Denver L-O-V-E birds


This is my sister Mary (and y'all know me) right after we arrived in Denver, Colorado for my brothers wedding. I was so excited to wear a winter coat again and feel the cool crisp air on my face and in my lungs.

I made the "lovebirds" a painting as their wedding gift.
What do you think?


I love the texture and colors of this painting. The sad thing was- in transit a huge hole was ripped in it.


Here are the actual love birds. That's my new sister-in-law Kara and my adorable brother Ben.


They were married here on a glorious sunny morning.

The snow set such a beautiful back drop for pictures.



Look at these wicked purple shoes Kara was rockin'.

And to see my brother wearing a wedding band...weird but so awesome!


At the reception we left messages for the bride and groom on this old typewriter. So cool huh?


My cousin Alison drove 4 hours with her little girl Ella just to see us for 2.
We could all be sisters I think.


This Art Deco hotel was were Ben and Kara honeymooned and it was too beautiful not to show.



Denver is an amazing city and now holds a special place in my heart.

To my sweet lovebirds...congrats and good luck in all that your new journey together will bring.

Your painting is beautiful, of course. What a bummer that it was ripped. Alison was so lucky to see you all.

I am the kind of hombre who loves to seek original stuff. Right now I'm fabricating my private photovoltaic panels. I am doing it all alone without the assistance of my men. I am using the net as the only path to acheive that. I encountered a very awesome website that explains how to build photovoltaic panels and wind generators. The site explains all the steps required to solar panel construction.

I am not sure about how accurate the information given there is. If some guys over here who had experience with these works can have a look and give your feedback in the thread it would be grand and I would extremely treasure it, cause I truly passion solar panel construction.

Tnx for reading this. U guys are great.
