I Haven't Posted Much Lately..

[coloradoamigo]

but that's what the holiday's and a wife will do to you. ;) I have managed to lurk here and there, and for a quick catchup:

Speed, great pics of the Eclipse, and a fantastic shot of you and your wife (the one with the great light). Also, congrats on being credited and published.
Ray (shrackman), great pics all around. Beautiful stuff there.
I hope Charles is feeling better.
Congrats Steve (another view), on being named moderator.
Andy (AC), fantastic shots. You have certainly come a long way in a short period of time.
By all means, use Firefox. Blow off Internet Explorer. It's an accident waiting to happen.
Penny, I hope you and Gene are doing well, and how is the job search going? I might have missed something you posted earlier.
Where on earth is Kokopeli (Brian)? This is concerning me now. Does anyone know?

To anything I missed, my apologies.

On my side, things have been going well. I've sold quite a few prints now, and though I would love to put more of it back into more gear, my wife and I are trying to buy a house soon, so alot of the money is going there. I did purchase the Nikon SB800 Speedlight, which is ABSOLUTELY freakin' AWESOME!! I just got it a few days ago, so haven't got to use it on anything worth posting, but damn, does that flash perform.

I hope everyone is having a good holiday season and my best wishes to all of you.
I'll leave you with a few pics, hope everyone enjoys them.
First one is of Mt. Elbert, highest peak in Colorado, taken from the Top of the Rockies Scenic Byway, this portion along Hwy. 24. This was taken back in September.
A couple others from the Butterfly Pavillion, here in the Denver Metro, taken a little over a month ago.

Welcome back. Don't stay away so long. Beautiful images like yours need a home on the internet and people like us to enjoy and them. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Nice work - stick around! Thanks for the congrads, too.

So, let me get this straight ... all I have to do is think about someone and wonder where they've been, and they appear? It happened with Tuna, and now you.

Good to see ya again! And Gene, I look forward to seeing Penny again. Give her my love, ok?

I think after the holidays I'll be able to post more often, other than the quick look and run I've been doing. I hate that, and don't get to be more involved in this great community near as much as I'd like to be.
Gene, glad to hear you guys are doing better. Great couples always make it through the tough times, and you two are no different.
I want to wish everyone a great holiday and hope everyone has lots of laughs, love and good times with those you choose to spend them with.

Congratulations my friend!!! Glad to see things are going well for you. I understand how hectic things can get - especially when trying to buy a house!

Congratulations on your SB-800 as well! I want one of those. One day...

Thanks for the comments, and I hope you and the wife had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

The hectic part of buying the house is a few months off, what has been hectic lately is the holiday season, work, etc. The bummer part of the "buying the house" thing is the the amount of money that has to be saved. I am also getting a rather large bonus from work at the end of January, and though I want to buy some camera equipment very badly, I have to set my priorities. I may be able sqeeze a lens out of it though, we'll see.
Hope you had a great Christmas as well and have a Happy New Year!!
