Hello all! Me again.
As you likely noticed, there was no Colorado Campaign post this past Friday. Yes, it took four days to offer an explanation. I officially lose “good blogger” points. Right now, I’m feeling much more like a Bashful Blogger in fact.
It’s inadvisable to walk around with your head in the clouds for too long.
But sometimes, just now and then, take a moment. Look up. See the view that exists above you.
I’ve always asserted that though Denver is a small, little city, it has a grand wish contained within it. The mountains so close to the west of the metropolis give it something to aspire to, look to for inspiration.
Look up as you walk about Denver. You’ll see what I mean in the new and old; the buildings just being created and the ones that have stood for many years.
My apologies for getting this post up later than usual tonight. It’s been a busy day of eye-doctoring and friend-meeting and fish-eating and time-having.
Today’s Colorado Campaign comes to you from Daniel Petty. Social media editor at the Denver Post by day (and often night), reporter and photographer…also by day (and often…night – I’m bad at this using a common phrase thing), he’s a journalism/photography/running/climbing/jumping fool. And I mean that in the best way possible. Truly.
So, please join me in welcoming him to the Campaign. (And when you’re through here, check out his site and Twittering ways.)

Yesterday I made a general call to you all to take a photo today from wherever you might find yourself, and send it in for one massive, collaborative, montage of a Colorado Campaign post.
Here’s what you came up with.
Today’s post comes to you from Heather M. Smith of Fortuitous Photography. She will be breaking down the craziness that is Colorado weather.
Let’s be honest, all us Coloradans have a fierce sort of pride when it comes to surviving our weather. It gives us street cred, right?
Heather sums it up nicely, so, without further ado, please welcome her!

“Wild, Whiplash Weather! You’re in for a head-spinning time! Welcome to Colorado!!”
That’s what the welcome signs placed on the highways entering our state should read.
Writing this, I completely realize it comes as no surprise to us Colorado residents…. actually, it’s become rather cliché, but outsiders be worried.
