Strength in Fashion Bozeman, Montana 2014

A little over three years ago when we were moving into our townhouse, the Fashion Queen was recovering from surgery. We didn’t have much furniture yet but she toughed out the rather primitive furnishings and enjoyed relaxing by the window, looking out over the creek in our back yard. Now, we are moving out of our townhouse and she is again recovering from surgery. Even though she just got out of the hospital last Tuesday, she’s been helping with the move every day. This photo was taken yesterday after all the furniture had been moved out; we had been back cleaning up and she finally took a break to rest and enjoy that same view of the creek one last time. Her mental and physical strength following surgery continues to amaze me.

Spring Fog Bozeman, Montana 2013

This was taken just about a year ago, but we’ve had a lot of weather like this recently as well. I like fog and rain–up to a point anyway. We more than reached that point this spring, which has made the last two days of bright sunny weather all that much more appreciated.]]>

Spent Beauty #13 Bozeman, Montana 2013

Nothing like a soaking rain to bring out the colors in a rotting tree stump. Note the grass seed that has somehow landed in the middle of the swirl of color.]]>

Like a fish out of water, it didn’t do so well.

Can’t Seem to Get There From Here Bozeman, Montana 2014

I hate it when I can visualize where I want to be but there are so many obstacles, so many must-do responsibilities standing in the way, it seems impossible to get there. There’s some danger of being overwhelmed when looking too far ahead I guess. Sometimes it’s better just to focus on the most immediate task at hand each moment. If you keep putting those behind you, pretty soon you look up and you’re finally at the top of the hill where the view is great.]]>

A three-track railroad bridge over a four-lane road takes a lot of support.

Hopper Morning Wichita, Kansas 2013

If you’re a photographer and a fan of the light in Edward Hopper paintings, it pays to get up early, especially on a weekend morning when city streets are all but empty. I don’t think I captured a truly Hopperesque scene with this shot, but it has some appeal nonetheless.]]>
