PHOTO FRIDAY Challenge....natural

It's snowing on the last day of April....It's sooooo 'NATURAL' in Colorado......

power outage, again....

It's the season of power outage!! This is the third time since last Friday and I'm quite sure that we'll have more power outage through this summer. BTW, it was not bad today. I had a cozy and relaxed moment without computer.

miracle everyday

I took this photo at the public library last Sunday. I didn't realize before that there is such a beautiful painting.
Can you bring me a miracle every morning?

sorry...

This is the guy who made lots of noise on my porch these days. I took this picture this morning, then, I just realized this afternoon that this guy made a new nest inside the wind bell that I tied under the front porch canopy last Haloween. I'm so sorry dude..... I removed your nest. Go find a better place for you girlfriend.....sorry....

snow again....

Yeah...it's snowing again. I'm so happy to see and feel snow again in late April but it was not that cold and was very wet snow. Oh, and there was a power outage this morning for an hour. It brought me a very cozy and snowy morning time, which was so good.....


This is the first picture that I do some trick on any of my photo. I really hate doing anything on the photos but I like this style....a little bit of bright color does give an accent on the calm b&w photo....

BEAUTIFUL!!



Yes!! My new laptop has just arrived this morning. I've been searching for a new one for a long time because current laptop is quite an old model and VERY heavy. This beauty is one of the lightest model in the market ....I guess.... It's Fujitsu Lifebook P5020D. Other considerations were IBM X series and Dell Inspiron 300m but this model is very attractive to me in terms of its connectivity. It has memory card slots (CF and SD, I use SD only though), external display port (VGA, S-Video.... wow), DVD, etc..... I love this machine.... Now I'm ready for writing the dissertation.....oh, boy.....

.....

For a friend who has clean and pure heart.....

PHOTO FRIDAY Challenge....self portrait

This is the TRUE self portrait of my BLOG......MOUNTAINBREAD..... I just took this photo this afternoon. It's the past and the present of mountainbread.... Are you happy now? :)

No more snow

Yes, snow is almost gone as of today but I really want more snow. This is the picture I took during the last snow bomb. The beautiful flatiron is covered with snow and mist. You can see the other flatiron picture on my Apr.7 blog below. That's probably the 'normal' view these days.....

More snow pictures...

This wonderful snow pile on the fence didn't last long. After I took this, it just melted down (or just fell) less than a half hour. Lucky...


The window of the famous Grusin Music Hall. It's a part of the music building in CU. I've been here in the building once for my friend's recitle but I really hope to be there on any Wednesday's jazz events.... sometime soon....

It's a 'MUST' for kids....


Actually, the temperature was quite high today. So, the snow was quite wet and melted down very soon. More pictures to come!!

Snow in April

Yipee.... it has been snowing since yesterday afternoon. It'll really help improving long lasted draught this area but especially...it's good for my soul. I love snow.
I took this picture just half an hour ago. Yes, I took a lot of pictures around this town this morning. I'll post some of them later.

Dirt shirt

Do you remember the younger years when you really didn't care about the dirty shirts or pants? As we grow, we care too much about ourself that is seen by others. Sometimes we just can't do something because of others....not because of us.

Back to work

I'm totally back to my research work from last night. I thought it's almost done but I just found that I have some stupid mistakes in my code.... But there IS a bright side. I found a efficient way of my interation in the code, so it'll take less computation time.

And this is the first b/w picture on my blog. I LOVE b/w pictures but I just didn't try on my blog. I remember the day I first bought a roll of ILFORD b/w film quite a while ago. The pictures that I took with that films are sill some of my favorates....

cozy feeling....

This is the picture of so famous Flatiron in Boulder. I took this this morning on the way to my office. Even though it was not from the place that have perfect view of the rocks, it was quite nice. After I finish the 'almost-final' draft of my journal paper, I feel pretty cozy feeling with Norah Jones' music. It is supposed to be crazy day until the end of this year before I defend my thesis, I'm feeling warm and cozy now....at least tonight.....

first time biking...

How many people remember the first day of their life riding a bike themselves? Do you remember the moment that all the fear and nervousness just turned into a joy and freedom?

PHOTO FRIDAY Challenge....atmosphere

I took this picture at the training ground of CU Buffs couple of days ago. Whenever I pass this field, the tall-metal light is so shining with a background of clear blus sky. Today, we already have three winter storm warning though....
