Here Comes the Sun

Have you noticed that it is getting lighter earlier each morning?  I find it much easier to get up in the mornings relying on the natural flow of the day to set the pace.  As the sun is rising earlier each day, I find myself doing the same.  I have to admit I do get a few more things done, but it is more than that.  I feel better getting up when the day is just starting, when there's the anticipation that the light of the sun is minutes away, and it's a clean page for a new day.

Now I'd better get my tail in gear so I can enjoy this new day.

Searching for Eagles

Monday afternoon was the perfect time for searching for bald eagles.  The snow had stopped and the sky was blue.  Ed and I started walking around the Prospect Ponds.  You can see a lot of bald eagles in Fort Collins during the winter.  We were equipped with binoculars and my camera with a telephoto lens.

See anything yet?

Maybe over here.

We waited and looked.  I know they were watching us, but we just didn't see them.  Only a red tailed hawk glided overhead.  

We'll try again.  But in the mean time it was wonderful to be outside.

SMILE!

Winter Olympic Update

The Winter Olympics have been happening for a week with lots of excitement and drama.  I have continued to experience my own Olympics.  My cross country event, jogging on the treadmill, is where I have recorded over 20 miles of endurance, the figure skating events have shown exceptional precision and I've completed 7 ocean wave pieced units, and the giant slalom and binding  is half way completed.  I'm on my way to victory.

This week Ed purchased for his home office a new printer, scanner, copier, fax machine. What a wonderful tool!  I can see all kinds of possibilities.

I scanned a few past Olympic photos that I thought you might enjoy.

On his way to GOLD with a record time.

It's a cold and snowy day here so I guess I will go and watch a bit more of the real Winter Olympics.
