Spring is tiptoeing in
Spring is on the horizon! I confess these are flowers from the grocery store, but there is definitely activity in the air, and undoubtedly under the ground. A major lunar eclipse arrives soon and then the spring equinox, indicating both introspection and the turning of the page to new chapters. Doors are opening ahead. There…

The Lunar New Year dawns
This image is from the memory bank and may have been a sunrise or a sunset. Mornings or evenings, the beginnings or the endings, are often very similar and often even part of the same process. I am finding that what we see in the way God paints the sky depends entirely on our personal…

Sun setting on 2024
It’s been a long and lovely fall in our corner of Montana, with above average temperatures and glorious sunsets. My summer pansies bloomed until Thanksgiving! This photo was taken a few days ago by a friend who lives in Paradise Valley. Although it symbolizes for me the end of an incredibly challenging year, at the…

The states of the southeast in America are experiencing unspeakable devastation. The states of the Middle East are increasingly threatening and explosive. The state of politics is constantly twisting…

Ascending high hills to astounding views and descending into ranch land where horses are peacefully grazing. Finding comfort in the back sides of some of the tallest mountains, the Beartooths. Roads…

Season Shift
There is something magical and comforting when the seasons begin to change. Mother Nature has an intelligence far beyond our understanding and it still fascinates me. We begin to breathe in a little differently. People say ‘fall is in the air.’ Fans are put away and jackets and sweaters re-emerge. I find thought patterns and…

Days Gone By
Just discovered this image from about 1998. I recognize feeling very much the same and yet the world has changed, and in reality, so have we all. I’ve moved four times in Montana and landed once again in Livingston. I’ve watched children grow up and met many travelers along the way. I’ve changed careers a…
