I know that I am. Weirdly, when I started playing with photos, I found that Dad had recently scanned in a large number of similar scenes. So I decided to share them with you, my dedicated fans.
Here is a panorama of mountains taken by Dad just a few years ago.
And here is a panorama of the San Juans from our usual family photo spot between Telluride and Ouray.
As we arrive in Ouray, we always head over to Cascade Falls. Here it is 30 or so years ago. This is Rick and Denise, right?
Even this summer, when we got to Ouray, I had to catch a few shots of the falls, even though it almost always looks the same.
Between Ouray and Colorado Springs is Canon City and Royal Gorge. Here is a shot from sometime taken from the overlook now located at the end of the parking lot.
And here it is now, from the same location. Wow, the old shot has much more depth of color. Some of that may be because mine was taken in the morning and Dad's in the evening, but some must be the difference between film and digital. That is a bit surprising.
Here is Keith and Carey walking in Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, maybe in the late 70s.
And here is Mom, Dad and Kathie checking out climbers on the top of a rock in the park. I do know that it was overcast during the majority of our trip. It kept temperatures down, but it also meant many photos will not have the blue sky like Dad's did.
One of our last stops this year was Red River, NM. Here is a shot I almost did not share. Let me preface it by saying those scarves were popular back then. This looks like it was taken about 40 years ago.
And here Kathie and I are at the same cabin last week.
OK, this one did not exist when we were young. Apparently, their kids still own the cabin and have put up the memorial to their parents. Kinda sweet.

The first picture was taken more than a few years ago.
It was on our first trip to Yellowstone, in 1972, and shows the Cunningham Pioneer cabin with the Grand Tetons in the background. Not much remained of the cabin on our last visit.
The pic with R&D at Cascade falls was taken in 1981/2; Kara is on Rick's back.
The superior quality of the other pictures is due to the expertise of the photographer.
Please don't put a memorial to us in the front yard when we're gone.
We had our swingset removed today. Perfect place for a parental memorial. Next time you are over, we can take a picture of you sitting there and use that as part of the memorial.
Thanks for the trek down memory lane! Very fun!
Great pics. Love all the "historical" clothing.
You know this, right? After he's gone you don't have to do, or not do, anything he says. Yeah, you probably already knew that.
Boy, that scarf. Is there an insult sufficient for it?
