Great little thunderstorm last night to start the spring weather. The dog was less than impressed by the thunder. It brought a bit of rain with it, but we’re going to need a lot more to make it through summer without burning up. It sounds strange to say I love the rain when the rain... Continue Reading →
When I first moved into this house, I noticed a bull snake living underneath my front steps. He was pretty cool--kept mainly to himself and decimated the rodent population. After a few years, he disappeared. This year, it's rabbits. There were three--mama and two babies--but we seem to be down to just one baby now.... Continue Reading →
For whatever reason, I've always been terrified of spiders. There are exceptions, (I'll let a tarantula crawl all over my arm,) but for the most part, I avoid them like the plague. I recently drove my mom and I to a little mini family reunion, and was reminded of the fact that when I was... Continue Reading →

It's entirely possible they were there, but my teenage self was... Continue Reading →
Google Maps has made a huge difference in how I pick places to photograph. In the 22 years I lived in Montana as a kid, I never knew Benton Lake Wildlife Refuge existed. Maybe it didn't back then, I'm not sure. But since I moved back, I've been scouring the satellite view of Google Maps... Continue Reading →
My mom will outlive us all. She and her service dog walk all over town. To yoga, to classes, to the grocery store. Wherever she needs to go, they walk. They might take a bus in the winter when it's really cold, but only if it's really cold. So when she visits, she requires walks.... Continue Reading →
When I first moved back to Montana, I reconnected with an old friend from high school. He's a photographer, and he was working on documenting the Cascade County Courthouse roof restoration project for fun. He invited me to shoot it with him. If you happened to drive by the courthouse when the roof was going... Continue Reading →
