It took me a bit to get this one done. 2025 started out busy, but I finally have some time to crunch the numbers. I don’t think more than three people read these year in photos posts, but I like to have them for myself to look back on. I skipped the 52 Portraits project... Continue Reading →
Puppies! Lily came up to visit last weekend and brought her two puppies. Sally and Sam are a blast, and Diego loved playing with them for about a day. Then he realized he's no longer a puppy. His legs are just getting old, so he grumped around for the rest of their visit. He did... Continue Reading →
I’m not always a fan of Pantone’s choice for Color of the Year, but I’m kinda digging this year’s Mocha Mousse. Maybe it’s because I’m a fan of both mocha and mousse, but the whole color just feels calm and inviting. As always, there's a handful of wallpapers you can download on the Pantone site....

I had heard about the Northern Lights. I had seen pictures from various sources. But I never realized I'd be able to see them myself. When I moved back to Montana, my buddy Steve pointed out that we can actually see them from Montana. He'd always give me a heads up when there was a... Continue Reading →
The water situation at my house is unique due to well usage restrictions and the recent closure of the water delivery company. I now haul water using a 350-gallon tank on a trailer. This opens up options for gardening but presents challenges in winter. I aim to collect rainwater and supplement with city water. A video of my first water hauling trip is on YouTube.
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 →
I didn't quite nail the timing this year. Got up to Freezout too late to catch the birds leaving in the morning, and couldn't stay long due to work. I'll get 'em next year. I think I just need to take a day off work and hang out up there when the numbers are high.... Continue Reading →
Playing a little catch up with the winter weather we’ve been having. Finally got to go skiing--might be the only time this year, so we made the most of it. As I'm writing this, it's 50ºF outside, so that might be the end of winter. This is Montana, though, so we could get an epic... Continue Reading →
It was almost 40º when I took the scenic route home today. Lots of slush and mud, a few birds, and a great opportunity for black and white photography.
Trying to get in the habit of going for a drive in the evenings to see what I can see. Sometimes the sunsets fizzle, but it's always great to just get out of the house.
