  • Movie: The Ice Harvest (2005)

    A failed satire is always sad. At least I hope for this movie’s sake that it was trying to be a satire. The humor peeks through here and there, but it’s not worth sitting through yet another story of some guys who steal some money, get chased down, betray each other, blah blah blah.

  • Emerald Lake Snowshoe

    Excited to venture into Rocky Mountain National Park for the first time on snowshoes, we try not to let the weather forecast for cold, snow, and wind get us down. The low avalanche danger is reason enough for optimism. Ann and I meet Sean, cousin Doug, and his friend Bill on a blustery morning for…

  • Thawing Copse

    This area has been frozen solid since I first photographed it in November. Now it’s like the ice is clinging to the trees for dear life.

  • Jezze Retires to the Hills

    We knew that RV life would be difficult for Jezze, and that we might have to give her up if we were forced to move. That nearly happened this month, and we were relieved when my dad and Sarah were eager to adopt Jezebel. They live in higher, cooler Indian Hills, where Jezze revels in…

  • Live Music: Mozart Concerto Festival

    Mozart isn’t my favorite composer, and I wasn’t expecting an especially big turnout to see the Colorado Symphony Orchestra play three of his concertos in a row. Absolutely wrong. It seems that Mozart is still the big celebrity of classical music, and Boettcher Concert Hall was as full as I’ve ever seen it. Piano Concerto…

  • Chicago Lakes Trail Ski

    Ann, my dad, Jezze, and I head up to Echo Lake under bluebird skies for a ski and snowshoe outing. We’re in a good mood, optimistic about the day. Ours is only second car in the Echo Lake Lodge parking area, and we soon have the Chicago Lakes trail to ourselves. The trail, after skirting…

  • Red white and blue baby

    Just for fun I slapped some old photo effects on this fine trio to highlight their vintage. The Poudre River bike trail goes right between this trailer park and the river. There are lots more old cars in this area for future pickins.

  • The River Flows

    This is a documentation shot of the Cache La Poudre River. It’s been just a trickle all winter. Today is the first day I’ve seen it starting to really flow. I’m also amazed how high the sun is now on my morning commute – the sunrises are long gone!

  • Movie: In The Cut (2003)

    Is it a horror movie, soft porn, or a film noir? It seems to go for all three, and it really succeeds artfully in each genre. I’m not sure how good a combination it is, but the film is certainly intense and packed with symbols, beautiful cinematography, and even poetry. It’s also so thoroughly bloodsoaked…

  • Cycling Risk

    How risky is it to take the bike out for a ride? As with most activities, it’s fairly well known how many injuries and fatalities occur in a given year, but out of how many cyclists? This estimate based on bicycle sales of 87 million seems a little high to me, but lets go with…
