Favorite New Yummy Snacks

One thing I haven’t written about yet on my blog is food, which is a little odd because I LOVE food. My Grandpa used to tell me a story about the time when I was two or three years old and wandered off during an open house at my brother’s elementary school. Naturally, they found me at the snack table, happily chowing down. (Probably on something sweet, like cookies or brownies.)

So it’s about time I share the love. In the past couple of months, I’ve discovered three treats that make my taste buds do the happy dance.

Configuring Your Domain in Namecheap and PhotoShelter

Sooooo… I wrote this post way back in November and thought I had scheduled it to be published the following day. Got busy with the holidays, a new romance, post-holiday catch-ups, etc. And now that I’ve come back to tend my neglected blog, I find that it never got posted! Arrgh! My apologies to anyone who was anxiously awaiting this. Here it is:

Domain Issues

I’ve recently been making changes to my website, which has resulted in difficulties accessing certain pages. Any of my PhotoShelter pages which point to their former subdomain (photography.karenjoslin.net), rather than the default PhotoShelter address, can’t be found there. However, anyone who wants to see my photography can still find it at http://karenjoslin.photoshelter.com. Hopefully this problem will be solved shortly and everything will once again work as it should.

Denver Outdoors

Recently, I took a brief trip to Denver. I only had about a day and a half there, and I wanted to make sure I got in my fair share of both outdoorsy excursions and city life. And, of course, I brought my camera along.

The first place I visited in my quest to experience Denver’s natural world was the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. I had wondered why I hadn’t seen any brochures for it at the airport or hotel. When I got there it became obvious – the view of the refuge isn’t the most picturesque, particularly the side that looks onto the adjacent Invesco Field stadium and its copious parking lots. From the car, it also seemed that I probably wouldn’t see much wildlife on the semi-barren landscape. As soon as I started walking around, however, a chirping noise alerted me to an entire town of prairie dogs who would periodically pop out of their holes to watch me suspiciously and sound the alarm to their brethren. This one let me get fairly close:
