Gourd Brush
Tubac, Arizona
2022
I was intrigued by the little object in the foreground of this image. In trying to guess what it was, the only thing I could come up with was some kind of rough brush for sprucing up the outside of the gourds. Very highly likely that guess is way off the mark.

I was traveling in the wayback machine and came across this image from over a decade ago. It’s an oldie but a goodie taken at the Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham.

Balsamroot Curl
Bozeman, Montana
2021
This photo is from last year but it won’t be long now before this year’s crop of arrowleaf balsamroot plants dry out and start curling into all sorts of interesting shapes. In that sense they are just about the most expressive dried leaves I’ve ever seen I think.

Divining Rod
Ft. Peck, Montana
2022
Sometimes the tar patterns on asphalt that I like to photograph are so big I wish I had a ladder to climb on so as to get a shot that is more straight down rather than at an angle. There’s a slight tilt to this image but even that required that I hold my camera up high above my head and try to capture the composition I wanted without being able to see through the viewfinder or on the camera screen. Just another instance where I wish I was a little taller. Or should I say height-challenged?

Water Comb
Ft. Peck Dam, Montana
2022
A row of large concrete blocks is used to tame the outflow of the powerhouse outflow at Ft. Peck dam. It’s not clear to me why there needs to be this sorting out of the flow after it goes through the powerhouse but I’m sure there is a very good reason (besides the aesthetics, which are pretty cool).
