Denise Hawkins

 On our recent road trip, we spent a couple days in Boulder and Denver Colorado. During one of the days an art festival was held on Pearl Street in Boulder. Pearl Street by the way is a wonderful pedestrian mall. One this day we didn't go into any shops there but stayed outside at the festival marveling at the variety of work by the artisans. Photography, glass, metal work, pottery, painting and more were well represented. 

I thought that whoever did the selection of artists did an amazing job. In each category of art, the style of each artist was different. Not a chance to feel like you were seeing the same thing over and over again. Every booth was worth the time to stop and look and take in the beauty of the work being presented. I was so tempted to buy a piece of glass work but limited myself to the photography I chose and still feel like I got one of the best items in the show.

One of the first booths we stopped at was that of the photographer Denise Hawkins. The image I purchased was so beautiful and I knew exactly where it would hang in my home. It is in the living room to the left of the TV so I can see it and smile every day.

I have put pictures of her business card here. The front gives her information, and, on the back, she wrote for me the location information telling where she took this photo. From the front of the card, you see that she has a website, denisehawkinsphoto.com, where this picture was taken and on the back that she has an Instagram account, @denisewyo.

The two things you don't learn from the business card are that this image won a first prize at a photography competition in Saint George, Utah and her husband is an expert framer. In his own words the frame is over engineered. Together they make a great team. I am so happy with this souvenir from my road trip.

 

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy! 

Pearl Street, Boulder Colorado

Yesterday was fun. It was spent with family and that was one of the best parts. My niece and her family live very near Boulder and she and her son joined us for a stroll along Pearl Street. Later we had dinner with her and her family at their home. Good food, good company and card games around the kitchen table, what more could a girl ask for?

I didn't take a lot of pictures but I have lots of lovely memories of this day.

How could I pass by without stopping to appreciate this handsome fellow? Bison are my favorite animals!

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy!
