A photo site I belong to has a weekly challenge. This week it is "Back to School" so, it was my intention to head down to the center of campus, let inspiration take over and shoot something for the challenge. Mother Nature stepped in, down came a deluge, so I ducked into the doorway to one of the classroom buildings, and peered out, this is my view! Whew!
The aquatics part of the Washington State University Student Recreation Center. Today at noon I was in the pool finishing up a lap swim exercise session. I'm up to 35 minutes now, on my way to an hour. I hope to make it to an hour of continuous swimming by the Christmas holiday.
On the pedestrian bridge, on the campus of Washington State University. Headed back to our abode from the medical center, where I just obtained my seasonal Flu Shot. I've been getting these for the past 25 years. The only year I missed, wouldn't you know it, caught the flu!
My day for errands. This is a stop along the road between Pullman and Moscow. Pulled off at this location for the noon shot. There is a very nice bike path (Bill Chapman Palouse Trail) between these two cities, which we've never been on! I guess this was formerly a grain terminal, it sits vacant now.
Back in "the Palouse" at our on-campus abode. The tweeties arrived in our absence. They had totally emptied this feeder, for the very first time. I love feeding the birds, and even more, I love capturing them photographically, in mid-flight. This is all the start of that process, I have to attract them, to be able to calm them to my presence, so I can capture them with the camera.
Today, we let Jessie cook us brunch at the Alma Coffee House. We enjoy visiting this eclectic establishment, in America's (USA anyway) highest incorporated city at el. 10,578 feet. It was a breakfast bagel for me, and a spicy Burrito for Diane. Excellent coffee, too, by the way
We are closing up our mountain cabin for the next four years. Most likely we will be putting it up for sale within a year or so. Today, I'm putting "Tek-paper" over the NW and South facing windows and doors, as added insulation against our frigid winds. The cabin sits at el. 10,000' and it is not at all uncommon to have winds exceeding 70 mph, sucking its way through Breakneck Pass which is just above us.
Half-way up the mountain from Denver. We stopped by the Conifer, Co. Safeway store to pick up some groceries for a couple days back at the Cabin. The views all the way up are simply spectacular, and this is a very typical sky, all the while we lived in Colorado's high country 
Today we are in Brighton, Colorado. Arrived in Denver after midnight, had an early morning pre-op over at the CU Medical Center for Diane's surgery. Removal of the Vitrial Oil put in her eye several weeks ago to repair the third detached Retina in her right eye. Exhausted, we are back at the Hampton Inn for a siesta!
