Looks like a "good time" place

I have been to Lake Powell numerous times but I have never been on Navajo Lake in a boat.  Looks like a place I would love to explore.  Maybe this summer a houseboat voyage would be in order.

Bobcat Bonanza

Preston bagged this handsome bobcat the other day.  It's an amazing trophy and made even better because he did it with his pistol.  Not an easy feat with a handgun.

Ancient Times

Strolling through the ancient Anasazi ruins at sun rise you could almost hear the sounds of "the people", smell the smoke from their cooking fires, and see glimpses their shadows as they moved through the narrow passageways of their city.  I wish I could somehow reverse time for just a few days to see what life was like before they vanished.

No Posts for a while

I won't be posting for a while.  Mary's brother Paul passed away and we are busy making arrangements for his funeral.  He was a wonderful man and he will be greatly missed by everyone who's life crossed his path.

Never to be Duplicated

A micro second of light and color dancing together with a mystical choreography that will never be duplicated…it happens in the blink of an eye.  You can't really see it until you look at the finished image.  My fascination comes from being able to capture something so beautiful that can never happen exactly the same way ever again.

Don't Rush the Process

I neglected to mention in my previous post that in my opinion pheasants should be properly dry aged, just like fine beef, before cooking.  To dry age a pheasant you hang it whole from the head in a 50 degree environment for 3 to 5 days.  This will make the meat much more flavorful and tender when cooked.  I know it seems strange but it is well recognized by knowledgeable chefs everywhere that proper aging techniques will greatly improve the taste and texture of fresh pheasant.  Some people may find this objectionable but again, in my opinion, it improves the flavor of the meat.

Culinary Delight

I went Pheasant hunting today and now I see a platter of Pheasant Marsala and a chilled glass of Chardonnay in my future.

Clever Idea

With the numerous break-ins and burglaries that seem to occur on a daily basis, it becomes a real challenge to keep your belongings safe.  Here is a clever idea.  Maybe the crooks will be worried about who or what is inside and not break in.  Ya think?

Hidden Chapel

This picturesque little chapel sits on a quiet street right here in Colorado Springs.  Can anyone tell me where?

The Depredation of Time

I don't think anyone would argue that it took considerable talent and effort to design this, lay it out, and then to paint it, but I would have hoped that it would have been more lasting.  Notice the paint on the white letters is already beginning to flake off.  A large replaceable banner may have been a better idea.

Incredible Fashion Designs

I am constantly amazed by the colors you can find in the natural world.  From his dazzling orange feet to the top of his iridescent greenish blue head, this regal Mallard Drake is decorated in grand fashion and is a spectacle to behold.  Who says green, blue, yellow, brown, black, grey, white, and orange look dreadful together?

 

Make New Tracks

To venture off the beaten path and go somewhere you have never been before can be a very frightening proposition, but it is very exhilarating to make new tracks in fresh powder.
Don't be afraid to make your own trail through life.

It Will Make You Crazy

Right after Christmas we bought some new stereo equipment and I have been busy setting it all up.  I think if you could take a photo of the inside of my head right now it would look just like this.  It'll make you crazy, but it was actually fun and now that I am done...it sounds fantastic.
