Squirrel on a Wire

20Dec09

637 // December 20, 2009 The weather has been unseasonably warm down here in Denver. Which, I don’t mind at all. Keep all the snow in the mountains… (well, unfortunately, that hasn’t been happening, either). I took Mr. Cub on a walk today around the neighborhood, this squirrel followed us for about a solid two […]

Feather

04Aug09

569 // August 04, 2009 This is one of a few feathers I have seen around Denver – can anyone name what bird it comes from? I’m horrible with identifying them – aside from all the diseases it’s probably carrying, sure is a pretty one.

Just “Bee” Yourself

18Jul09

558 // July 18, 2009 If you have ever crossed the path of a bug and yours truly at the same time, you’d know that I hate ’em. I jump, scream – act like an unnecessary spaz. I can’t help it! The critters freak me out. Except when they are docile and not moving. This […]

White Observer

07Jul09

558 // July 07, 2009 Mountain goat on Mt. Quandary. He tried to get kind of close to us on our descent down the mountain — we think it was because of the pups and unfortunately, some people do feed them. In either case, he quickly lost interest and we continued on our way.

Body Cap Experiment

05May09

509 // May 5, 2009 With my new pinhole photography experimentation lately, I’ve seen some ways you can alter the body cap for a DSLR into a pinhole lens. Extra body cap? Check. I followed these directions and shot a few. The pictures came out decent enough – both these were taken at a 30 […]

Coors Sparrow

10Apr09

485 // April 10, 2009 Red Breasted Sparrow by Coors Field in April. He kept flying around so it took a few tries to get him through the branches, but I think the patience was worth it.

Turtle-bathing

29Jan09

430 // January 29, 2009 How much do you wish you were these guys right now? Sun, beach, warm and in Hawaii. I was randomly showing a friend today some pictures of my honeymoon back in 2006 and came across this picture. It’s an oldie, but goodie – and don’t think I’ve shown it on […]
