Pocket Oasis
Just a quick post this evening. I enjoyed yesterday’s image because it presents the stark organic feel of life against the tired surface of inanimate stone. I decided to revisit the theme tonight, but in a slightly different way. Here we have the overwhelming busyness of living texture over most of the [...]
Flora Plume
I posted previously saying that I would be performing some upgrades to my site this evening, but have decided to complete only a portion of them. I have successfully installed WordPress v2.5 and it seems to be running healthily. One error I made during the process was that I somehow deleted an earlier version of [...]
The Grazers
One last visit into the images from the trip up Shields Valley, this panorama shows most of the Crazy Mountain range and gives an idea of the surrounding landscape. This image was taken a bit earlier in the evening than yesterday’s post. The light was fairly flat across the scene, yet low enough to the [...]
Fading Day
Here is another image from my outing to the Shields Valley yesterday. The sun was already past my visible horizon, but the last rays extended before me to the high fields at the base of the Crazy Mountains. I can’t tell you the difference that a single dirt road can make in providing [...]
Field in Rows

Lonely Forest
I’ve been having fun with some of these archive photos - today is another. Taken northeast of Big Timber, MT, this lone tree overshadows the Crazy Mountains in the distance. I had written previously that the image was taken in July 2006, but is actually from April 2006. I’ve not been out to this [...]
Shadow Pond

I really like how the dark shadow stretches across the land at pond-level, layered between the brightly lit foreground and background…and those clouds. This photo was taken in 2006 on the same day as my [...]
