52 Week Photo Project: Week 19

Up - in Denver. Looking up from a parking lot into the blue sky.

The Good and The Bad

The Good: Today we ran to see if my phone could either be repaired or replaced.  We decided on the replacement of it with an upgraded phone. So I now have my camera back. I too this photo before bed.  It is Caesar wrapped up next to me.

The Bad: We came home from replacing my phone and there was water in the laundry room.  We thought the cat's water dish that is around the corner in the kitchen tipped. But when we looked at where the water was actually in the laundry room - we realized that wasn't the cause. Michael went into our bedroom and as soon as he stepped near our walk in closet his feet were wet. Our water heater sprung a leak. Luckily the people that installed it 17 years ago were the ones that were available to come out right away.  Tomorrow we have to go out of town for work and now after needing to pay for a new water heater we will need to go so Wendy is amazing and offered to come be there while the new one would be installed. The bedroom looks like it has been hit by a cyclone because I had to empty the walk in closet, but at least we will have water back tomorrow by the time we get home.

Trip to Dead Horse Point State Park

Michael and I had a chance to go to Moab for a couple of days for work, but on Friday afternoon we were able to take some time to go to Dead Horse Point State Park. Neither of us had been there so we were glad for the chance to be able to go.  It was beautiful. The weather was cool, but not cold so that we could walk around without coats until the sun went down.

52 Week Photo Project: Week 3

Frozen waterfall outside Idaho Springs.  Michael upgraded his iPhone so I got his old one which is faster and bigger memory then my old one.  I was needing it as many photos as I snap - I was running out of room. With my old iPhone - the iPhone 4 I wouldn't have been able to get this photo.  With his old 4s - I was. This was in a moving car along I-70 outside of Idaho Springs. So I was thrilled it took such a good photo.

52 Week Photo Project: Week 50

We have been traveling a lot and also in Denver a lot so this view is becoming common for us.  But this day we went down it - it was stunning with the snow and water. This is Glenwood Springs Canyon.

52 Week Photo Project: Week 49

Late night drive back to Denver again. Trees and moon in Edwards.

52 Week Photo Project: Week 47

I love the Denver Public Library building. We were in Denver for work and I noticed the lights and the colors in the windows...so snapped a photo.

52 Week Photo Project: Week 40

52 Week Photo Project: Week 36

Michael and I went through Rocky Mountain National Park.  It is something I have wanted to do for a long time as I wanted to create some memories with Michael in this beautiful place.

On our way over Trail Ridge Road - I was lucky enough to snap this photo of 2 big horn sheep.

52 Week Photo Project: Week 34

Sacred

Skyline

Street Art in Denver

When we were in Denver, we drove past the street art again. I noticed one of the murals had changed. Top photo is before and bottom photo is what it looks like now. I love the changes to it, but just so interesting to see how it transformed.

Street Art

I posted a photo of Denver street art for Week 23 of my 52 Week Photo Project.  Here is a collage of several of pieces of the street art.

52 Week Photo Project: Week 23

There is this one ally that we pass often in Denver that is filled with street art and every time we pass it I say to Michael that I would love to take some photos of it.  This past week, we arrived early for an appointment so took a few minutes to take some photos. This was one of my favorites in the ally.

52 Week Photo Project: Week 19

We were in Denver this week and so these are a few shots downtown. The Denver Art Museum and the Denver Public Library.

On the Road

Photo from our early morning departure. We arrived safely in Idaho.

Soon to Meet a Friend

Sour Cream Cookies
made for my friend and her family

Today I am cleaning like a mad woman. We are going out of town and I hate coming home to a dirty house and often when we are leaving for a trip things end up looking like a tornado hit the house because I am packing and throwing things all over to find things for our trip.

Most of the time though I am lucky and do get a chance to clean things up so we aren't coming home to a dirty house. I change sheets and towels and sprinkle essential oils throughout the house so that when we come home and open the door it smells good too.

I also baked some cookies because I get to met a friend while in Idaho.

When Michael first found out he was going to Idaho, he asked me if I wanted to go because he remembered I have a friend I have known online for almost 10 years that I haven't met face to face who lives in the area. Of course I jumped on that chance and in a few days I will meet her and I am so excited!

Her and I bonded on a menu planning group years ago. Soon after we became fast friends enjoying Firefly, cooking, tea, books, the color purple and so many other things. In a few days we will be able to talk about all those wonderful things face to face - laugh and hug and just enjoy each other's company. Really EXCITED!

52 Week Photo Project: Week 9

Last week I was really disappointed in myself for not taking more pictures so this past week I was more aware and conscious of the fact I wanted too take out that camera more.  Michael also upgraded my cell to an iPhone so I  now have the camera there and instagram so I should be taking more photos because of having my phone with me almost always.

That was the case on Friday, Michael had to work downtown Denver so I snapped a few pictures.  This top one was the photo I used in the 52 Photo group on FB.

We were right across the street from the Denver Art Museum  They had a Georgia O'Keefe exhibit going on....wished we could have went to see it, but we were really busy on Friday.
