Aspen Acres Fire as seen from the back gate as the sun began to set. Zoomed in a bit, and the flames came into view. Just over 20 miles away. Ash has been falling from the sky. Just like all our neighbors, we’re watching this thing very closely.

Delivery day for Tami!

Tami Wozny is a realtor and writer. She needed a headshot for her business and for her new book, which she hopes to publish. We decided to shoot at her and her husband’s beautiful adobe home in Pueblo West. Of the keepers I sent Tami, this is the one that nailed it for her. Probably has something to do with the tips I learned from Samantha Hardcastle Photography (Pueblo & Colorado Springs Senior, Family & Headshot Photographer).

Thank you, Tami - and good luck!

Aspen Acres Fire as seen from Liberty Point, Lake Pueblo State Park.

🧡 Our hearts go out to our friends in Beulah, Rye, and the entire southwest region of Pueblo County. Incredible to hear reporting about the community stepping up with donations for evacuees and firefighters.

Galveston, Texas, 1972. Granddad took Grandmom and Uncle John out for a picnic lunch. They were divorced but, they always rendezvoused throughout the years. Granddad was a hobbyist photographer who loved taking portraits and painting them. He had a good eye. Uncle John was still in high school. So was my mother, though she’s not pictured in this set because at this time she and my father had already hooked up and it was adios to the southern border…

📸 I meet a lot of inspiring people working for Pueblo County Pulse. Meet Mike Marino.

🦆 Inside a quiet workshop in Pueblo County, Mike brings life and purpose to blocks of wood. His duck decoys aren’t just decoys — each one is a work of art — each one is an affirmation. In my interview with him, Mike opened up about his craftsmanship, and why he does what he does. It goes far beyond making the best decoys on the market. It goes into influencing lives and relationships. Mike also puts his faith at the forefront of everything he does, and I appreciate that.

🤔 Mike represents a lot of what I think makes Puebloans tick: hard work, humility, friendliness, family, faith, community. I’ll let you figure out the appropriate order of priority.

I’m intrigued by obscure figures in history. Francis Schlatter (1856-1896) was an Alsatian cobbler known as “The Healer” who wandered around the American Southwest performing “miracles.” He also claimed to be the reincarnated Jesus Christ. But his healings and teachings were so convincing, he drew crowds of thousands throughout Colorado and New Mexico, before his skeleton was found beneath a tree in the Sierra Madres of Mexico. However, due to his rising fame, it was rumored Schlatter staged his death and continued performing his “miracles” for another twenty-five years, but there were also a lot of imposters who followed in his wake.

My maternal granddad, John Yates Jr., also fought in the Korean War. He was an enlisted soldier in the Army, assigned to the 7th Infantry Division during September 1952 until the end of the war in July 1953. Here he’s on the left. I’d say he’s about 24 years old. Looks like he just received his CIB (Combat Infantryman Badge), worn above his left lapel.
