Paint Mines

Paint Mines- Calhan, Colorado.   

Sixty degrees outside, no saturation added to photos, canine outlaws, afoot in the badlands; "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"

R. Mutt

The Four Mile Fire in Boulder; September 6, 2010. One hundred sixty-nine homes burnt to the ground, over 6,100 acres of forest incinerated. Tonight we watched a performance by Nathan Wheeler, who's family lost their home in the fire, that attempted to come to terms with and understand the physical and emotional devastation of irretrievable dispossession.  Part of the musical performance was conducted on "instruments" made from the charred and melted remnants of their house and life- quite touching. 

This particular piece could have been signed "R.Mutt" or Alexander Calder.

Orchard Tractor

With the classic lines of an old Bugatti, the flashy red paint finish of a vintage Ferrari and the gutsy motor of a 37(!) horsepower McCormick-Deering engine, this 1947 tractor was certainly one of the highlights of my time at the National Western Stock Show.

Toyota Pickup

The old girl just rolled over on her side and never got up again. Like a dinosaur that couldn't or wouldn't adapt, she gave her last sigh and simply refused to climb that mountain any more.

Winter storm, Litchfield County- the wind was 'a blowin'!

Old School

For those fans of old school NC, a photo of the infamous Clark Mansion.  She's still there, sitting out in the woods, waiting, calling out.... " Huegette, come home!"
