Thursday, August 21st, 2008Colorado’s 2008 Hunting Season opens August 30 for archery. I previously couldn’t wait for hunting season to begin, wanting to bring down a big bull elk even knowing the odds were against me.

The Stormy Skies of Colorado
Friday, August 15th, 2008I decided to post some pictures I took of stormy clouds in Colorado. As I gaze at them, I get the inspiration to write poetry. Whoa….wait a minute here. Poetry??? Me???
