Archive Dive I
Last evening I was going through some images from 2003, back when I was using my first digital camera. A 3.2 megapixel wonder, I disliked it quite a bit until I figured out how to manipulate the camera’s automatic settings to give me more manual control. After that it was a rare thing to find [...]
We Are All Hungry
I went hunting morels again on Monday with my friends Lauren and Mike. We revisited the same area as from Saturday, but it had been picked over pretty well. The problem now is that everyone in our area knows the season is upon us and the hills are full of people. Nothing [...]
Spring Crazies

Morel Booster
Saturday was quite a day. Reports came in a few days ago that morels had started showing up in the burn areas from last year’s forest fires in our region. This marks the transition from river-hunting to mountain-hunting, as well as to new species of these wonderful, crazy looking mushrooms. With my friend Andrew and [...]

On The Way
My friend Vicki and I recently took a drive to the Martinsdale Reservoir here in MT, a quiet place located as far from anything and everything as possible. As the title says, this image was taken on the way, although it might have been the way home. Low-hanging clouds, cows, a field…now that’s [...]
Hillside Meeting
Aspens are such a dignified tree. In every season they offer beauty to the landscape, jewels of contrast in an otherwise ‘conifer kingdom’…at least where I live. The West Boulder Valley is a great place to find scenes like this one and I’ll be visiting there quite a bit over the next few [...]
