White Moon, Black Tree, Red Hills

The rising sun has been turning the foothills into rubies recently. To stretch the analogy, the tree is the living stuff that can become coal long after it dies, and diamonds shining like the moon long after that. Ok, I’ll shut up and leave the poor picture alone now 🙂 I played with some sunrise…

Michigan Ditch Snowshoe

I woke up Saturday with the worst stiff neck I’ve ever had, and have been down all weekend with it. Luckily that didn’t stop Ann from heading up to Cameron Pass with Sean, Jason, and Sarada for some snowshoeing. And she took pictures for us! They hiked along the Michigan Ditch trail, and got pelted…

Movie: Happy Endings (2005)

I was initially put off by the too-blatant attempts to be self-referential, more of the same stuff that didn’t work in The Opposite of Sex. If you can forgive the film for that, though, this one does manage to convey a fairly intense sense of capriciousness without being excessively implausible, as well as some humorous…

Movie: Some Like It Hot (1959)

A deserved classic. For the situation comedy format it manages to not be entirely goofy, although suspension of disbelief is definitely a requirement. As a gender-bending film it has held up remarkably well with time, though the social commentary is dated much of it still works – a tribute to a well-written script. It’s the…

Moonset Behind Greyrock

Today I decided to focus on the opportunity to watch the near-full moon set in the morning instead of my usual sunrise routine. To my delight, the moon’s path took it down directly behind Greyrock, one of my favorite local landmarks. I took a series of the moon disappearing after this – let me know…

Dawn Ducks and Cattails

This morning I was drawn to this clump of cattails on Heron Lake. As I approached it a Great Blue Heron sprang out and flew away before I could ready my camera! There were plenty of other birds on the lake this morning too, but I hope I can approach more cautiously and get a…

Taft Hill Bridge Sunrise

Good morning from the Taft Hill Road bridge over the Cache La Poudre River. The view from this bridge consists mostly of ponds and rock piles made by local quarry. It’s part of what makes birds love this area, and it was quite nice this morning.

Dawn Horse

My equine friend seemed to be hiding from the rising sun this morning, but unable to resist peeking out at it. It’s a cold morning, and utterly still. The clear sky reminds me how monstrously big the burning globe of the sun must be to dominate our sky from 92 million miles away.

Movie: Murderball (2005)

This documentary succeeds in all sorts of ways. It calmly debunks many misperceptions about quadriplegics and the sport of murderball (or quad rugby), then goes on to involve us in the lives of two teams leading up to the 2004 Paralymipics. The characters are tough and aggressive, and I think the filmmakers must have been…

Retreat from the Ironclads

With promises of temperatures in the 60’s, we head up the South St. Vrain Canyon to try some climbing at the Ironclads. We make the hike in, and Sean learns how to set up a toprope and rappel. The warm temperatures, though, are overwhelmed by violent winds, which drive us off after a single, frozen-fingered,…
