Thanks Robert and John for your thoughtful memories of Bob. He treasured his many friends and their shared love of nature. I truly appreciate the comments, particularly since this week marks five years since Bob passed away. Hard to believe it's been that long, while also seeming like yesterday.
Bob's Cherry Creek bench overlooks a favorite photo spot he visited every morning. One day he was on his belly in the mud photographing a huge snapping turtle and a week later capturing flight shots of teal landing on the pond. As far as the bench, I imagine him saying, "this is nice, but it's too close to the road."
