When you are a photographer, it changes how you look at the world. You can look at something straight on, seeing it for what it is. Then you look beyond it, seeing it within the context of its background. And then, you look at it with a certain intimacy, seeing the details and inner character. And if you’re lucky, you can capture something beautiful in all three views. I know there are more ways of looking at a scene or a thing, but these are the first things that come to mind.

Spring seems to be oversleeping in Colorado because it’s COLD and I need to remember that there are places like this that I can get to in less than a day. That’s a comfort, isn’t it?

I have been quiet and uninspired of late, not wanting to write, to create, to do anything but read, and I do not know why. I do not feel like myself, and hope that it is only indicative of the passage of seasons, winter into spring, and that I will wake again to myself soon.

Bunnies live in the alley behind my Bungalow. I can’t say exactly where, because that would be divulging their secrets, and I’m not one to share bunny secrets.
When I emerge from the Bungalow in the mornings, there”s usually one near my truck, and it races around wildly trying to figure out where to hide.
Today, it crawled under a little tiny gap between the ground and the bottom of the garage door.
Who knows how many more bunnies are living in there??
I am now captivated by this vision of myself entering the garage and being faced with a million bunnies, like “The Trouble with Tribbles” episode from the old Star Trek.
(Image from http://www.wikipedia.org)
Maybe two bunnies have been in there, doing what bunnies do.
Oh, dear.
Let’s not leave you with that image.
Let’s leave you with Roger.
Yes, enjoy Roger.
