Anniversary Flowers....

 Our Anniversary was on the 11th.  But since we were out of town and about to travel we decided to wait on the Flowers until we got home.  Just some basic Cell Phone Pics for now......Macro Images coming soon.....

Merry Christmas

 Blessings and Best Wishes to All this Holiday Season!

Remember to Stay Safe in the Desert!

We are on our way home after a safe (and sometimes even fun can I say?).  My Drs at the Mayo Clinic have not decided on a final treatment for my vision problem.  So We wait and see.  In the meantime always Stay Safe in the Desert!

Our 22nd Wedding Anniversary.......

Today is our 22nd Wedding Anniversary.  We had our formal dinner last night and will spend today in the mountains......

#CameraChallenge : Back for December

 My Medical Time off has resolved.  And I have been Shooting some while on Hiatus.  So starting in December, let's see how many of the subjects I have hit.......

But some frustration as my film from this shooting appears to be 'lost'.  We'll see if something turns up b the end of the week.

UPDATE: film arrived 11/27/20/  Boy the Mail was really SLOW.  But I hope to have postings for the #CameraChallenge.

Quiet Phoenix Thanksgiving.........

A Quiet Dinner and Telecon with Donald's mother in Colorado........

Medical Hiatus: Simply The BEST!

 My Neighbors working to keep me safe when I return home:  SIMPLY THE BEST!

Above: Done....below where they started.

I;ll be home from my Mayo Clinic Journey in time for Christmas!

Medical Hiatus

 I'll be taking off a few weeks from my Regular Sunday Posts and #WednesdayWindows Posts.  Hope to be back soon!

Last Garden View: Green Tomatoes

 I didn't have as many green tomatoes as usual.  But still picked some to share with my neighbors.....

This represents the last of the 3rd QTR Frugal Film images.  I got a lot of good images from the Yashica.

Lilies

 These Lilies were wonderful this year....

Also gone now......

#WednesdayWindows Abstraction

Pursuing My Inner Monet here also:

 

Sunflower

 Sunflower is part of my Garden Farewell.  Over the next few days everything will freeze.  In fact, the Sunflowers (and guest Bee) are already gone.

#WednesdayWindows in Pueblo, Colorado

 Some wall art that cleverly incorporates a Window.......

Walden Clouds

 Lucky it was a clear dat.  No Forest Fire smoke on that day.

#WednesdayWindows : My Kitchen

 I've been trying to capture this window with the faucet.  This comes close.  But I'll keep trying.  Here's my best attempt thus far:

Fall on Walden Ponds

 Just some quiet time on Walden Ponds:

These Walden Ponds refer to Thoreau, but in this case were originally gravel pit.  Now naturally filled by ground water and providing a nest ground and migration stop for aquatic birds.

#WednesdayWindow Abstraction

 Just something a little different...........

From an early roll of film from my Kodak Autographic No.1 1913 Camera.

Welcome Fall!

 Fall Colors this year aren't very goo due to our drought.  But I remembered this Favorite Fall Phote of Kenosha Pass from a few years ago......

Veterans Memorial Tunnel

 This is the newest Tunnel.  Actually and enlargement/replacement of a smaller tunnel.    So new that it has no separate Wikipedia entry.  The Tunnels was enlarged to add potential express lanes at a later date.  It is just east of Idaho Springs on Interstate 70.  We usually approach this area by merging onto I-70 for US Hwy 6, and yes it is a left lane merge:

Here below in the westbound lanes:

And below we are inside the tunnel.  It also has a curve:

Another part of my Frugal Film Shooting............

Sunday Tunnels

 No new windows to share on Wednesday.  So for now you get a few Sunday Tunnels.  Here, the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels.  Edwin Johnson was the Governor who lobbied for these Tunnels that go beneath the Continental Divide on Interstate 70, approximately 60 miles west of Denver. And hopefully we all know that President Eisenhower started the Interstate System.  West bound is Eisenhower and east bound is Johnson.  Hazardous materials still have to go over Loveland Pass.

We were headed west at the time.....

As you can see the Tunnels curve.  Entering from the east we make a right curve.  The Tunnels also drop in elevation going west.

And Finally exiting on the west side....

These photos were part of a roll I shot for the Frugal Film Project.

Garden Update - Everything Survived

 

Front Yard above.  Our first Snow on Sept 8-9th.   Early for a hard Freeze, but everything survived.  Even the Zuchinni which we forgot to cover (below).

Back yard Snow.  The Eggplants were wrapped and in front of the planter, and below, unwrapped>

The plants in the snow pics wrapped in blue were my two largest heirloom tomatoes, which were fine also.  The Sioux Tomato above.

Below the Paul Robeson Tomato, which were found out was originally a Russian Tomato.

So my garden continues for at least another month.
