The Gift

I sit at the edge of a dead glacier breathing in the dust of a thousand years of erosion. It is totally silent except for the sound of the wind howling down the ghostly remains of the ice giant.

Good times

The previous day to this one I backpacked to another lake a little lower in elevation than this one. That evening was as close to perfect as life gets in the backcountry. I had a warm fire and I watched the light show of the universe.
Just before sunrise, a bird landed in the tree above my tent and began to call the sun. It seemed like that was my signal to get up.
An hour's climbing brought me to this lake. It was glass calm and sunny. I lay on the rocks sunbathing and enjoying the solitude. After I was fully warmed I went for a dip with the trout in the ice cold lake.
Tell me, how can life have more meaning than this?

The start of something new/old

I'm back to shooting film for a while.

Portrait of a survivor

This girl had a hard winter. Her stomach was so sunken in that it looked like the two sides were touching. She did have a young one that looked healthy enough. I'm sure they are both looking forward to the bounty that awaits them.

A weed by any other name.

Cool sunset over the city

Driving home after a cloudy day in the mountains I was treated to this sunset ....

Out in the storm

I was out in a pretty intense spring storm today, but I had these guys for company. :)
