Getting ready to go write about bad guys in my crime column for the local weekly paper: Cops, Criminals and Courts. It's a fun thing to do, draws on my years as a prosecutor, and keeps me out of trouble for a day.

Here are some variations on a theme. Took the original picture at my daughter's house. She has some beautiful Iris in her yard.

Worked in Pueblo today at the gallery, part of my coop agreement. Didn't take any pictures but did do some journalism shots this week. Covered a preliminary hearing in an attempted murder case and got a shot of the accused as he came up the stairs in the courthouse. Not a really nice looking guy. 

Here's a nicer shot, it's called "Flow"

Have been taking photos for the paper, Mayor Hickenlooper was in town, shot him and his 7 yr-old son Teddy. Also caught an arrest going down at the side of the highway, was able to get that and identify the folks. And yes, took some landscapes too.

Went to the lake today. The air was sweet, Russian olives, I imagine. I saw several Gt. Blue Herons, not too close though. It was just nice being outside. Sad that I saw obits in the Denver Post of two people I knew. One a photographer who used to live in the San Luis Valley and the other a nationally storyteller I met while living in the Valley. Both died too young of cancer. It's a terrible disease.
