Recapping the Seasons at the Hotel Boulderado

Whew! 365 days of photographing and blogging sure takes a lot of you. To give myself some time to rest, and to share a cool result of the 365 project, I wanted to do one blog post showing the exterior shots taken through different seasons. On the first of each month, I took a photo of the hotel from the same street corner at about the same time of day. These are the results.

Day 365 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Last Photo

I hope one thing is abundantly clear from my 365 Days of Boulderado Photos -- I LOVE THIS HOTEL!

Day 364 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ 360 Cubby

Most people who know me know I work out of a closet in our office, Cubby. I wanted to share what it looks like, but it's a tough spot to photograph! I finally settled on a 360 degrees shot that lets you see everything at once. To view it larger and in more detail, visit this link.

Day 363 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Boulderado Double Daylily

As my 365 Days photo project comes to a close, I've been reflecting on what I DIDN'T manage to photograph and share. At the top of this list is a blooming Boulderado double daylily. Ruth Schultz, who cultivated the Boulderado Double Daylily, generously gave us some bulbs that we planted on Spruce Street. Last summer, they sprouted and grew but didn't mature before winter arrived. I had hoped to be able to share a photo of them blooming, and I haven't given up on that hope, but it will come to late for the 365 Days of Boulderado Photos.

Day 362 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ iPod Docking Station

One thing I've learned working at a historic hotel is that whatever up-to-the-minute technology you have will become obsolete, like our radio. With that being said, I am very excited about the latest round of upgrades taking place in our guest rooms. We have begun the process of swapping out the alarm clock radios and are replacing them with models that you can plug your iPod into. Eventually (and inevitably) these will become obsolete, but for the meantime, I know our guests will love them!

Day 361 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Lobby Floral Arrangement

Every time I feel the "winter blues" coming on, I force myself down to the lobby and focus on the beautiful fresh flowers Living Interiors bring in each week. How can you look at them and NOT think of spring?

Day 360 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Oversized Wine Bottles

It's getting very close to the end of the 365 Days project here on the blog, and I'm starting to feel excitement (and a wee bit of relief). I wish that when it's over, I can crack open a bottle of champagne as big as the ones seen in this photo!
