Death Warmed Over Helena, Montana 2012

All I’ve got to say is I’m glad that how you feel (like the above in my case) isn’t always the best indication of how you’re doing (quite well according to those who business is knowing).]]>

Walking Underwater Helena, Montana 2012

At least in relation to how hard it is to do  anything around here right now, I can relate to the concept of walking underwater. And apparently it’s not just me; the hospital internet as well as Verizon seems to be walking underwater today as well–or so I hear. Sure, kick a guy when he’s down.]]>

All in All… Helena, Montana 2012

Weren’t W. C. Fields’ famous deathbed words: “All in all I’d rather be in Philadelphia? I’ve never had a burning desire to be there, maybe somewhere more like an aspen grove. Anyway, this is my first POTD post actually typed after the surgery Tuesday. I’m doing fine with the new heart valve but the pain drugs aren’t exactly conducive to critical thought or good typing.

The Light of Day Las Vegas, Nevada 2012

Morning light in our hotel room when we were in Las Vegas earlier this year.]]>

Dog Mandala Bozeman, Montana 2012

Bozeman is a dog lover’s town. Actually make that dog crazy town. In fact, everyone that moves to town, if they don’t already have a dog or two, is required to acquire a Black Lab named Bridger within 30 days. O.K. maybe it just seems that way.]]>

Grass Abstract Bozeman, Montana 2012

Some grass stalks against a dark wall. I like the simple graphic design, a bit reminiscent of some Japanese sumi-e  brushstrokes, with the colors reversed of course.]]>

Off Kilter Bozeman, Montana 2012

Think how uninteresting this shot would be if it were in fact “on kilter.”

The World on Fire Big Wood River, Idaho 2012

Montana, Idaho, Wyoming; wherever I went to art shows last month there was thick smoke in the air most days. Red sunsets aren’t nearly as pretty when they’re caused by smoke. We’re still getting smoke this month too, and the fires are close to home now too. I never thought the onset of winter would seem so attractive.]]>

Pillars of the Community Bozeman, Montana 2012

Two trees along the Sourdough Creek trail in Bozeman. This shot of their smooth straight trunks would look right at home alongside some of my similar looking cylindrical grain elevator images, like this one for example:

Kinetic Art Bozeman, Montana 2012

Strangely enough, other than what’s temporarily on some rails for freshly printed photos, I don’t have have any art (mine or anyone else’s) hanging in my studio. Thus the walls look kind of bare. But the upside is that it makes a good display screen for these dancing tree shadows that move across the room in the morning. And because they’re always in motion and so temporary, I never get bored of them.]]>
