I'm going to retire this blog for a while - I'm just too busy right now. Please visit my daily blog at http://blog.v-infinity.net to keep up with it all. For pictures, visit Gavin's photo blog at http://vindauga.v-infinity.net.

Full Moon

2006-10-12T11:09:00.000-07:00

Gavin and I both spent time trying to take pictures at night while camping. This is the best moon shot I got with the point-and-shoot. Gavin did better with his "real camera".

Dead Tree

2006-10-11T10:01:00.000-07:00

From our weekend trip to Lake Sommerville.

Color Spot

2006-10-01T19:38:00.000-07:00

I need to get out with my camera. I'm running out of material. This is from a few years ago on a hike in New Mexico. It's appropriated for October 1, though.

Minute Maid Park

2006-09-26T15:54:00.000-07:00

Sunday I went to the last regular season Astros home game. The roof was open to show a cloudy sky.

Lights

2006-09-25T09:25:00.000-07:00

The roof was open at Minute Maid Park last night and the sunset was gorgeous.

Wave

2006-09-20T10:19:00.000-07:00

A wave off South Point, on the Island of Hawaii.

Approaching Storm

2006-09-18T14:44:00.000-07:00

Taken on Muddy Mountain near Casper, WY. The approaching storm later started the fire that burned 1/3 of the mountain in August.

The Pitch

2006-09-16T15:34:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago I took Gavin's camera and tried my hand at baseball photos. We were sitting WAY out in center field, so I also got to see how steady I could hold my hand. This one turned out all right.

Sunset

2006-09-12T16:28:00.000-07:00

We had a string of really great sunsets in the last month or so. It would have been better from somewhere other than the street in front of my house, but you take what you can get.

Mountain and Cascade

2006-09-09T18:59:00.000-07:00

A small cascade just below Blue Lake in Indian Peaks Wilderness. The high point is Toll Mountain.

Blue Lake

Another view of Blue Lake, Indian Peaks Wilderness, Colorado.

Good Enough to Eat

2006-09-05T08:17:00.000-07:00

Photo credits to Gavin again. That's fake ice cream, by the way.

Caroline

2006-08-31T10:16:00.000-07:00

Photo credits to Gavin for this one. Caroline in her backyard, 1 yr 362 days old.

Fourth of July

2006-08-26T19:03:00.000-07:00

Even though it's August, there were still a lot of wildflowers this week. This bunch was just below Diamond Lake on the Fourth of July trail.

Brainard Lake

2006-08-24T16:19:00.000-07:00

This is the lake we camped at in Indian Peaks last weekend. The campground is at 10,300 ft. It is one of the more spectacular drive-in campgrounds I've ever been in.

Blue Lake

2006-08-23T20:39:00.000-07:00

Blue Lake in Indian Peaks Wilderness. It's a pretty easy hike from Brainard Lake. As a result, it's not very seculded, but it's very pretty.

Tree Bench

2006-08-12T20:30:00.000-07:00

Caroline enjoys some outdoor fun on Muddy Mountain. Grandma let her hold the camera on the hike.

Twin Peaks View

2006-08-11T09:03:00.000-07:00

We took a hike on Tuesday up the Twin Peaks trail, about 40 miles southwest of Douglas, Wyoming. This was the view from as high as we went - we had Caroline with us, so we couldn't go too far.

Wyoming Thunderstorm

2006-08-07T20:12:00.000-07:00

Shot from the window of a car traveling 75 mph on our way from Denver to Casper. Awesome storm cells.

Pedernales River

2006-08-04T19:15:00.000-07:00

This photo is in my "Texas can be pretty" series. This is Pedernales River near Austin.

Viedma Glacier

2006-08-03T10:30:00.000-07:00

Looking up the Viedma Glacier in Argentina. We're near the terminus of the glacier, so the lanscape is fractured and the ice is pretty dirty. Photographically speaking, though, all that dirt really lends contrast to all the serrations.

Lost Creek Rocks

2006-08-01T06:17:00.000-07:00

Good thing I'm going on vacation this week. I'm starting to run out of material. This is a rewind to 2004, and our trip to Lost Creek Wilderness in Colorado. Lost creek is pretty close to Denver, lower in elevation than many wilderness areas in Colorado, and pretty uncrowded (at least on an early June weekend). The main attraction is the pretty impressive rock formations.

Morelia Cathedral

2006-07-28T07:36:00.000-07:00

I looked back, and I don't think this one's been up yet. Gavin got this night shot of the cathedral in Morelia, Mexico when we were there in 2004. We heard that the lights were a new improvement. It was very pretty. There was a singer in the plaza next to the cathedral singing ballads, so we hung around to listen.
