Happy Thanksgiving

27Nov09

621 // November 27, 2009 Happy Thanksgiving! It has been a very relaxing and yet eventful past few days. Hubbie and I have escaped the city as of earlier this week, and have enjoyed some fresh mountain air. Along with a couple of personal friends who joined us, we had a huge turkey feast on […]

Phish at Red Rocks

01Aug09

567 // August 01, 2009 I’ve been sick the past couple days with a nasty cold, sorry for missing a post or two. I am fairly dosed up on DayQuil, cough drops and vitamin C – because there is no way I can miss one of our few big events this summer: Phish at Red […]

Postcard

06Mar09

456 // March 06, 2009 For those who don’t know, my husband and I got married at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs back in 2006. My sister-in-law has a knack for finding really cool vintage items – she picked up this postcard of The Broadmoor for me. This is the best macro I could get […]

Arc

11Jun08

228 // June 11, 2008 This was taken one day I was working over the weekend — it was beautiful outside so that’s where I brought my work 🙂 What I was trying to accomplish was a picture of the bug that had fallen on his back, can you see where he is in the […]

NEW > Improved Model!

29May08

216 // May 29, 2008 I’m so excited. Really, really excited. So excited that I spent all night playing with them.

1956 Astronomy

04Mar08
