"COWBOY"

 

I met this character named "Cowboy" outside a Basalt bar en route to get half price Maine lobster for dinner at the lobster shack in town with my friends Melissa, Erik and Henry.  Mel and Erik know Cowboy so stopped to chat and I saw an opportunity to capture this amazingly blue eyed, wild-chops character. Great shirt, great chops, sweet glint in the eyes...

Thanks Cowboy!

Lyons Farmette

If you haven't been to the Lyons Farmette for an outside, farm style all organic dinner, 

put it on that Bucket List!! The atmosphere is amazing, as are Betsy Burton and her husband. 

AND, you get to walk the gorgeous gardens and play with the adorable baby goats. 

You must go!!

Erin Phillips- Beautiful Yogini

ERIN PHILLIPS

Yogini extraordinaire

If one were to describe Erin Phillips, I'd have to say she radiates light inside and out. 

Not only is she beautiful to look at, a physical specimen

 and amazing athlete, mom and yoga teacher, 

but her heart and soul shine brighter and more clearly than most. 

There isn't a whole lot NOT to love about Erin.

I'm thankful that not only is she a sweet friend, 

but she often asks me to photograph her. 

Fun! Thanks E

The Man Downstairs

It is a Colorado bluebird Wednesday 

as I walk Zoe-dog back from my little community garden plot. 

Every day I hike two flights of stairs multiple times to my top floor condo, 

usually with a bit of struggle convincing my sweet 12.5 year old furry friend 

that her arthritic legs can make it up 40 steps. 

Also, each day I inevitably walk past my neighbor, John, 

a sweet retired Vietnam Vet with a very loud voice and television, 

who resides ground level.  John loves to sit on his front porch and soak up the rays. 

He always says hi to me, though rarely remembers my name. 

He always speaks to Zoe and asks how she is doing 

because he can relate to the tribulations of “getting old”. 

But today his “wisdom” made me chuckle inside.

John: “Hi Cary! How’s your photography business going?”

Me: “Mornin’ John! It’s going!”

John: “Cary; I’ve been thinking about this as I sleep in my chair in there.” (John never makes it to his bed… he sleeps in his living room on his Lazy Boy in front of the TV that’s turned up high enough for his hearing aid.)  “What you need to do is to keep an eye out for a good looking guy. Then when you see that guy, ask him if you can take his picture for free.”

Me (hmmm, am I transparent? ): “John are you trying to get me business or a date?!”

John (completely unaware I’d said anything): “Then you can get his name, number, address and say you’ll call him to set a time to photograph him and his wife/girlfriend. ? See what I’m getting at? Then you can find out if he has a wife or girlfriend. Then one thing leads to another… and maybe I’ll see you walking up these stairs with someone other than Zoe. Haahaa! ”

Me: “That’s good John! Thanks for the idea!”  (Me to myself; Lol… well… guess he doesn’t know I’m already wise to this thought, but I can’t get over how cute it is he cares that I’m a single gal up there! ; ))

I think I need to start a project on JOHN. Stay tuned.

Hopefully he won’t get the wrong idea… ; )
