Today was far from blogworthy. I went shopping for jeans since I was down to one pair (the others wouldnt stay on my hips after the first few weeks). I triumphed in my quest, but it took most of the day. John and I will be heading out long before sunrise to meet up with … More Day 29: Random bits of nothing…
Last night I met up with my friends, Bree and Josh, in Golden to do a very little bit of hiking and some sunset/night photography. Here I was thinking I’d finally sort of adjusted to dealing with the elevations and getting in a tad better shape. I should have known going anywhere with Josh and … More Day 28: Where my friends torture me for my own good…
I spent yesterday morning processing photos, though without my normal software. Lightroom seems pretty intuitive, but I’m more comfortable using Photoshop for my editing needs. Watermarking and processing for the web is probably possible through Lightroom as well, but I don’t want to spend much time working it out when I could be out and … More Days 26…27…
THURSDAY I found my way over to Rocky Mountain National Park for the day. I wandered around and spent some time watching and photographing the elk. About a half hour before I was set to depart for Boulder, I ran into my pal, Johnny, who has been organizing the photo meet-up for the two weekends … More Days 22, 23, 24, 25: Altitude, Longetitude, Attitude, Gratitude
Very little reception as I’m camping in Rocky Mountain National Park through the weekend. Expect a big post on Monday.
Thankfully, I was feeling more myself this morning, which made it much more enjoyable to spend the morning in Rocky Mountain National Park. John and I had originally planned on photographing the sunrise in the park, but we miscalculated when we should leave, so arrived late. Fortunately, the elk rut is in full swing, providing … More Day 21: Elk
I need to remember to take care of small details like resting, drinking fluids and eating enough when I’m running around. Several of the campsites I’d stayed at had water that tasted a bit icky, so I’d not been drinking enough over the weekend. I drank very little water on Sunday and on Monday morning, despite being … More Day 20: *pause*
My campsite last night was in the Pole Mountain Area of Medicine Bow National Forest . It was surrealy beautiful. I think it may become a more scheduled part of my route whenever I come out west. I would love to be able to spend more time there photographing. This morning I’d hoped to capture … More Day 19: Greetings from Colorado
As I mentioned in my last post, I was thrilled with Lotus Cafe (http://tetonlotuscafe.com/Lotus_Cafe/Welcome.html). I came across them by chance while exploring Jackson, Wyoming. I’d first thought to grab breakfast and coffee at a separate location I’d spotted (I don’t recall their name…Organic something), but the first place I spotted was closed on Sundays. I … More Review: Lotus Cafe in Jackson, Wyoming
Yesterday afternoon I was feeling particularly lethargic. I’d really wanted to crash out in my sleeping bag for a while, but decided a hike was more productive. The first little bit of the hike wasn’t very fun, but as I found my rhythm and some gorgeous views, that changed. It was only 2.5 miles but … More Day 18: Wandering ‘Round Wyoming
