This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.
Our dog almost got into a tangle with a racoon the other night. As I was walking him, I failed to notice the shifty critter under the wheels of a parked car. The dog, of course, had no such issue, and bolted for the interloper. Had a heck of a time getting him back into the house, as schnauzers just love to hunt, apparently. Who knew?
Glad you like the tree pic! No tweaking at all. At certain focal lengths and in certain light conditions, my lens vignettes just a touch. I've got three lenses, but tend to use the 18-135 as my everyday one because it covers the vast majority of scenarios quite nicely.
I kinda like the effect. It almost imparts nostalgia.
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

We've only seen one of these in the 2-1/2 years we've been in the mountains. But that on was HUGE!
Was he/she really wanting to be friendly?
The wildest thing that goes through my backyard is Black snakes and Possums. And Emily after a couple margaritas!!
Posted up some kayak pics.
does he look friendly?
Great shot!
At work we feed droves of these Rascals at the dumpter along with flocks of birds.
They are very cute.
The rabies issue is what irks me about them-
doing its very best to look cute - notwithstanding the claws.
