Expectations and the Pentatonic Scale

Weiqi Gao sent a Tweet recently with this link which I found quite interesting. Bobby McFerrin uses the Pentatonic Scale to show how all of us insert our expectations and fill in the blanks.

Road Trip Photos Ready

I have gone through all of my digital photos from our Road Trip and they are now on Smugmug. Hope you enjoy the pics. I've noticed that the new version of Mozilla Firefox does a poor job with color. I prefer using IE, Chrome or Safari.

Mesa Verde

Mesa Verde is a amazing place and still a mystery. Hear my Podcast of the Ranger talking about it.

It's been great. Fly fishing on the Frying Pan near Basalt, CO, driving through the San Juan mountains to Durango, walking through Mesa Verde and learning about its history, and then off to Moab, Utah to see Arches National Park. I've taken several hundred photographs that will keep me busy for weeks. Great time with Jen, Don and Julia. Will post highlights and photos over the next week or two.

Great area to fish especially in the early morning. Will bond with the Pan next week! Just call me the "Pan Man".

Good Brothers, Good Uncles

Carl and Ordie came over for lunch Saturday and it was great to see them. It's seldom that I can take a picture of them together and especially of them smiling and enjoying one another. I have so many great memories and I love 'em.
