Trip to the Colorado Springs Zoo

Here are a couple of photos from my recent trip to the Colorado Springs Zoo with Dana. I used my Nikon D80 and 300mm AF-S F/4 lens for all of these shots. Was hoping to get some good photos of the tigers and Lions but they unfortunately didn’t cooperate. Let me know what you think.

This Weekend at the Teva Mountain Games in Vail

Looks like you guys are getting a treat today. Two posts in one day! My hand is finally doing better and I can now attempt to type. My ring finger on my right hand still doesn’t have its full range of motion and gets in the way on a keyboard. It is making some progress and slowly getting better.

Enough about my hand. Here are the photos and some information about the event.

Soccer Game Last Weekend

Here are some photos of the soccer team I was on when I broke my hand. The doctor hasn’t cleared me to resume full activity, so I decided to watch and take some photos instead of going against the doctor’s orders. I took these with my Nikon D80 and 300mm AF-S f/4 lens. These are just a few of the shots. I think I managed to take about 400 photos that day.

Update on the Hand

I went to the doctor today to get my cast/bandage off. Here's what it looks like after it was finally free. I still can't move my fingers yet and it may take some time before that happens. I am now confined to a splint that I can take off to shower. I have an appointment to see an occupational therapist to get a better split and start therapy on Friday. Hope to recover fast. Looks like another 4 more weeks til I am fully healed.

Sand Dunes

This is a recent photo of our trip to the Sand Dunes near Alamosa. It was taken with my Sony DSC R-1 camera.

I am experiencing technical difficulties....

So as some of you might know by now, I broke a couple of bones in my hand over the weekend. Updates will be sparse over the next couple of weeks. Here's what they did to my hand during the surgery.

I hope to be back to taking photos and drawing soon!

Fishing trip in Salida

Last weekend we took a trip down to Salida to visit my parents. We did a little fishing on the Arkansas River near Salida on Saturday. The fishing was a little slow so I decided to take some photos instead. I was a good distance away with my new lens and was able to sneak in a couple photos in without anyone realizing.
