Around Estes - Part 1

Continuing on my random blogging of random times, I'll give you the pictures from my new camera that I took when wandering Estes Park.  I got the new camera in late July, not long after I made my triumphant return to Colorado.  This will be at least two parts, cause I did a lot of wandering around Estes over the summer.  My car was acting silly, so I didn't go to far from the town. I'll probably let the pictures speak for themselves.

Bagpipes and Cabers

 
Hi! Oh my god, I am a horrible blogger.  Seriously, I think every possible blog post I've thought about starting the in the last year (and obviously didn't write) started this way.  Well, lots has happened and at the same time, nothing much.  I'll just jump in to random pictures and do something and screw chronological order of events.  Thank goodness, I'm not a linear person.  I was in Colorado over the summer and fall, and they just happen to have a Scottish Fair there.  Naturally, I went.  I mean, bagpipes and caber tosses, how can I resist.

Charity Hockey

Holy crap, I am a bad blogger!  Seriously, I've dropped the ball this summer.  Oh well, moving forward.  I got a couple of posts planned.  I've been doing things!  Yay!!!  I'll start with the Defending the Blue Line charity game in Minneapolis on the 20th of June. (If you remember I've mentioned them before)  It was great, lots of nhl players played and I went with some awesome people. (A little (very) disappointed, I didn't get Ryan Malone's (!!!!) autograph.)  It was a good game, I was cheering for both teams, but mostly for Ryan Malone and against that guy from the Bruins whose name I conveniently have forgotten as well as the former governor from Minnesota.  Without further ado (or much commentary) here are my pictures!

Old((ish), but not really) Hockey Pics...

As you all know, I discovered a fun way to make pictures oldish, it was fun, and I've been hanging out there a lot.  Just playing around with some of my hockey pictures.  Once again, you had to know this was coming, as is the case with all the other crazy stuff somehow it will all be hockey related at some point.  So here we go, my hockey pictures with more creative twist. Orrrr not. ;)

Kings @ Wild: Kings and Traitors

I've been avoiding writing this post of a month.  Playoff hockey losses sting and the minute my beloved Canucks played my almost as beloved Kings (this would have happened had they played Nashville too) the Kings became the enemy.  So I wasn't going to blog about them during the series and in the immediate aftermath I was too upset to do it.  Fact, the Kings and the Predators will always be tied for my second in the west, I can't pick between them and I probably never will be able to. But a week or so later after I've realized I am more upset at the canucks for sucking than I am at the kings for finally getting it together and being the kings we thought they'd be at the beginning of the season.  So I forgave (mostly) them (the Kings that is).  So the last night of March, I went to St. Paul to see the Kings, and this is my story.
