Happy Prospector

2010-02-01T21:23:00.001-07:00

Wendy & I did a little snowshoeing near Breckenridge on Friday. The trail took us past a few old mine shafts. And there’s only one thing you can do at a mine – dance like a happy prospector! Of course this still photo doesn’t quite do it justice, you really should see the video. The first happy prospector dancer was Walter Huston, but if you want to see the best happy prospector dance ever you need to check out how my former coworker Andy does it.

Caught this one while I was back in Wisconsin over Christmas. For you Greendale folks, this is the waterfall between the nature center and the golf course.

Crowded Present, Sustainable Future

I caught this man napping in a terminal at DIA, just before Christmas. The magazine he’s napping with has the headline “Sustainable Future”, which I think contrasts nicely with the overcrowded background.

I ran across Joe on my way home tonight. He was going through a logbook, checking that some recent changes to the light timing wouldn’t cause any problems. It sounded a lot like debugging software to me.

Are We There Yet?

I noticed this little boy sitting in line, waiting to board his flight. He didn’t seem all that thrilled to be at the airport.

Killing Time

Sitting around the airport is one of the many joys inherent in holiday travel. This year I decided to spend some time photographing my fellow travelers.

Singin’ Willie

I ran across Willie on a deserted stretch of 16th Street. He was waiting for the bus to take him back home to Michigan for the holidays. I think he was just passing the time, rather than trying to make money. Either way, he was pretty good with that guitar.

On the lighter side of photos, here’s one of the Grand Canyon mules showing off his new orthodontics.

It’s another cold & wet night in Denver. I’m taking a break from the happy fall leaves to match the view outside.

Dropped Leaf

Veiny aspen leaf with a water drop on it. For the record, that was a natural water drop - no spray bottles or eyedroppers required.

An aspen leaf near Golden Gate Canyon state park.

This one is a finalist in the Mike’s Camera Fall Colors contest. It’ll be up at FLASH Gallery for the juried part of the competition on Friday the 20th.
