Karen and Jeff's World

While we were in Loveland for the Photo Walk, we saw information on the Loveland International Sculpture Festival on August 8th and thought it sounded like fun. When we got to the Festival, we were surprised to find two festivals going on across the street from each other. There was a huge variety of works in all mediums. And of course, the works that we liked you’d have to win the lottery to afford them.

We stayed the night after the Photo Walk in Loveland, CO to check out the town and some of the local attractions. Karen had a fun time trying out new things with her camera. At the end of the day Jeff showed her how using a light reflector changes the lighting on a subject. The post with Jeff’s pictures has more information about our trip.

Note: The titles of the photos are not necessarily the actual title of the piece. We didn’t write down the title of all the pieces and I don’t remember them all.

The photos below are by Karen. There is another post with Jeff’s pictures.

We went to the 4th of July Parade here in Monument, CO. This time we were smart and bicycled over, it’s only 3 miles. Last time we took the shuttle bus from the high school next to us. Coming back on the bus took longer than if we had walked home. We forgot that it was an election year. Well, that is until the parade started. At least half of the parade entries were political. Note to self: Don’t go the parade again in an election year.

We still had a good time, even with all the political stuff. Watching the audience was as fun as watching the parade.
