Dance Pictures

Monkey had picture night at Dance class. I let my inner dutchman shine through and shot the pictures myself.

Thunderbirds

The thunderbirds are in town for the AFA graduation. I managed to get a few shots.

mothra

when you get a close look at a moth like this, you fully understand why the Japanese pitted it against godzilla. as an experiment, the first few of these were shot with the flash at 1/250th of a second. I was going for frozen body, blurred wings. I think this is a white lined sphinx moth.

A Castle and some Raptors

Bishop’s castle and the pueblo raptor center were on the agenda for the day. Scott is in town, and he enjoyed the castle. The shot from the raptor center with the kestrel on the enclosure wall, he would do that to you if you got too close to the chicken wire. scared the crap out of us at first, and then turned into a game. the greeter cat, he has the loudest purr ever. he can be heard from 10 yards away.

Sky Sox Fireworks

While on a walk this evening, the sky sox finished the game and so we got to see the fireworks. enjoy!

Rockies vs Diamonbacks

I was at a Dell event in Denver today and they let me carry my camera bag in.

HATS!!!

okay, so feel free to make fun of me for offering hats for sale BEFORE I offer any images. These hats were done for me by Doug May at wsgear.com. Doug is an awesome guy who can get you pretty much anything with a logo on it, as well as a plethora of other services. anyway, back to the hats. I have one of each color shown except the black ones, there are 4

of those. If you want a hat, they are 20.00 each (that includes shipping). since my site is a wordpress.com site, I can’t sell off of here via ecommerce. So we will have to do this the old fashioned way, send me 20 bucks and I’ll send you a hat. Let me know what color, and it will be first come first served. If we get enough interest, we’ll make some more.

Garden of the Gods, and visiting Family

My sister Rene and Her husband Rick are in town for a short visit. We have been doing the whirlwind tour of the sites in town. The wide shot of the peak is done in the surrealistic style HDR preset.

Flowers and Beavers

Sunday night in my favorite park. This beaver is one of the new babies for the year.

Hummingbird Festival

we dropped by the hummingbird festival today at Starsmore. The birds from the pueblo raptor center were there for a visit.
