Why Not? – Baltimore Orioles

by Jay Hood September 17, 2014

The Baltimore Orioles have long done a fine job with slogans and videos, even if other areas of the organization could be found lacking. The 2014 Orioles have their catchy slogan with We Won’t Stop. A few years ago they introduced We’re Glad You Came to thank the fans. But none have been better than […]

[PHOTO] of the Day: Alpine Lake

by Jay Hood September 11, 2014

The Alpine ecosystem begins around 11,000 feet. At that altitude, trees do not grow. At that altitude, snow from the prior winter remains, even in August. The melt from that snow cascades down the mountain and forms lakes. The road through the alpine tundra of Rocky Mountain National Park is the highest in any National […]

[PHOTO] of the Day: Bear Lake

by Jay Hood September 10, 2014

It was our last day in Rocky Mountain National Park. The morning started with an ominous overcast sky. At 9.450 feet, the day was cool, perfect for a hike. We parked at the end of the road to take a short stroll. The number of people was commensurate with the distance from the trail-head. We […]

The day was overcast. Low clouds rolled over the peaks that surrounded the lake. The wind blew and caused small ripples reflecting the clouds overhead.

[PHOTO] of the Day: Moose Out Front Shoulda Told Ya

by Jay Hood August 21, 2014

We had seen a moose high on a hill inside the park early in the day. After lunch, we hiked to a waterfall right near the entrance to the park. Along the trail, we ran into this large beast. A much better sighting.

It Came from 2000: The Palm VIIx

by Jay Hood August 15, 2014
