I have just gone through all my Waldo Canyon fire photos, re-editing and, I hope, improving them. They are assembled here in an album and so can be viewed from top down in chronological order, from the early days of a little smoke over the ridge to the first visible-from-here flickers of fire, to...

Banff and Sulfur Mountain

And here's the last set of photos of the Canada adventure. My first cable car ride... I love being up high, as long as there's something to hang on to. Check out that antique cable car!

Canada Road Trip

Some years ago, I made a few drives up to Canada, and took a few photos though the camera I had at the time was kinda lacking in the zoom, and my editing skills were limited, too. Here is the first part of one of those trips, one of the first touristy stops, a place in eastern BC called 'Sasquatch... Sign in to see full entry.

Re-visiting Bryce Canyon

I was looking for some specific photos from my two trips to Bryce Canyon National Park, so that's today's Adventuring: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjv5SDsF The first trip, my knee was acting up, and going down in among the hoodoos and all was not an option. The second trip, though, I did go down one of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison

On the western edge of the Rockies, the Gunnison River flows through a high canyon of ancient rock. Geologists love the place particularly. (FYI: Never let the geologist drive!) Charlie and I drove through this less-known National Park that is just a few miles east of Montrose CO on Hwy 347. It... Sign in to see full entry.

The Great Cloud

Today's photo offering is a memory of a certain cloud. I was driving Charlie to college, the last day of a 2-3 day trip from Olympia, WA to Colorado Springs. As we traveled along I-70 from Utah, and coming out of the canyon east of Glenwood Springs, we spotted a bright cloud over the mountains to... Sign in to see full entry.
