Our 2019 Adventures

Well dear friends, all good things must come to end! This has been a summer to remember.  Having worked at Photos By Dill was a very memorable experience.  We learned so much, worked hard and had loads of fun.  Met people from all over this country during our photo shoots, and perhaps learned a bit about the family social interactions. It was amazing to see the troubles & pains so many families went through to have these reunions.  The cost involved alone is amazing.  Families travel from all corners of this country and many times from abroad simply to reunite with other family members for a few days of new memories.  Then to have the opportunity to make it an everlasting memory by taking their photographs; was a very rewarding aspect of this summer learning experience. Today was our last day of volunteering.  For the second time, we had to travel to the Snow Mountain Ranch YMCA.  A much larger branch than the one in Estes Park, w...

Hi again everyone As you all know from our last posting, we had a day off Friday.  It was such an adventure, that we felt we needed to share it as soon as possible. We visited the park again Friday to explore and learn about this Alluvial Fan .  Clicking the hyperlink at left, will answer those questions for you.  Additional information can be found here .   Our pathway up After visiting this Alluvial Fan, we began the adventure and scary ride of the "Old Fall River Road".  It is a 9 mile gravel road and thank goodness one can only travel in one direction (UP!).  It has a very steep grade and most of the road has a gorgeous view( riiiight) of the precipice on the driver's side.  It is open to all vehicles, but after completing this feat, I feel this road is for smaller vehicles and not the large trucks like ours.  That made the trip a bit more unnerving.  On two occasions, it took more than...

Hi y'all We have been working way too much and finally got a 2 day reprieve today and tomorrow.  Although the work is very demanding and so is the schedule, we're having fun and enjoying our time with Photos by Dill. It was great not having a wakeup call & getting a little extra time in bed this morning.  After a rainy day yesterday, it was great to get the sun back.  Incidentally, we had three family reunions to shoot during the rains.  That was an experience.  Last week, we went to a Big Horned Sheep presentation, at RMNP.  The presentation is given daily, by one of the Park Rangers.  Very informational! Afterwards, we took one of the many roads in the park.  This one, as you can see, it is as beautiful as all the others.  It leads to an abandoned campground that has been transformed to day use only.  Mainly for picnics.  That worked out just great for us right next to a quiet str...
