Papaleo Best Of Year of 2019

I'm now into my third year of my terminal cancer. It has kept me from doing much photography. I only got out a few times. At the end of each year I post a blog of my best photos. Not very many photos this year. My blog has had 98,000 hits so fare. My goal is to reach 100,000 before I die. I want to thank everybody who has taking a look. Praying that I can get out a few more times in 2020.

 Last weekend I went out to photograph the Beaver Moon. The first night had beautiful light but a storm off to the east blocked the moon rise, behind the city. Went back to one of the small lakes near my home, as the sun lite up the sky. The next night (you usually get two opportunities to photograph a moon rise. The sky was full of smog when the moon came up. Will have to try again, with December's full moon rise.

Having to move down from the mountains to the Denver area, City of Lakewood, was not easy. I was looking forward to shooting the fall colors of this area and then an early snow storm rolled in, with temps in the 20s. Almost all the leaves froze and turned brown. I decided to go out anyway and see what I could find. These photos are the results of my search.

  Went to Chatfield State Park to photograph the Hunters Moon. Using a compass I located the direction of the moon rise. As it came up, I notice a pelican moving across my viewfinder. I waited as it approached the reflection area but then it just turned around, what the heck!

I got a chance to go out and take photos of the fall colors in the Denver foothills area. My college roommate, Rob Brown, was passing through town. Rob is also a photographer so we went out on a couple of day trips. The colors were pretty nice at Guanella Pass, Squaw Pass and Kenosha Pass.

It has been almost 4 months since I made a new post. My cancer really controls my life. I had to move from my mountain home of 31 years. We moved to a city of Lakewood. It's just 5 minutes from the hospital. We do have a nice park right next to us, Kendrick Lake. Walk over there last night and took these images. Hope to get out more!
