On the Road to Freedom
Bridger Bowl, Montana
2021

Bushwhacking across a meadow on a hike, I stumbled onto the road to freedom. What luck!

Bare Tree #75
Bozeman, Montana
2021

When I look at this particular spot on a rotting log I walk by regularly on our property I am alternately reminded of a swirling whirlpool of water and the central figure in Edvard Munch’s painting The Scream.

The Opposite of Vestige
Bozeman, Montana
2021

The same table centerpiece as in yesterday’s POTD except photographed just after daylight instead of just before sunset (and it’s the real thing not just it’s shadow). I looked up antonyms for vestige but none seemed appropriate for describing the first sunlight of the day, so was at a loss for a suitably opposite title (compared to yesterday’s) for this post. I suppose I could have gone with “Dawn’s Early Light” but it’s history makes it seem too momentous a choice for this image.

The setting sun shining obliquely through one window casts the shadow of our dining table centerpiece onto the window shade across the room.

Steel Virga
Bighorn Canyon, Montana
2021

A corroding piece of blackened steel portrays rain clouds trailing virga, stretching but never reaching the ground.

Little Landscapes #44
Bozeman, Montana
2021

Another little landscape from a small piece of mussel shell from the Oregon coast. I see a dark sea crashing on the cliffs of Dover with a clearing storm above.

The Battle Between Light and Darkness
Bighorn Canyon, Montana
2021

Living in a drought-stricken state like Montana, I’m rooting for darkness in this case, at least when that darkness brings rain but not damaging hail or wind.
