My Dad, Brother and I took the day off work and headed out up to Butlers Gulch for a nice day hike. We climbed though the trees and then followed the stream up where the wild flowers were nearly 3 feet tall. We emerged from the trees and ascended up though a beautiful meadow where we found […]
I finally got time to work on my little pet project that I’ve been teasing you all with and I’m happy to announce, that I have released it! I’ve decided to release it under my software company, sunkencity software, so for more info, I invite you to go check out the announcement over there. You […]
I’ve tried a few time in the past to successfully get a picture that shows spiraling star trails but haven’t had much luck. Well I think I finally figured it out! I took a number of star trail photos while we were camping over last weekend, but this one was my favorite. I really liked the trees […]
We went camping over this last weekend and I had a chance to try and take some more pictures of the stars. Luckily the clouds cleared out just in time for the Milky Way to come out and bless us with a beautiful sight. I attempted to take some shots of the Milky Way when […]

I fired up the Uploader app, it said it was searching for my music and then…..No Music Found. WHAT? Come […]

Unfortunately for us here in Colorado, the winds blew in the clouds and I didn’t get to see the Super Moon. Lesson learned though, with an event like this, always go no matter what you think the conditions […]
The Follow The Setting Sun sculpture at the Pioneer Museum in Colorado Springs. It sits on the east side of the historic building giving a magnificent view. We were lucky enough to head down here when there was no one around and also with decent cloud cover and a setting sun. The old clock reminds […]
