The Marade: We Are All Baltimore

The Marade: Speaking Truth to Power

Or where the Power really Lies:

The Mayor of Denver had refused to speak to the Crowd, because he objected to the presence of 'Black Lives Matter".  He was eventually 'shamed' out of City Hall to speak, 

but arrived with body guards.

52 Rolls: Week #7

Week #7 only had a few highlights.  Waiting for the grey skies to pass.  In the meantime a view of Hecla Pond:

The Marade #3: I'm on the Side of Justice

Are You?

Black (& Brown) History: The Marade for Jessica

Some disturbing events have occurred in Denver, and the media has completely ignored it.  The Denver Police and the Denver Sheriffs Office pay out millions of $$$$$ each year in wrongful death settlements.  But in all the discussions of Police Shootings, Denver never comes up in the conversation.  And I ask myself why?

One instance that particularly disturbed me was the Death of Jessica Hernandez:

Perhaps because she was a teenage girl doing a typically stupid teenager thing (driving a stollen car).  But I don't think you should die for being a teenager, doing something that white teenagers do everyday and get a slap on the hand for. 

Yes Jessica, REST IN POWER!

52 Rolls: Week #6

The Marade #2: A Little Irony?

The grave markers in Remembrance of those killed by the Police Across America in 2015.  A not so ironic juxtaposition of these markers with the statue honoring all the Native Tribes forcibly removed from Colorado.

Black History Month & MLK Looking Back

I attended the Denver Marade (March & Parade) on Martin Luther King Day., but never had a chane to post anything.  So we will wrap up Black History Month with views from the Marade.  See Donald's Pix from the Marade HERE.

In somewhat Chronological Order.  Above: Marching down Colfax.

I've never been a big Broncos Fan.  But I am a Peyton Manning Fan, and I wanted him to be able to Retire on Top!

Winter Continues.......No Picnics

 No picnics for the moment!

Winter Continues........

Donald and Andy (our Norwegian Elkhound Mix) enjoying the snow!

The Snow is Here!

Our weekly offering from the 52 Rolls Project. Just our usual teaser image.  The rest are Posted Here:

With all of the glass buildings, Denver in a great place for photographing reflections.

Waiting for (more) Snow Part 3

Many people here decorate their yards with old farm equipment:

The close-up (above) seemed more interesting to me than the full image of the equipment (below).
