I’ve added a new “feature” to the yearly Family Faces gallery that shows everybody at 1 year old, 2 years old, etc, up to 18 years old. Let me know if you forgot (or never had) the password.
After a week or two of unusually cold weather, it warmed up into the mid-40’s today, which creates awesome snow for the construction of some outdoor friends.
So…. my neighbors kids (Kayden and Kyndall) decided (with help) to build a snowman in my front yard (which had yet to be disturbed by zillions of tiny footprints.) Once we got the snowman up and prepped, Nikki thought it would be funny to add a dog.
Well, another “event” made the news while I “was in town”. I was out in San Jose last week to do some work for BAE Systems, and was sitting in the hotel when the building started shaking pretty good. Not enough to knock much down (a couple things fell, but it wasn’t too bad). Pretty surprising, and pretty quickly over.
Most people who know me know that I sign emails, letters, and other notes with my initials : SRP. Little did I know they’d name an entire company after me.
A quick story from one day in my brother Scott’s life. He sent out this email to family with the subject “How not to get fired from your job as a rafting guide” (he worked as a guide on the American River.)
It’s been a very interesting, very busy summer, with virtually no time to get away to the hight country. But, I still had to go. I called Gregg after I saw his pictures from last weekend, and asked if he was interested in a quick trip to Guanella Pass. This trip is talked about all the time, and I highly recommend that nobody take it. It was like being in a parade. There were too many people in too many cars and barely any color. But we found some pictures anyway…
After almost 6 weeks away from home, I decided to take the truck up to the Continental Divide and play. I have been away so much this summer that I haven’t really made it to our natural Colorado playground at all this year.
Check out this link from the Hubble Space Telescope called the “Hubble Ultra Deep Field” (HUDF), the deepest image of the universe ever taken in visible light. Some browsers will show this as a small picture, and you should be able to click on it to blow it up quite a bit. There’s a lot of other really interesting pictures on this site too.
After heading up to Lake Isabelle just after sunrise to take wildflower pictures, I was “resting” at home that evening. The Fourth of July show for Broomfield was moved to just north of my sub-division. Which means I could get out the camera and simply take the pictures from the back porch.
