...a few blocks west of the home where I grew up was the site of the old Merchant's Park baseball field on south Broadway in Denver...greats like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig played in exhibition games there...by the time I was riding my bicycle down there...it had been replaced by a shopping center and bowling alley...the big building in the background was Montgomery Wards...it too...now gone...
...South Denver High School...where I graduated in 1971...is shown in this photo having the finishing touches done before classes started in 1920...
A couple more "random things" as some know me as a cat lady.
Queen LaGray. She lost half an ear doing time at the SPCA, special feral unit. It's part a mandatory sentence along with getting spayed since she was busted for prolific breeding. She still rules her roost. Here is a picture of her sitting on top of her throne. I like the void effect and her facial grimace which seems to highlight her tough nature.
This is one of my favorite pictures. I call it Cat Graffiti. The feral cats at the shop were "tagging the fence" using it as a scratching post and also making marks when they hopped it. You have to look closely. Sadly, the empty field has been developed into a storage lot for a neighboring business so the fence is no more. Glad I have this shot to remember it by.
Henry. He is Queen LaGray's grandson. An example of what a proper "ear tip" should look like. Enough for trappers like me to notice, but not lopped off like the above.
Christmas day a few years ago right before escaping Little Rock .....
.....................I took my wife to work due to a heavy snowfall. The Confederate memorial statue there on the State Capitol grounds was transformed by the wet snow giving the Soldier an almost skeletal appearance.
