Enjoying Colorado (in Photographs)
I grew up in a beautiful place in a beautiful state.
I’ve known this since I was little, and it’s been nice to have so many reminders since coming back home.
It’s also amazing to return home with new photographic skills and a new interest in photography.
It gives me a different eye for appreciating all I’m seeing around me.
Here are some photographic impressions of what I’ve been seeing since returning to Colorado.

Merry Christmas!
For those of you who don’t celebrate Christmas, we hope you will take some extra time today to spend with family members and/or loved ones.
We are enjoying our time back in Colorado… though with the traveling we’re doing around the state to visit family, we’ve been running around like crazy since getting back!
We hope you enjoy this special day!

Top 5 Things I’m Looking Forward To In Colorado
I don’t really experience homesickness, because I always feel pretty excited about what’s coming up, about the future, about where I’m going next.
So this is the 5 things I’m looking forward to at this moment, knowing I’m returning to Colorado tomorrow.
This is being written from a hotel outside of San Jose, Costa Rica called the Adventure Inn.
#1. Water
-Hot Water (lots of nice, hot water in the shower)
-Tap water. At least in Colorado, drinking filtered tap water is safe, cool, and nice. Although we’ve drank tap water in Costa Rica and Panama, it’s nice to know that the water in the states is safe, whereas in Central America, I’m never 100% certain.

Our Storage Unit
I meant to post this sooner, but found the pictures while at the Hotel Aranjuez in San Jose and thought that I would schedule it to post ahead of time.
Before leaving on our travel (and actually when we started renting out our house in April), we moved a lot of our things into a storage unit.
It is climate controlled and we pay for it on a monthly basis. It’s 10′ x 5′ x 14′ tall. (For our metric minded friends, that’s 3m x 2.6m x 4.6m tall.)
We thought this would be enough space for all of our things.

The end of an era…
“I guess this is goodbye old pal. You’ve been a perfect friend…”
We’re saying goodbye to a loyal friend today. After meeting in 2006, this friend has been with us over 4 continents, through countless birthdays and holidays, many adventures, and even the occasional witness to future blackmail activities (Zach…), in fact, this friend has been with us for close to 10,000 events in the past 3.5 years.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures of our lost friend. Why, because it’s…
Our camera. Yes, after being bumped and bruised, scratched, and scraped our camera has finally given in. What was the breaking point? Well, for this camel-no camera- it was not straw, but sand. After a short drop on the beach of the turtle project, the lens cover has given up, and now refuses to open. We were able to coax it open for the last month, but now it refuses all attempts.
But, there’s good in all things right? I was going to ask for a new camera for me for Christmas anyway, so we get to celebrate Christmas early. Our gift to ourselves? This new camera we plan on purchasing at some point soon..
Our old Nikon coolpix was so good to us, that we’re going to be brand loyal and get this newer version. Can you believe that it costs us the same now for a much better camera as we got then? Funny how things work out that way. Our biggest challenge now is deciding whether to buy it now, and if we do, how to get it to us here in Central America (wherever we are then), or deciding to wait until Christmas to buy it and pick it up.

Stingray Migration Pictures
Stingray migration
(Sent by Renee Fields)
I supposed it’s possible that this is a hoax email, but just the thought of being around to see something this magnificent made it necessary to post anyway.
Looking like giant leaves floating in the sea, thousands of Golden Rays are seen here gathering off the coast of Mexico . The spectacular scene was captured as the magnificent creatures made one of their biannual mass migrations to more agreeable waters.
Gliding silently beneath the waves, they turned vast areas of blue water to gold off the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer, stumbled across the phenomenon while looking for whale sharks.
She said: ‘It was an unreal image, very difficult to describe. The surface of the water was covered by warm and different shades of gold and looked like a bed of autumn leaves gently moved by the wind.

We Are All SO Rich. Don’t Believe Me?
Maybe it’s been prompted by the news I’ve heard lately that we’re in some sort of global economic crisis, but I’ve been thinking a lot about how much wealth the average person has.
And not just in America or in the Western world, but all around the world, we have so much wealth.
If you don’t believe me, try this one on for size.
Assuming you are a sighted person…

Want to learn about Kilimanjaro?
You kind of have to speak German, but if you do, this is a truly AWESOME site about Kilimanjaro.
The reason I’m linking to it from here is because even if you don’t have any knowledge in German, you can still check it out and get a look at some great pictures from the mountain and Tanzania.
