Well, an hour out from the city, there was no way I was going to turn back! Happy we toughed it out. Cute …
Rampart Reservoir, Aug 2018
Rampart Reservoir is about an hour and 15 minutes from my new home in Colorado Springs. Kimberly and I had a picnic on some of the large rocks on the shore. It’s been a while since I’ve taken some landscapes, so I brought my trusty Nikon D750. I really prefer it’s colors for landscapes over …
LA Trip: Big Bear Spartan Race and Mountains
Well, it’s been a while since my last post…been busy relocating to Colorado Springs! Took a short trip right after the move to LA to be with my daughter, Taylor. She was out there to help with the Spartan Race in Big Bear, conveniently, right near my home in Lake Arrowhead. I was totally unprepared …
Yellow Garden Orb-Weaver spider
A friend of Kimberly’s had one of these babys on their home and I had to take a couple photos. It’s a yellow garden orb-weaver. Supposedly not poisonous, but the sheer size is enough to frighten you to death! The whole thing was probably 3+ inches big.
There’s a new pug in town…actually two.
On our way back from the Block Creek B&B, we had to stop at Blackbird Antiques in Comfort, TX to visit Karen Frias, the owner, and her pugs. She always has interesting antiques, home decor, bedding and other treasures. Sadly her original pugs, Molly, Hudson and Eddie, have all passed on, but there’s a new …
Block Creek B&B: A little bit of heaven
Kimberly and I took a spur of the moment trip to the Block Creek Bed and Breakfast located half way between Fredericksburg and Comfort, TX. I didn’t think I would be able to find anything at the last minute, but the gods were with us and this gem just kinda popped-up. The reviews were all …
Nebraska/Iowa Trip
Kimberly took me up to Nebraska/Iowa to meet her family. It was my first trip up to that part of the country and I had a wonderful time. Her family is just great. Spring hadn’t arrived yet, so it was pretty brown and overcast for most of the trip. There still were a few hints …
