Clouds
I'm always up for some good clouds!

Morning View
I've spent years out on the CSE playground. Something today just caught my eye.

Had the worst round of golf at Red Hawk ever tonight...could not focus!

Another Tuesday
The next storm started blowing in this morning.

I had to get a shout-out to some of my Colorado favorites for 303 Day...I did enjoy a little Breck!

Sunset
Great sighting & nice surprise tonight. It was too short though!

The Day After
After all the yummy food yesterday, today is just a day to much on snacks and leftovers. Recently came across these two yummy popcorn flavors. Parked in front of the tv watching the CSU Rams and "How to Train Your Dragon 2." Trying to find motivation to clean and begin decorating for Christmas.

After I originally made this post, I ended up with a beautiful sunset photo...had to add it!

Fall Golf

We got rained out yesterday and today was on the chilly side. It ended up being a beautiful morning on the course. We were the first group out so it felt like we had the entire course to ourselves. Everything seemed so clean and fresh...with the clouds and fall colors it was great!

Later in the day I made my way home to Burlington for the Breast Cancer Awareness Walk.

Highway 86...more scenic then I-70 which helps keep me awake. 

They were doing construction on several bridges. In place of the token "stop sign guy" they have several portable stoplights. This was the first time I remember seeing these, but I guess they are more popular then I thought.

Crazy Weather
It was a very wild afternoon along the front range today. Fortunately, the worst of it was north of us.

Fall
It has officially arrived! I'm hopeful for another good month...have to get lots of golf in on fall break.

Afternoon Storms
Had a meeting up in DTC this afternoon. Heard the rain and thunder...when we came out the rainbow was shining bright in the east.

On the way home, found a different flavor of Oreos to try...even though it's been out for a while.

Wednesday Night League
As usual, the storms came rolling in on Wednesday night! We had to take a short break, but managed  to get back out and finish our round on the back nine.

HDR Photos
Chad worked his HDR magic on the storm photos I took last week...I love them!! I'm anxious to get some other shots and eventually start learning the process myself.

Unexpected
Well, I expected this AM to be cool...not "freezing my butt off"!!! By the time I decided to take the pic you could see blue sky.

And for the second unexpected of the day...a random, red, star balloon. I've been alone at school the last several days with the computers. When I went out in the hall this afternoon, came across the balloon...just thought it was fun!

Missed It
Looking at the cool wall cloud on the south side of Castle Rock...glad we missed it!

05.28.14

Hot!
We can officially say it was HOT today! I was disappointed that I just missed getting the Thunderbirds in this shot...they were just off to the left. Also disappointed that I didn't see the bear that was around the golf course and near our school this morning.

Memorial Day
It was great out at Bear Dance today...they had American flags on each hole. We had SUNSHINE and beautiful weather today. It was so nice we decided to go out for another 18 after we stopped for lunch.

05.13.14

The Sun
After a couple days of crappy weather, we enjoyed the sun today! It's amazing how much snow melted today...I'm hopeful that it will get the rest melted for league tomorrow night.

05.08.14

Crazy Weather
We had our first official night of golf league last night...managed to make it before any rain. Thunder and lightning showed up real late...loved it!!! We did manage to get some rain and snow overnight. Nothing too crazy, but it was really pretty this morning.










By the time I was done working out, the sun was peeking through all the fog...just thought it looked cool.

Finally, I had to post another pic from Teacher Appreciation Week. We started the morning with grits, biscuits and gravy compliments of Waffle House. Our PTO has done an AMAZING job of spoiling us this week. We had a table-full of supplies to get as well.

04.12.14

Pre-Storm
Well, we are supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow tomorrow. We managed to get out and play golf this afternoon. It was a great afternoon and then a beautiful evening (no wind around) considering the storm on the way. You've got to love springtime in Colorado!

A Day Off
With the day off we decided to take a trip to Lucile's Creole Cafe in Littleton. We discovered this restaurant last summer up in Fort Collins, not realizing that there was more than just the one restaurant. Even though I enjoyed my "Eggs Jennifer," I have to say that we were more impressed with the Fort Collins location.











After a day of wind and warmer weather, I had to include this photo...after the winds had calmed down. The one photo that I didn't include was of the golfers this afternoon.

Photo Walk & "Beauty" Before the Storm

For Christmas Chad gave me a WONDERFUL gift...a Canon EOS 70D. Alex, my brother-in-law, got me a training DVD & book. After watching some of the video I was inspired to take a walk around downtown Castle Rock. (I've lived here for nearly 10 years...have never thought about doing this.) One thing I was reminded of real quickly is that the winter atmosphere SUCKS!! I didn't get any award winning photos, but a couple that I like. Here's one of The Rock and the Castle Cafe sign. (This used to be the gathering place for quarry workers, ranchers and travelers during the 1890's.) I plan on doing a little experimenting with the color to enhance the sign...will post what I do on a later date.







Later in the evening there was a great "glow" outside. I managed to get these cloud photos. The first one is facing north and the second was looking south, just about 15 minutes later. My only regret was that I didn't have a better foreground for the second one. ;)
