Hope you all have a great day.

November 4th, 2010 - Pretty in Pink

For IndigoDreams: This is for your “post pink” challenge and I sincerely apologize that it is so late! I had good intentions to do this earlier but you know what they say about those! However, they also say “better late than never”, right? No excuses – this should have been posted on Tuesday.

While I have not personally met or lost someone who has had breast cancer, I certainly feel that it deserves as much time and energy as any other ailment – even one death is too many. I lost my mother to Huntington's Disease a year ago and I can understand how the drive to make other people understand and support a cause comes about (and how trying it can be) - I applaud you for your compassion and your energy.

He actually looks like he might be thinking about eating me in this shot, but he's just cleaning his paws!
He is sitting on top of one of my outdoor field specimens for my Thesis research. I measure these blocks at 5:30 in the morning and I have been for about 3 and a half years': this is the first time I have met the fox. He has obviously been the one giving us fits with our equipment over here though: see him eating through my temperature probes! http://angelajones.smugmug.com/Animals/Critters/12735367_nsTFE#1431718179_vKxDwDC

Hope you all have a great Monday!

P.S. If your the one downranking this to pull off the daily photos gallery, please knock it off. Its getting old.

July 20th, 2010 - Ouch

This looks painful to grab a hold of, but I liked the purple color.
Happy Tuesday!

Hope you all have a great Wednesday!

June 7th, 2012 - Miss Cammy learning to come when she is called.

I'm trying to limit myself to one post of Cammy per week, so I don't flood you with puppy pictures.
Thank goodness its almost Friday!

October 18th, 2010 - Rural Rubble

Smaller configuration of a larger rock formation called Vedauwoo. I tried hard to minimize the business of this composition but the puddle was too big to get a full reflection, and I was running out of time. I will have to get back up here at some point and play with this some more.

Hope you all have a great start to your week!

March 1, 2010

Coffee with a friend. All I had time to grab a shot of! This is called a "Hot Snow" and it's amazing.

Happy March 1st! Hope your having a good day to start off the month.

November 8, 2010: Solitude

Finally made time to hike the Turtle Rock Trail in Vedeuvoo at sunrise – it’s been on my list of things to try for a while now…..again better late than never!

The willows this guy had planted himself in were about 12 feet high – took me forever to get a clear view – all I could see were his horns in between the bushes every once in a while. I’m glad I spent more time trying to figure out what it was before tromping off through the underbrush and letting fate sort it out!

I’ve hunted everything from moose to pheasants and I’m confident in my ability to be quiet and patient – so had this been anything else I would have dove off my rock and tried for a better shot. Once I found out it was a moose – I decided NOT to test fate. Technically mating season is over and they DON’T always charge when spooked – so everything would have probably worked out fine…going to be one of those ‘what if’ scenarios you always think about.

Or I suppose I could just work on buying better gear – maxing out at 105mm of zoom certainly didn’t help the situation! Lol.

Oh well I guess.

And that about sums up the excitement from my weekend! Hope you all enjoyed yours!

My first attempt at SC, it was fun because I got to eat mnms without feeling guilty!

Just want to thank anyone and everyone who has stopped by and taken a look or commented on any of my shots. Your time is always very much appreciated!

No More Monday!

August 20th, 2011

I recently commented that I am trying to find 'different' subjects and push myself a bit to find new things in new ways. I want to thank Art Hill for linking his blog post about the subject earlier this week. (http://arthillphoto.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/shoot-something-different/) I would not have noticed this fallen fence pole if I had not read your blog first.

Hope you all have a great Saturday!

July 16th, 2010 - Late Bloomer

I like that this flower starts out with red edges as it's blooming - it eventually loses all the red and turns into a bold yellow flower.
Hope you all have a great Friday!

July 29th, 2010 - The Gods Must Be Crazy

Trying a new coffee from one of the shops in town, this one was named after the movie.
It was really, really good.

"In Seattle you haven't had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it's running. " Jeff Bezos

Hope you all have a great Thursday, and if you've stopped by or left comments lately - thank you. I always appreciate your time!
And this quote made me laugh! I just recently quit working nights so I'm down to only a cup or two a day.....but I used to drink quite a bit more! Good thing I didn't have a sewing machine .....I'd have to try it!

August 19th, 2011 - The Mango cut open

First off: Hillary thank you, I think I found a new dessert! It was awesome!

Second: Apparently I'm a bit special when it comes to cutting things open. This picture isn't even close to what I was trying for. When I tried to scour the sides of the mango the first time, I didn't cut deep enough so trying to flip it and pop it out didn't work very well, it just got things wet. Sooo I tried to go back and cut deeper and since I seem to be a bit retarded when it comes to hand eye coordination, everything ended up in this weird messy pile....

Anyway! Long story short, thank you Hillary for the homework assignment, it was probably the funnest one I've ever gotten! It was definitely an adventure! But I obviously need to go back to mango cutting school so I can get a shot that turns out!

Thank goodness its Friday!

Happy Valentine's Day
Not quite what I was going for, but I played with lots of different stuff - this was the only one I liked.

Hope you have the best Valentine's Day Monday ever.

May 14th, 2011 - Tranquility

Why our wildflowers and grass don't have a clue and generally don't show up until June.

Hope you all enjoy your Saturday!

July 5th, 2010 - Mule's Ears

Hope you all had a great weekend, should get my catching up done throughout the day.

Happy Thursday!

August 21st, 2011 - Lone Cow

I have decided that when I grow up...I want to be a cow.
Just me and some grass hanging out with my other cow friends.
Until someone decides they want a burger...maybe I should shoot for being a milk cow...

Thank you to anyone who's stopped by to inspect or comment on shots, your time is truly appreciated.

Happy Sunday, make it a good one!

Found this stained glass in a study room at one of the local churches. If I had my way I would have taken this from a few different perspectives but I don't think I was where I was supposed to be so I just took a quick shot. Might be cool to try to get back in here later in the evening - I could not find anyone to ask questions about what was and wasn't open to the public.

I try hard not to go where I'm not supposed to, churches is one area where it seems to be church specific. If anyone has any suggestions or basic guidelines I would appreciate it! More particularly for when there isn't someone around to ask!

Hope your all having a great weekend!

March 8th, 2013 - Rugged Resilience

Wyoming mustangs roam wild in southwest areas of the state.
Happy Friday!

October 17th, 2010 - Ames Brothers Pyramid

This monument has been on my to do list since I got my camera. Had some time today so I finally made the drive over.

From Roadside America:
Oliver Ames was the president of the Union Pacific Railroad. His brother Oakes was a Massachusetts congressman and the Railroad's point man in Washington. The two made millions selling shovels to gold-seekers in California, then used the profits to take control of the Railroad, then wildly inflated its construction costs to bilk taxpayers out of an estimated $50 million. Oakes secured Washington's cooperation by bribing his fellow congressmen. When the fraud was uncovered in 1872, Oakes quickly died and Oliver followed a few years later.

The pyramid was the Union Pacific's way to polish the tarnished reputations of its ex-officials. Built in the early 1880s -- after the scandal had subsided -- it stood near a remote railroad town where passengers were encouraged to get off (and look at the pyramid) while the engines were changed. The Railroad hired big-deal architect Henry Hobson Richardson to design it, and a sign at its base proclaims it to be, "perhaps the finest memorial in America." Sculptor August St. Gaudens chiseled large portraits of Oliver and Oakes that were set into the pyramid near its apex (St. Gaudens was in line to design the Lincoln penny, too, but he died too young). Oliver faces west toward California, Oakes faces east toward his pals in DC. "

Hope you all have a great Sunday!
