Well… a railroad story, actually!

I am currently working on a story and photos regarding the Colorado Railroad Museum, and Donald Tallman (the Executive Director of the museum) generously sent me this photo he took of me photographing one of the engines on the 15-acre property in Golden, CO.

What a great place to visit! I had an enjoyable time talking with the people there, as well as touring the expansive grounds and photographing all kinds of railroad engines and railroad cars from different eras. I even had a chance to ride in an 1881 coach, while an 1881 steam engine pulled us around the loop on the property. Really cool. The hands-on, experiential history of the state and of the railroad industry that was so crucial to Colorado in those days (especially the narrow gauge railroads), is on full display for all to see there at the museum. I highly recommend it, if you are in the area.

I hope to have the story and photos finished within the next couple of weeks and published in The Fence Post magazine. Thanks for the photo Donald Tallman!

In Honor of a Blizzard…

The meteorologists in Colorado are saying we are going to get hit with a big blizzard tomorrow (Weds March 13). It sounds like it is going to be about a foot of snow and 50+ mph winds. People went nuts at the stores in preparation. I heard customers at a grocery store talking about how “horrible” it was at a nearby big box store due to the mobs of people and their accompanying rudeness.

It’s just snow, right? In Colorado, we’ve seen this all before. It’s not the end of the world. In fact, if you can bend your mind around the concept, the snow is a blessing. We need the moisture and a lot of families will be able to spend time with each other, since businesses and schools have already announced they are closing for the day.

So, in honor of the beautiful white stuff we’ll see blowing through tomorrow…

My story (and some photos) about Dr. Temple Grandin’s speech at the 2019 Rocky Mountain Horse Expo is now online at The Fence Post’s website. The speech was a good one and I was blessed to be able to sit down afterward and have a one-on-one interview with the world-renowned speaker, author, and Colorado State University professor. Since the 1970’s, her positive impact on the beef industry has been massive and her advocacy for those with autism (like herself) is just as meaningful.

I have put together several articles for different magazines about Dr. Grandin’s speech at the horse expo, and this one focused more on her thoughts and opinions regarding horses. An article focusing more on her thoughts and opinions regarding cattle and the cattle industry will be published soon by Working Ranch Magazine.

I hope you enjoy this article in The Fence Post. God bless.

All Bark, No Bite…

My bark is worse than – uh… wait a minute.  That sounded better in my head…

I was playing around with some textures in onOne software’s Perfect Photo Suite 8 yesterday and was able to get this look.  I like how the peeling texture gave off a look of old tree bark laid flat, especially when paired with my photograph of a mountain scene from Keystone, Colorado.  Nothing like a little tree bark art to mix with a high mountain forest.

I came across the Perfect Photo software when I found a free download of Perfect Effects 4 from onOne a number of months ago.  I liked how it worked and so I tried the free Beta of Perfect Photo Suite 8 to see what I thought.  It’s a dizzying array of effects and options to make any photography sing.  I now have the full version that was just released on November 26 of this year.

After applying this texture through the software and experimenting with it in many different ways, I’m happy to say I’m now all “bark” and no bite!

Have a great day and don’t let your horse come home without ya!
