  • Mother & Child

    Well, the sunrises may be gone, but the bike commute continues to offer new spectacles. This morning I passed this white cow with a big slimy mass hanging out of her mouth. The calf was hidden in the grass, so it took me a moment to realize she had just given birth, and was eating…

  • Live Music: CSO and YuMi Hwang-Williams

    This is just a bookmark for myself, rather than a full review, because I have some projects afoot that are demanding my time. I will record my strongest impression. Listening to a 230-year-old Mozart symphony that I’ve heard many times on the radio somehow made me realize that this music was composed not so long…

  • Artdobber

    I finally meet Artdobber, Bob Gamage, in person at his great little corner studio on West 44th Avenue in Denver. Bob found my review of an Olga Kern concert we both attended, and stayed in touch. His work explores his intuition about shape and color, and draws inspiration from the music of Rachmaninov to the…

  • Dawn Stable

    I’m trying to get over the sense that I’m spying when take pictures of other people’s property. This one was particularly difficult due to a car idling in front of the neighboring house, but I couldn’t resist the sunlight streaming out of the stable door.

  • Live Music: Yakov Kasman

    Another opportunity to see a world-class pianist play mind-bendingly difficult pieces came our way this Sunday afternoon when Van Cliburn silver medalist Yakov Kasman took to the stage at CSU’s Edna Rizley Griffin concert hall. We chose seats with a view of the pianist’s face rather than his hands this time, and were taken aback…

  • TV: Firefly – Serenity (2002)

    This didn’t do it for me. I may receive death threats from my friends for saying so, but it seemed to me like it couldn’t decide whether to be satire or drama, and just came off hokey. It’s too bad, because I liked the sci-fi western concept, and was ready to go with it. We…

  • We welcome a new member of the family

    For too long I’ve been the only one with a comfy recumbent bike to ride into town on. No longer. On Friday we bought a discounted floor model Baccheta Giro 20 from Spring Creek Recumbents here in Fort Collins. Ann calls it her SUV. Today we rode a loop over Bingham Hill, and Ann had…

  • Today’s Sunrise

    There won’t to too many more of these, I think. As the days get longer I’ll start sleeping through them again. It’s tempting to say that I love them enough to start getting up earlier, but I’m sure that’s just the fool talking, and not the one who actually has to pull his butt out…

  • Time to quit the day job?

    I’m thinking of starting another moonlight career in child photography, inspired by this visit from our our adopted nephew Dyson. He’s been to New Zealand since we last saw him, and will soon be off to New Mexico where his dad got a job at some lab down there…

  • Today’s Sunrise

    The lake is frozen again. It’s been cold and calm enough this time that the ice is very smooth and clear. The ducks and geese are not out in the morning on days like this, though. The shape of the sun came finally through in this picture, but I still want to play more with…
