House Moe
Bozeman, Montana
2024
Forty-two years ago when we first arrived in Montana, we spent a night in this hotel. It was a cheap, o.k. place to stay even though our tub/shower setup was missing one of its sliding glass doors so you had to kind of pick the best position for the one door to block as much spray from the shower as possible. I don’t believe the place has seen much in the way of upgrades since then, but it’s still open and it always seems to be full.
Riding High
Bozeman, Montana
2024
In the funky Bohemian northeast section of Bozeman, there used to be a house with several old bicycles perched up on the peak of the roof. They were there for at least a good thirty years I think. A few years ago that house succumbed to the creeping gentrification that has infected the area and the bikes are no longer there. Sometime later this tricycle appeared on the roof of a shed in a nearby alley. I don’t know for sure why it’s there but I’ve always taken it to be a nod to those bicycle landmarks from Bozeman’s “good ole days.”

A Clear and Present Danger
Freezeout Lake, Montana
2024
I know that wind turbines pose a threat to unwary birds flying by (through) them. I also know that in this particular location the wind turbines are surrounded by many grain fields that the snow geese regularly fly to to feed. However, watching the bird coming back to the lake from the fields in the evening, it appeared to me that they were quite adept at steering well clear of the danger zone.
