Lunch on the Beach

09Nov09

608 // November 09, 2009

Having lunch on the beach at a restaurant over the weekend and my youngest sister was interested in photographs of her eye, to see how close we can get.

I’ve stumbled upon this before, but I think I want to start a series of photographs called “Tiny Worlds”…. eyes are both secretive and telling…

This is the same photo at 100%.

Driving downtown Denver, loved the colors and texture of this old beat-up car.

Erased the plate, hope it is not too distracting from the photograph.

Alright, enough pumpkin pictures already. This was taken mid-October driving down I-25 – this is a shot of Longs Peak with some road dirt. Love being the passenger all the time so I can get shots like this.

Rather, my hugely-pawed-bear-like puppy. If you didn’t hear, “The Big Snowstorm” was topic on all news channels here in Denver. Nonetheless, it wasn’t bitterly cold — just very heavy, wet snow. Staying away from driving the car anywhere, I’ve been working from home with Cubbie since Tuesday.

He really lightens up my day and never, ever fails to make me laugh every hour or so. He’s the best thing that ever happened to me and Dave – and here he is, staring at me in my office from outside on this snowy day.
