Fire Season is Over Bozeman, Montana 2012

I enjoy winter weather but the older I get the longer it seems to last–so long that I’m tired of it way before it’s over.

Art in Passing #10 (Suckers) Salt Lake City, Utah 2012

I thought I would post some more candid shots from last summer’s art shows, this time from Salt Lake City. Look closely and you’ll see several reasons I called this image what I did.]]>

The Geography of Survival #9 Big Wood River, Idaho 2012

The markings of growth, age, and experience show not only in close in on a tree’s bark, but also in the twists and turns of the tree trunk itself. I wonder what event caused the abrupt turn in this aspen’s life.
