This last week we have had wintry weather. Monday started with a light snow storm. As I arrived at the light rail station, I could not help but notice this lady with a colorful umbrella. I chose to make use for the colors as the main subject of the image.

Later in the week, we had several windy days. At Samson Park, the wind blew the heads of these flowers. It was far too windy to capture an image the showed detail in the flower against the blue background. So I decided to create several images with vertical blur to accent the movement of all elements in the image. This was the image that best captured the motion of the flower head.

At the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, it appeared that some gremlin had spilled water!

This was the first time that I had noticed that the flower beds had been laid out as a chess board.

This weekend was the Rocky Mountain Software Symposium in Denver. While driving to the conference center on Saturday morning, the sun was rising behind the low cloud bank. I exited the highway at the Tech Center to head the monument. This monument is surrounded by several flagstaffs. At night, the monument and flags are lit by several colored lights. On this morning, I was lucky enough to capture an image with the sun rising behind the cloud bank. A few seconds later the cloud bank thickened to hide the sun completely.

The flagstaffs usually have the same decorative flag on each staff; these flags are changed frequently. Currently, there is a blue wintry theme to the flags. The floodlights were still lit as I moved around the monument. Here we can see the red lights reflecting off the monument.

One staff always carries Old Glory, flying in the wind.

Soon it was time to make my way to the conference center to attend the first session.
