Another Brick in the Wall

Sorry about the Pink Floyd reference. It's just my age showing again. Thought this one was a good candidate for a monochrome treatment, but I just love the warmth of the late sun on the new gold straw, so color it is yet again.

Windblown

The wind just howled all day here. This little guy looks like the rest of us feel...

Island Flower

Does anybody know what the name of this flower is? Shot it next to a beautiful waterfall pool on Maui earlier this summer. Never had a flower book with exotics in it...

First photo using my new pen tablet (Intuos 4). What a difference that makes compared to the dinky little touch pad on my laptop. Freedom! Never going back, that's for sure.

The Shining

No, not *that* Shining. Just a fast, wet storm coming through Lima, MT last spring.

Into the Thick of It

Inclement weather on a drive through Dillon, MT this spring. The rain in this cloud, when I got there, was phenomenal. I must say that shooting while driving offers challenges that still lifes can never match. My greatest technical accomplishment was that I stayed in my lane! But of course, I did not attempt to look through the viewfinder. So if this photo were to have any artistic merit, that would be just lucky happenstance.

Into the Light: Dual Widescreen Wallpaper

Its been a while since I built a wallpaper-- my desktop at work is getting a bit stale. Since I've been intrigued by water lately, thought I'd try something with this trickle of water going over a rock. Download size is 3840x1200 -- big enough for dual widescreens.

Water, Moss, and Energy

Snow melt from the spectacular White Cloud Mountains in Idaho has a long way to fall to get down to the valley, and it wastes no time getting there. This is a part a series of waterfalls on what will become Big Boulder Creek further down the hill. As an aside, we were a little surprised to find lakes at altitude still under ice on July 4, with lots of snow still left in the cirques and passes. Must have been an even cooler spring than I thought.
