A Touch of Fall 2021

Got a bit behind tracking life and things to see and do and just wanted to preserve some of the beautiful places of 2021.

In any event, some images from a well known hike in the Alpine Wilderness from last year.

This next photo was from a side jaunt that ended up being several miles long... but worth every moment.

And the shot that made the whole trip for me- a moment where I remembered a photo from my childhood that spurred me to want to hike and climb mountains... and then (much to my shock) I saw the mountain in real life. 

Sacred Space - Alpine Wildnerness

The Mtns pierce the tip

of the sky with

pale blue or green or yellow

rushing mountain water

refreshing my spirit

Sacred space for my soul

a five minute reset

breath in the roar

and river driftwood

spinning in a long 

twenty-five foot circle of inches 

and watch the flat rock

Home in my hear is here

and so on

Come back again and again

Yet Another Kind of Death

The first painting in a long while. It felt good to scratch it out. And it felt good to want to paint.
