Hiking in Golden Gate Canyon State Park in the foothills of the Rockies. Gorgeous.

An omen?

      1 Comment on An omen?

We had a gorgeous double-rainbow over our neighborhood this evening: It’d be overkill to get all “small and passing thing” about this: NCAA scholarship restrictions and bowl bans are not equivalent to the great Shadow of evil, beyond whose reach is much “light and high beauty” like this rainbow. Even so, it was a refreshing sight at the end of… Read more »

Infractions Committee pre-drinking?

      4 Comments on Infractions Committee pre-drinking?

So, I was taking some pictures this evening of USC national championship paraphernalia around the house, preparing for a future blog post in the unhappy eventuality that, sometime soon, some of said paraphernalia may refer to events that, according to the NCAA, never happened. In the course of this, I took the following picture of an item that refers to… Read more »

The View From Our (Hotel) Window

In honor of the recent political chaos in Connecticut — land of Richard “Misplaced Words” Blumenthal and Susan “Active Practice (NOT!)” Bysiewicz — I have, as you can see, put up a new blog masthead, above, showing the beautiful view of the State Capitol from the ninth-floor room at the Holiday Inn Express where Becky, the girls and I stayed… Read more »

The Moment

I just submitted a picture, taken at 9:00 AM Mountain Time this morning, to the New York Times for its “Moment In Time” global photo mosaic (organized by its “The Lens” blog). One of the topics is “Family,” and this certainly falls into that category: The pictured scene came together on its own; Loyette spontaneously decided to start organizing her… Read more »

Of all the volcano-related photos I’ve seen recently — including the beautiful gallery of Eyjafjallajökull pics on the Boston Globe‘s always-awesome photoblog, The Big Picture — this one is my favorite. It was taken by Arnþór Ævarsson of Hveragerði, Iceland, on April 5, and it shows the volcano in the foreground… and the aurora borealis in the background. The volcano… Read more »

Rocky Mountain High

You may notice that my blog has a new masthead, an image of the Denver skyline set against the Rockies. I took the photo Sunday at the Museum of Nature and Science, whose atrium has one of the most breathtaking views of the city you’ll find. More pics here, including the full panorama shown (in part) in the masthead.

Rocky Mountain holiday

For Labor Day, I went with Becky & the girls up into the Rocky Mountains. We stopped initially at Lair o’ the Bear Park, where Loyette had a grand old time running around, getting dirty in the mud, and getting soaked in the stream. Then we headed down Route 103 to Echo Lake (where we stopped for a picnic lunch)… Read more »
