I’ve gotten snap-happy with my camera this week. I have a Nikon CoolPix S630 that fits easily in my hand. On an early-morning run the other day I took pictures of things that I always look forward to seeing on my regular 4.5 mile loop around Louisville. I noticed a trend in the pictures; apparently I really like interesting architecture and big, beautiful, “messy” xeriscaped gardens.
I didn’t get many pictures during my Saturday Morning run at the Boulder Reservoir. The clouds were oppressive and didn’t give any good light to the landscape, so things looked pretty dreary during the hour and a half we were out.
On Sunday we went for a family hike behind NCAR and headed up to Mallory Cave. The light was perfectly autumnal so I took a couple dozen pictures of the scenery and family.
I’m not up to my regular running speed yet, nor do I have my usual endurance. The swine flu from a few weeks ago sapped my energy and I’m still in recovery mode. I’m taking this opportunity to really slow down and see what’s around me, and appreciate the little things in life. Here is a sampling of what caught my attention.
Mailbox Man!
What an interesting tree. Wise looking – like Yoda!
Great pictures.
