Hi Mike,Patrick & Georgia just returned from a trip to Quebec, and provide this JAlbum album. It was their first visit to Canada together, and they spent time in Montreal & Quebec City, which they preferred by far. In fact this album has no pictures of Montreal! How come?There are also some pictures of Gilsum, […]
Michael, For her 23rd birthday, Beth & I promised Katie a horseback ride in the Boulder area. So when Katie dropped into Denver from her latest Americorps projects, we brought her back up to Boulder and made a call to our friendly cowboy Fred. Fred has given up mountain climbing to be a part-time cowboy. […]
Mike, It’s been quite a while since I climbed a “real” mountain (i.e. one over 13,000 ft high) and I wanted to know if I could still do it in my late middle age. So I looked up at the Indian Peaks from 75th St, and thought about which one I hadn’t climbed. Navajo! It’s […]
Mike, Every week or so, I discover another mural in Boulder–usually on the outside of a wall, sometimes on the inside of a restaurant or a store. There’s a few more murals that I haven’t managed to photograph, but there are enough now on my camera disk to make an entertaining collection. Enjoy the free-spirited […]

Hi Mike, My old buddy Joe, a long-standing member of the Fogies Five (and an even longer-standing member of the “B.A.D.” club when we were CU grad students), and I went on a hike up to the alpine meadows of the Crater Lakes cirque, 30 miles west of Boulder. Along with us came Wayne, Joe’s […]
Hi Mike, Beth & I are taking advantage of my current 2-week respite from doctors to visit the SF Bay area for 3 days. The pano is shot from the Space Science Lab atop Grizzly Peak on the UCB campus (where I’m working). I’m trying to get a good sunset picture from this great vantage […]
Mike, I keep thinking I’ve seen most everything Boulder has to offer, but almost every time Beth & I go for a walk or a drive thru Boulder, I see something new. This time I was walking by the City Hall, and ventured over to their new plaza, which just opened up in May. The […]
Hi Mike, Today, an old friend, Steve Nerney, who moved out here to Boulder from the East late last year, came with me up to Rocky Mtn Nat’l Park for a hike. For our jaunt, I had selected Granite Gorge, a spectacular canyon ending in a Yosemite-like cirque at 10,200′, just below Long’s Peak. Ten […]
Mike, Yesterday evening we drove back from a trip to the Pike’s Peak area, and the sunset was so spectacular I nearly drove over the median strip several times trying to get a glimpse of it. If my loving wife hadn’t prevented me, i would have shot pictures out of the window while I was […]
…to a nearby blog: -o- Carved in Stone — In Colorado, stone is as cheap as dirt (maybe cheaper). Hence many signs are literally carved in stone. -o- Boulder Murals — There aren’t any Grohes in Boulder, but the local artistes and graffites have created some nice outdoor art. -o- Funny Business — It’s my […]
Mike, Before we came to Boulder last January, I was thinking that some aspects of the town would be much the same as when I lived here in the ’60s: political activism, marches, inflammatory posters, streaker parades, and above all, wonderfully diverse bumper stickers plastered on every car. Well, that’s only partially true. There are […]
