"Give me wine . . . that I may for a time forget the cares of the world." --Hafiz


Well, perhaps not.  :)

Faster, Mom, Faster!

Snow Fence


Conservation with imagination, I love it!

No Parking


But who's gonna tell him?

His Appointed Rounds


Just messing with color on this adorable little black bear cub, who was intent on following Mom and not fazed at all by cars.

Which is as it should be; it's our responsibility not to flatten him.  After all, if bears packed their coolers with snow-melt water and ant snacks and came to vacation in my living room, I'd expect considerate behavior from them.

The Romance of the West


And I'm completely smitten.

Soft Desert Morning


The arid buttes where wild horses still roam, near Rock Springs, Wyoming.

A History of Hard Labor


One of the historic first homes in the fertile but snowy Jackson Hole.  (The nearby town is Jackson; the valley itself is called Jackson Hole.  Early Mormon settlers couldn't know that this beautiful but harsh environment would someday become the most expensive place to live in the U.S.)

Herding Tourists


The only Clydesdale at the riding stable took one look at me and lay down with all four hooves in the air.  But I think he was just being sarcastic.

Condo Bronco


Release me back to the open range?  Don't even think about it!
