"On the Quarry Pass Trail in Red Rock Canyon Open Space, you can walk through the Kenmuir Quarry which was operated by the Greenlee family of Denver. This was the largest quarry in Red Rock Canyon.

Ever wonder where some old sayings come from? Here are the sources of a few of them....  
 Here are some “facts” about the 1500's:

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.  
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, … (10 comments)

What motivates you to get out of a bad mood, to give it up and move on?  For me, it's usually humor.  So, if you need a bit of humor-motivation to get going this week - See if this helps! ;)  
I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila. Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.  (uh huh, go ahead. … (20 comments)

                                                          Creating an Action in Photoshop  
There are some things that you may do repetitively in Photoshop. For example, creating frames around photos for your real estate brochures and flyers. It is handy to have an 'Action' for those instances. This tutorial teaches you how to create an Action from a series of steps, and allows you to perform that series with a click of a button. We'll use 'creating a frame' in this example. See Creating a Frame in Photoshop
 First, in your 'Actions' palette, create and name a new set.

Storm clouds over the Denver area last Sunday - Before the tornado touched down.... (Darn! I missed it!)  Didn't miss the hail storm, tho - Plenty of that! We parked the car under a gas station awning, along with a dozen other people, and waited it out. The hail was the size of dimes, and two inches deep in some places! Let the green sky be your warning....

                                                Species in Peril  
Thousands of animals in the wild are threatened by extinction all over the world. Many are beautiful, some not so much, but all have a place on our planet, and require our help to survive. Some are threatened by climate change, some from loss of habitat, some from disease, and some are threatened simply because of the human desire for fur, ivory, medicines, or their meat.
As those of you who know me are aware, my passion is nature and wildlife photography. I have just completed my new website,   DBoucher-Photography.com  and I have … (15 comments)

Whenever meerkats are active, a lookout is posted. There is always at least one guard watching the surrounding area for possible danger. Birds of prey are a major threat to meerkats, which appears to be what this one is looking out for!
