{foto friday – so, it’s been snowing a little… and i was kind of a major slacker at work today}
31 Jan…and i took a ton of pics with my favourite iphone app, shake-it.
beginning with a shameless selfie 🙂
POWDER DAY!
so pretty. Continue reading
{travel tuesday – the winter x-games : from a slightly different perspective}
28 Jan
this weekend i helped work at the winter x games in buttermilk. it was pretty unbelievable.
however, i didn’t go to see the athletes or even watch any of the event, and yet i had access to almost every venue and space on the mountain… what exactly then, was i doing at x games?!
sorting through this enormous pile of trash :
i’m not even kidding. there were 2 other huge piles just like this in the two days i helped…
i was part of the “green team” for the weekend – sorting through waste to divert it from a going to a landfill. the goal was to divert 80%, and i believe we came damn close! that team is so amazingly dedicated!!! Continue reading
{foto friday – “this house is blessed with love, laughter, family, friends, and a cat”}
17 Janjust a couple shots of my kitty callee, being insanely cute and sitting next to this pillow my grandma gave me years before i even got callee… doesn’t the cat on the pillow look just like her?!!!
gah, she’s just so cute!!!!!
🙂 have a great weekend, everyone!
{thirsty thursday – a toast to all this white stuff outside!}
16 Jantwo delicious NBB brews to add to the list :
snow day – dark and rich and full of caramel notes…
accumulation – bright and hoppy with a crisp finish…
both brews celebrate the winter season, and the fanciful snowfall that comes with it. fanciful… how fun is that word.
😉
please drink responsibly… for real, though.
{it’s the final foto friday of 2013!}
27 Decand this is what happened this week :
———
i worked on christmas day for the first time in my life… which was kind of okay and kind of weird. naturally, i brought my vitamix breakfast cookies to the office – and all 4 dozen got devoured! 😉
callee was adorable – every second of every day… just look at her! 😉
i visited the best breakfast place in town… these mugs are personal for the local regular guests – how cute is that?! 😉
it was so damn cold in the mornings, the windshield-washer fluid in my friend’s car totally froze… but also created this cool pattern 😉
and i saw this family of ravens… they tend to follow me around – they are my spirit animal, no doubt! 😉
i’m pretty sure this was a mama and a bunch of babies. although i’m not certain because it seems odd that they would have offspring in the winter, but i didn’t feel like researching it… does anyone know when crows/ravens typically mate and reproduce?
happy last friday of the year!!
😀
{kitty yoga – volume 3}
14 Dec
my kitty callee loves laying on my yoga mat…and why wouldn’t she?! — cats can get into some pretty contorted positions, dude!
and since injuring my neck/shoulder last week {i’ll give all the details soon}, i am actually told by my physical therapist to NOT do too much stretching… so callee is taking my place on the magenta mat until a couple weeks pass 😉
have a great weekend, friends!
{whatever wednesday – cute callee cat quirks}
20 Novmy cat is kind of quirky and kind of ridiculous…
ridiculously cute, i mean…
she’s always getting into things… just like her mama. 😉 Continue reading
{deciphering abstract fotos – volume one}
11 Novcan you guess what this is a fotograph of?! when i saw it, i just HAD to run and get my camera and capture these images…
the only manipulating i did to these fotos was in post-production, and the only thing i did was add contrast… and if someone can figure out what i actually fotographed, i will be so completely shocked. i think it will also be fun to see what kind of responses i can get!
😀
below is a close-up….
please comment!
pssssttt, hey – have fun! now, today, tomorrow, this week, next week, all month, the rest of this year… 2014… and beyond! 😀
{the bi-annual cattle round-up}
11 Novi had never seen anything like this and i was so happy to get immersed right in the middle of it!
remember last friday i wrote about the coolest cattle?! well, as i was fotographing them that day, i inadvertently got stuck behind the twice-a-year cattle round-up that takes place here in town. i was pretty much cracking-up the entire time and also felt so privileged to have witnessed this event, camera-in-hand.
it was the day of the eclipse, too… and the sunset was unbelievable!
i know they’re “just cows”, but i love them. and what i want to know is…
how the heck did they round up all these cows without me noticing? one can’t get off this road, so-to-speak, and i had just turned around to head back down the hill when i saw this… Continue reading
{thirsty thursday : roasted volcanic garlic and a snow day!}
7 Nov
i feel like i eat garlic with almost every meal. it’s so good for you, so good for the immune system and for your joints, among a slew of other things. in the late spring this year, i purchased this beautiful braid of volcanic garlic. the rep from the farm suggested roasting it with olive oil in the oven, for a very unique experience and flavour.
on it! said food and foto dot com.
i have about 5 bulbs left on the braid i purchased… the guy did say, “buy this now and it will last you through the end of the year” – and here we are {6 months later} in early november and i still have some to play with – yay!
and obviously you can use any kind of garlic. i had actually never made roasted garlic on my own, so i just had to try…
and i did exactly what the farmer told me to do…. Continue reading
{thirsty thursday – happy halloween : please enjoy responsibly!}
31 Octhey ya’ll
are you going to go out and/or dress up for halloween? i have an early morning friday, so i will probably keep it low-key and watch the nightmare before christmas or something… 😉
just wanna throw in my shameless two-cents of a plug here – please don’t drink and drive, have a DD. and if you don’t have to be on the roads, just stay in. and why not give out healthy snacks instead of candy? or better yet – do a TRICK! no one does tricks anymore, we just toss “treats” in a bag and are done with it. can you just imagine the look on the kids faces when you bust out a bunny and a hat instead of twizzlers? priceless – better have a camera… 😉 i digress.
meanwhile, i’m all for enjoying a few libations for the event :
i love to support organic practices of all kinds! 😉 this stout was incredible, and had perfect hints of chocolate throughout, with a nice finish.
i’m a fan of farmhouse ales – the bubbles, the colour, the complex flavour… this one didn’t disappoint.
brown ales just feel like autumn, don’t they? the rich flavour and the heavier body… ideal for transitioning us into the next season.
have a great night, friends! be safe!
{foto friday – “reindeer games”}
25 Octi love living with nature.
i spotted this group of deer just up the road, when i took shelby out for her first cruise after getting a new timing belt… i am blessed to have witnessed this, and to have had my camera handy.
i know they’re not “reindeer” but, the title seemed fitting 😉
these two brawled it out for a few minutes…
*bash bash*

{whatever wednesday : the aspen mac -n- cheese festival!}
11 Sepso, i spent the {long} weekend on the western slope, my soul soaring with the rockies and the clouds. my spirit begged to stay up there, so i obliged… which means i will need to return soon.
🙂
i’ll have much more to share about my trip later this week… for now, here’s a little story :
as i’m cruising the aspen saturday market, picking up some yummy wild plums and yellow cucumbers, i turn the corner and spot this large group :
it smells amazing… people look happy…
there are random lines everywhere…
and everyone is EATING!!!
my kind of party, i say… and i pause for this foto opp:
hi.
and i get distracted by the cool brick-laid sidewalks…
cuz yanno, i’m an artist… we see the world differently… Continue reading
