Sunday Style!

I didn't have a human subject lined up for today, so here's our awesome dog Frodo in some pics from last August. He wore his little Broncos jersey for today's game to no avail. I guess the Patriots somehow managed to deflect his powerful cuteness, winning the game by three points and ending our Superbowl dream. It's all right, our team had a great season anyway. It was fun while it lasted!

I hope these snaps of Frodo put a smile on your face. I figure we can all use some cheering up today, given the state of things.

San Miguel

Yesterday afternoon, looking eastward on San Miguel Street at about Arcadia.

Frolic

As we were warned, frigid temperatures have descended upon us. When I took this today it was 10° F (-12° C) outside and snowing, but these dogs and their humans didn't mind. They were in their element.

There's a spot in our front yard where the snow takes longer to melt and it can make for some interesting patterns. We're about to get some seriously frigid, snowy weather. In fact, I think most of North America is in for it. Today I was driving around in nearly 50° F temps with the car window down, but as I type this, it's now 20° F (or -7° C) and dropping. Batten down the hatches, it's going to be a very cold weekend.

Business as Usual

The world may be going to hell in a handbasket, but it's business as usual in Old Colorado City.

Pitter Patter

I stopped by Nancy Lewis Park for a minute or two yesterday, just long enough to grab this shot of bird footprints on the frozen pond surface.

A Little Pick-Me-Up

Well I don't know about you, but for me the news cycle just in the last few days has been utterly insane, which is causing me a lot of stress, sleeplessness and a petite soupçon of depression. Today I just about had enough when I saw our batsh*t crazy president's letter to the PM of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre. After processing that nonsense I was treated to a horrible video of ICE agents violently smashing in the windows of a woman's car while simultaneously screaming at her and her passenger not to f*cking move and to f*cking get out of the car. How could they possibly comply with both of those orders? That was enough to make me jump in my car with a camera just to chase a few moments of sanity. I was looking for anything to focus on that might cheer me up when I drove past this cute little house on West Colorado Avenue that I've never noticed before. It's like someone just plopped it down there to lift my spirits.
