Kaleidacrow #2 Bozeman, Montana 2012

A different version of the kaleidoscope-like crow image I posted a couple of weeks ago.]]>

Top Gear Bozeman, Montana 2012

I remember when I could look under the hood of a car and actually see components and parts I understood and could work on or replace if necessary. Now I open the hood of my car and am lucky if I can find the oil dipstick or the windshield wiper fluid reservoir. It really makes me appreciate the simplicity of an old threshing machine where everything seems to be simple and out in the open where it can be easily inspected and worked on.]]>

The Devil’s in the Details Bozeman, Montana 2012

Not sure what details he’s reading up on, but this may be one of those “a little knowledge” is dangerous situations (or maybe a lot of knowledge depending on how much he actually reads).]]>

Small Bounty Bozeman, Montana 2012

They’re forecasting a high of 35 degrees for tomorrow along with mixed snow and rain, so Connie finished harvesting her small, 4’x8′ garden. This is what she got from the one row of carrots she planted (minus some we already harvested and ate.) Along with the carrots she got a couple gallons of beans, a big bowl of peas (would have had buckets of them except the marmots decided they liked pea plants–pods, leaves, stems, and all), bunches of lettuce, a pile of green onions, and a couple of small beets. Not bad for a 32 square foot garden.]]>

Backscratcher Madison River, Montana 2012

I used to think backscratchers were a curious novelty. Now I have several strategically placed around the house–must be a result of spending so many years in an arid climate. If I had a neck and a beak like a pelican though I wouldn’t have the need. What a reach they have.]]>

Waking Up Madison River, Montana 2012

After roosting on some small boulders in the river for the night, these pelicans seemed to be slowly waking up and getting ready for a day of fishing on the river.]]>

The Geography of Survival #5 Bozeman, Montana 2012

I wasn’t sure that this photo belonged in the Geography of Survival series because this tree is no longer surviving. But I decided it does belong, in sort of a past-tense kind of context.]]>

No Show Salt Lake City, Utah 2012

This little art deco building was an architectural gem in the middle of a design wasteland–a neighborhood of prefab and nondescript warehouse and related industrial buildings.]]>
