Resting at 14,036 Ft... 30 of 365


I spent my Sunday, getting up at 4 AM and driving to the Mosquito Mt Range, near Fairplay, CO. A friend, her co-worker and I then climbed what is supposed to be the easiest 14er in Colorado. If I'm going to do more of these, I sure hope that statement is wrong. Mt. Sherman was a 3 1/2 hour hike for me... lets hope for more of these kinds of pictures next summer.

Smile... 26 of 365


These gents were happy that I was taking their picture. They were joking at first, "take our picture", then got a good laugh when I actually did!

In the Market... 25 of 365


This is the market in Vienna; the fruits and vegetables had such vibrant colors. I could not resist stopping for a brief moment and snapping a shot. Another market I was very impressed with, was of course, on the La Rambla in Barcelona. Bustling and busy and full of life, quiet energetic.

Lamps... 23 of 365



These lamps are reflecting off of a brilliant orange reflective wall in a fantastic frozen yogurt shop; on the 16th street mall, downtown Denver. It was a difficult choice of photo of the day; took SO many pics while downtown.

Cheese graters... 21 of 365


A friend and I went to a cafe in Castle Rock, CO that serves the best fried chicken I've ever had; next my momma's of course. It's in a really old building, very rustic and Western. This was one of the interesting chandeliers hanging over the tables. Yee haw!

A Mullet? ... 17 of 365


This pic was taken with my phone. I was at the Rush concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater; there it was, a Mullet! This is a friend of my nephew's Dad. It's so is funny and I had to make it the photo of the day. It would never be meet my normal standards of digital quality for this type of blog, however, I could not resist.

Sunset over the Rockies, from the city... 14 of 365


This would have been much more amazing if the lights from the parking lot were not in it; but I live in the city and this is how it was. Still beautiful, I think.

Ribbit.... 10 of 365



Taken at the Denver Zoo in the Tropical Discovery area. Not exactly the easiest picture to get; through glass and avoiding a reflection. But I like this little dude, I think he's cute.

The little fan. 8 of 365


This is a young fan at the Colorado Rapids game last night. It was a guys night out game, and some fans received free beanies; this little guy wore his mom's. He was a really good little boy and I was drawn to him by his big eyes. He was cute little guy. I asked the parents if I could snap a couple of shots.

I was told at the gate that I could not bring in any cameras that had a detachable lens, so this was taken with the little Sony Cybershot from my purse. Not what I had in mind for this evening, since I had planned ahead and put on the telephoto lens, but the camera was put back in the car and i adjusted.

Did you ever notice how much effort is put into what we walk on?

The Bench... 5 of 365


At Village Inn on Wednesday nights, it's free pie night! Two good friends and I found ourselves laughing harder then we had in a while, and enjoying ourselves much more then we ever could in a bar for "Happy Hour", this was my "Happy Hour" or 2.
