Doubleplusgood

I try to limit the number of photos in each post. It’s a great exercise to force myself to pick only the one or two that best represents that day. But I really liked this one of Jake. The lighting at that hour was so different from most of our other shots. Moody atmosphere. Light snow. Mist rising off the water. Black, white, grey. Monochrome except for the pink bandana, highlighting the purpose of the day.

Driving Away From Home (Wicked Weather for Walking)

Dan and I took Jake to the K-9’s Against Cancer walk today. It’s run by the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation. Proceeds go to Susan G Komen for the Cure and CSU Animal Cancer Center. How could you resist that combination when it comes to writing a check? 9News did the weather forecast live from the event. Jake and I went on air with Ashton Altieri. We forgot to tell him that we’d missed him when we were in the 9News Backyard. We brought a check for $320 to the event. Why that amount? Ten bucks for each of the 32 days that Jake has been free of cancer.

Gracias to Dan & Rick at Adrenalin for the artwork on the check! We used to work together at the Denver Nuggets. Thanks to Neil at Sign Language for printing a huge check on short notice. It’s all about the props when you do TV, right?

Denver Parks #25

The actual site of the K-9’s Against Cancer walk. Denver had a record low of 17 degrees today. I took this photo of Jake around 7:30am. And yes, we were all tired. But what a great reason to be up so early on a cold Colorado morning.

Totally random discovery on our way to the K-9’s Against Cancer walk this morning.
