Window Seat: Suddenly...

...the landscape alters to all-about-the-rocks. This might be a view of the San Rafael Swell, I'm not sure... whatever it is, it's geologically beautiful and fascinating!

Window Seat: Utah Mountain Autumn

Though the color in these shots leans a bit too far into the blue haze, you... Sign in to see full entry.

Window Seat: Bones of the Earth

It never fails to take my breath and raise my exhileration: seeing the Earth from above, seeing how the planet is made, how the rocks flow and shift across the geologic eons... Here are the remnants of the ancient seas that once divided east from west... now vast salt flats, old shorelines, and a... Sign in to see full entry.

A little time travel...

Looking through my photobucket, I came across two charming portraits that I did not take, but treasure: my mother's parents when they were young... Ailene was around 20 when this was taken: She was frail in those days, and her family did not have high hopes that she would live long enough to have... Sign in to see full entry.

Davy and I went for a walk near North Bend, Washington

It was a lovely afternoon last Sunday, warm but not hot, and the woods were full of sunlight and spicy green scents of ferns and evergreen resins. Davy was free to roam about, leash hanging as a safety measure. Only once was it useful, when a guy on a bike came whirring down the trail, his own dog... Sign in to see full entry.
