Picaresque

Picaresque is the adjective to describe writings about a common or low character who survives the pitfalls of life through luck or good fortune. My travels, interests, my animals, my photographs, my wonderful friends and family are featured.

Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Drying off after a swim

Biking with the Olympus 730 UZ: I have decided in spite of its limitations-mainly bad lag time on the shutter, this will be my biking companion camera until I am more confident I am not going into the ditch or the drink. It did a pretty good job capturing this dandy bird-sunning and drying himself. Also watched the Pelicans diving into the lake with huge splashes. Don't know it was for fun or food but the cannonball dives looked like great fun to me. The same shutter lag prevented good shots of those.  Posted by Picasa
