Wild thing
Wow. getting back is challenging. I flunked the audio robot test. Guess I don't speak Celtic! My wife came into my studio yesterday and said, "I don't know what animal that is,,," I could only stutter, "It's a wild thing!" In classic parlance the head should be up and the body in...

Re: Sheltering Arms

Then as I scroll down, I see the suggestion of four hands holding the small bird. The scrolling only revealed the meaning of the title when I got to the botto...

Re: Ancient Souls
When I saw your muskox all I could do was grin! Seeing them is great fun. Snow can look like sand. However, snow is smoother than sand. For me the issue is really one of dimension. Where are the shadows in the snow? Are their hoofprints that can add to the image of snow? Sand flows snow stays in sha...

Re: Merry Christmas
More to the story... Johnny, the buffalo Soldier who blocked me called a couple of days ago. It seems that over Christmas he was hunting with his sons. He harvested an elk and when they were taking it out of their pickup, he fell and broke is back. He said it was only a hairline fracture, but it put...

Re: Merry Christmas

Linda as amazing as it sounds the buffalo soldier unfriended me. He blocked all my communication with him and failed to return phone calls. I'll never kno...

Merry Christmas
Its been so long since I posted some of you may have thought I ceased to exist? Life has been a little quirky. I was honored to host the president of the American Buffalo Soldier's Association here in Meeker. While he was here, we engaged in a little experiment. About 20 people from the different cu...
