Continuing on the theme of photos from my parents’ visit to Denver (which has been great fun!), here are some from our lunch date Tuesday at Katie Mullen’s, a neat Irish restaurant and pub downtown that opened in February. I love this shot of my Dad, wearing his classic skeptical-Joe-Loy face: Here’s my Mom taking a picture of him, with… Read more »
Fans leave Coors Field last night after the Dodgers’ 6-1 win over the Rockies ended Colorado’s four-game winning streak: I took the photo from Fadó Irish Pub, where I was watching Brian Clancy (here’s a photo) with my Mom, my Dad, Kristy and her boyfriend, and maybe a hundred of our closest Rockies-fan friends, who dropped in on their way… Read more »
I just got home — a little later than I’d planned — from Coors Field, after watching, in person, “one of the strangest games ever in Denver,” a 14-inning affair that ended in the first walkoff grand slam in Rockies history (and the first grand slam I’ve ever personally witnessed, never mind a 14th-inning walkoff slam), with my Dad. Pretty… Read more »
In keeping with my post last weekend showing off a few photos of fruits and flowers, here are some of my shots from our visit to the Denver Botanical Gardens today: And here’s one from a few days ago — a tomato from our garden.
From a walk around our neighborhood yesterday: And from the Farmer’s Market this morning: The peaches and tomatoes look yummy, don’t they? Mmm… fresh food.
The Santa Barbarians were in town this weekend — i.e., Loyette and Loyacita’s uncle, aunt and 3 1/2-year-old cousin — and we took the opportunity to go on a bunch of adventures, including a hike in Boulder on Saturday. We missed the trail we originally intended to take, and ended up hiking an invented loop trail combining portions of the… Read more »
As I mentioned previously, I’m in Steamboat Springs this weekend. You may have noticed that I have a new masthead banner, with a photo from my trip. Here are some more pictures: I particularly like that last one — an armed armadillo inside a tourist kitsch shop in downtown Steamboat. Heh. Lastly, here’s a vertical panoramic shot (made by stitching… Read more »
I’m in Steamboat Springs for the weekend, at a legal education conference thingy. The drive up here was, as you’d expect, gorgeous. I captured a bit of it by putting my digital camera on the dashboard and just letting it sit there, and shoot video, while I drove. The result turned out pretty well, I think. The “soundtrack” is provided… Read more »
Here’s a photo I took yesterday of crepuscular rays over Denver, shortly before sunrise: And, later in the day, a pair of video screen-grabs (a split second apart) of a single lightning bolt striking two spots south of downtown: It has been an exceptionally stormy summer so far in Denver, for which I blame El Niño, global warming, Canada, and… Read more »
