Have you ever watched the Alfred Hitchcock movie, “The Birds”?
Did it freak you out?

Celebrating Strasburg, Colorado, a small, friendly town in the plains east of Denver...
Having lived much of my life in hilly areas, I really appreciate (especially as an aging bicyclist) how Strasburg is relatively level. If anything, there may as great a danger you’ll have to downshift from wind as it will be from an incline. 🙂

It is true that there is less obvious things to take pictures of here than back in New Hampshire, but it definitely isn’t lacking of interesting subjects. You can tell I especially appreciate the cows. 🙂

I brought a camera to grab pictures, but it was mostly hijacked by my eight year-old, Augie, who gets credit for the photos below.
Not bad (if you ask me) for his first time using my Canon PowerShot G15. 🙂Continue Reading
