I started this website 11 months ago, with coverage of the Democratic National Convention, and now it’s time for a small course correction. In order to free up time to work on other Internet projects, I’m dumping the MonHaibuns and Crazy About Denver features. I’ll post every day, but reviews of Denver restaurants and shops will be less frequent and more like photo-essays. The remaining posts will feature photographs and brief commentary.
Posts will still be categorized by neighborhood, but I won’t be spending a fixed amount of time in any neighborhood, and if I venture beyond the borders of the City and County of Denver, those trips may find their way into this blog as well.
I spent last weekend at a Summer Garden Photography course at Denver Botanic Gardens, which is in full bloom this time of year. I learned that I know a lot less about flower photography than I thought I did. This photograph was taken during that course, which was taught by Jim Steinberg.

It’s strange, for all 4 years I spent in Cap Hill, I never made it to the Botanic Gardens. Always wanted to go though.
I went to the Crested Butte art fair on Saturday and there were two photographers displaying “dewdrop” photos. Each one had something reflected in the drops. One had drops hanging from the edge of a leaf and each drop had flowers within it. At first I thought they were photoshopped, but was assured they were not. So, is that you and your camera in the largest drop in this photo? Nice photo, you are very good with that new camera.
Betty, it could be me in that drop–I can’t really tell–but it wasn’t intentional. I was just trying to compose the shot.
Thanks, everybody, for all the good wishes.

What an incredible photo. Just love it. Will hopefully have some time to follow your blog when I’m back in that part of the world.
Thanks, Michele.

This is a great photo.
I like the idea of emphasizing photos more in your blog, but it made me sad to read that you’re dropping the MonHaibuns.
