Happy Wildlife

I know these are not artistic, but it's funny to watch the antelope and deer) chomp on the alfalfa, apparently joyful at human activities in the Great Basin.

Sorry the pictures are so small! 

Mountain Clouds

I love watching the clouds in the mountains... so close I can practically touch them; coming together and breaking apart.... always growing. 



the Way Down

Most of my friends are in a position to take a step down if they want change, rather than a step up.  A function of the times we are living in... 

A few Elko Sunsets

an Epiphany

there is a hole inside of you

that I cannot fill

and though 

you scream yourself out with words

useless words

it is I who stands alone

always alone

unafraid of the reflection

aging before me

Zen Thursday

I am having a day! I need a zen Thursday!!!! 

the Summer of the Indian Paintbrush

It is very hard to get good photos of Indian Paintbrush, so I normally scrap them. But this summer, good shots seem to 'pop up' all over the place. So, I think it the summer of Indian Paintbrush.

I also have a multi-year obsession with trying snap photos of snow falling, with the aspen trees bright yellow.  It is very tricky, because the first freeze turns the leaves yellow- and they fall not soon after. So it has to freeze, light snow with no wind, for me to get it. Also, getting up to the aspen trees can be a bit treacherous and I have no desire to die a horrifying death over a cliff edge to get the photo. Anyway, I hope it is the year of the Indian Paintbrush and the year of snow falling on aspen trees with fall colors. A lofty dream, I know.
