I Saw That!: May 2010
http://barbaraford2.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Working to be a damn good writer and shooter. Monday, May 24, 2010. Bailey Bridge: Unedited Version. The oldest railroad bridge in Colorado happens to be in Bailey and is getting a spiffy new facelift for its new chapter in history. A small plaque on the top of the Bailey bridge names it the Keystone Bridge. The pin-joint trussed bridge was made by the Keystone Bridge Company, somewhere in the 1880's. The bridge has a105-foot span and a16-foot-wide roadbed, and a mystery. The catalog sold bridges in kits...

I Saw That!: A toast to the evil bean
http://barbaraford2.blogspot.com/2011/09/toast-to-evil-bean.html
Working to be a damn good writer and shooter. Friday, September 30, 2011. A toast to the evil bean. Cuppa Joe, java, battery acid, bean juice, morning mud, jitter juice. No matter the name, caffeine is a mainstay of our lives in whatever form we take it and sooner or later most of us find our way to Temple Caffeine. Sept 29 is National Coffee Day. With the designation of that holiday, a confession is in order. I’ve never had a cup of coffee; at least not one that stayed with me for very long. By the end ...

I Saw That!: November 2009
http://barbaraford2.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Working to be a damn good writer and shooter. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. I was fortunate enough to meet Jeanne-Claude and Christo during a stop they made in Denver earlier in the year. I was given the assignment for The Met newspaper at Metro State College by my photo editor, Cora, and to accompany me, a young, pretty writer. I was comfortable going to the Center for Visual Art, the artistic arm of Metro's art school, having been there to see some very impressive and very awful artwork. I listened to th...

Working to be a damn good writer and shooter. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Mountain Resource Center's Executive Director Karen Verdier is go-getter and powerhouse helping those in need in the Conifer area.

Karen's a novice at throwing bowls, but her beautiful hands say there's plenty of creativity to spare. Tuesday, October 26, 2010.

I Saw That!: April 2010
http://barbaraford2.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Working to be a damn good writer and shooter. Sunday, April 11, 2010. There were no footprints in the snow.". That's how Jim Sheeler's book, Final Salute, begins. I read the first few pages of the book, sitting quietly on a Sunday morning, tasks far away. I put the book down after only a few minutes, realizing that this is a book you can't read without your shoes on. Shoes and a box of Kleenex. I would be a writer like Sheeler. Somewhere inside of me is the ability to see, a quality that I think makes a ...

I Saw That!: 'We lost everything: Kittredge resident Robert Fuchigami recalls life in internment camp in southern Colorado
http://barbaraford2.blogspot.com/2011/04/we-lost-everything-kittredge-resident.html
Working to be a damn good writer and shooter. Friday, April 29, 2011. We lost everything: Kittredge resident Robert Fuchigami recalls life in internment camp in southern Colorado. Some people used the words “relocation center” to describe Camp Amache in southeast Colorado, but Kittredge resident Robert Fuchigami calls it what it was to him: a concentration camp. On the road to nowhere. The chaos that ensued in the days after the order came down overwhelms the imagination. Internees could take only be...

I Saw That!: February 2010
http://barbaraford2.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Working to be a damn good writer and shooter. Sunday, February 28, 2010. It's hard to believe the big, antlered elk could survive the SUV's jolting impact. Dazed, the elk slowly and desperately scrambled to his feet and tried to stumble off the busy, pitch-dark roadway. He trailed off into the trees and brush, into the darkness. One by one, his harem trailed across the road, sliding through the night. Bleeding and broken, the SUV limped home. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Mission Beach, California. What ...

I Saw That!: Reflection
http://barbaraford2.blogspot.com/2011/04/reflection.html
Working to be a damn good writer and shooter. Friday, April 29, 2011. Along the windy roads where I live there are beautiful things to see. Most days I travel the back roads and sometimes drive right by photo opportunities but on this particular, stress-filled Monday morning, I stopped and spent some time by this pond. The stress is gone, but I still have the image of a quiet moment where the song of insanity couldn't find me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me on Twitter. I don't always blow ...
