Editing. Remembering.

Two of my favorites from today's editing. Both shots brought my Grandad to mind. I miss him. A lot.

Grandad called this a sun-bow; a rainbow cast in the clouds, away from the sun. The first time I remember him showing me one was on a fishing trip below the dam on the Dolores River. J and I had only been married a year or two, so it was at least 10 or 11 years ago. I can close my eyes and remember the exact way it felt, sitting on the bench with him, our heads tipped back, the Colorado sun beating down and that amazing sun-bow shimmering above us in the wispy clouds. The smell of the river. The feel of his strong hand squeezing mine.

I love how this one is reflected in the lake. And the splashes from the rocks A threw.

So much of the good stuff in this life is found in the tiny details.

It would seem . . .

that you need an Operating System to, you know, operate your computer system. Go figure.

According to the resident computer expert my desktop's operating system breathed it's last sometime in the night this past Tuesday. Funny thing is that I do all blog/photography related stuff from the desktop with the fancy monitor and good lighting. So, no operating system, no blogging. No operating system, no photo editing.

J got new software on Friday and installed it Saturday night. Unfortunately the Pickle and I woke up with colds on Sunday. We're starting to feel human again, so I thought I'd check in.

Finally, because a post is just not complete without a photo:


Man, I wish I were there again!

October 31, 2009

It would appear that it has been a whole month since I last posted on 9-7-09. I have to say I don't feel bad about that at all. Although completely unplanned, I really needed this break.

I have so many things rolling around in my brain that I'd like to post about, but we'll have to see.

I need to update my photography blog with a photo-journal of our trip to Colorado over Fall Break. The cutest little k ever who is now (over) three months old and the Three Sisters need to make an appearance there as well.

I have lots of sewing planned as well as lots of knitting finished that just needs photographed.

Our fall/winter garden needs replanted since some little critter(s) decided to eat each and every seedling to the ground.

Hmmmm . . . so much to do and so little time.
