Home Ground #44
Bozeman, Montana
2024
A few of the seemingly solid rocks in the rock walls we built turned out not so solid and disintegrated over time. In this case the hole left by one of the by-gone rocks was plugged with wish rocks that happened to be sitting nearby. (A wish rock is any rock with a solid band running clear round it. It’s possession grant’s the holder one wish.)

Home Ground #43
Bozeman, Montana
2024
Built at least 30 years ago of used lumber including stock pen rails, this ragged tool/garden shed still serves its storage purpose quite nicely, as well as providing a spot on small porch for a sit-down during a day’s work.

A foggy, rainy day with a bit of lighter sky poking through the clouds now and then.

Elk Fence
National Elk Refuge, Wyoming
2018
Bouncing around in my photo archives, I keep finding “unused” images from years ago that seem to deserve some attention. I assume this is a fence to constrain elk given it borders the National Elk Refuge, although most elk fences I’ve seen along highways are full field fence setups.
Braided Stream
Rochester, Minnesota
2025
This tar-patched asphalt reminded me of an aerial view of a river or stream wandering across some flatlands creating many islands. I took the photo shortly after it rained and oddly enough all the pavement was still wet, except for the “islands.” I’m not sure why they would dry out faster.
I like this photo but it has no great meaning to me other than I just happened to notice it on one of my camera’s memory card the other day and realized it was the last photo I took before entering the Mayo Clinic one year ago next week. It would be some six months before I got out and was able to take my next photo as a “free man”.

A Few of the Many
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
2026
We drove to Yellowstone and over through Lamar Valley yesterday. Along the way we saw probably well more than 1,000 bison. Every new view along the drive seemed to contain a small to medium sized herd (generally less than 100). These smaller groupings went on for miles. One day I hope to come across a view of 1,000+ bison all in one single view. Until then I’ll just have to photograph a sampling of the population.
