Thank you for letting me paint your photograph. Changed it some, still thinking about the evening sky and may change it to the greys.

I have a wonderful carving of this bird. Olaf Pedersen, carver. 1989. Purchased in a fund raiser for old-growth forests (Carmanah in BC Canada) The carving is spectacular. ❤️ #environment #ancestral #art

In the Rockies the sun strikes gold
Forest fragrances released in its fold
Lodgepole pines, Douglas fir, Engelman spruce
Bighorn sheep, grizzlies, eagles, and moose
For all the flora and fauna that teems
Its silence reflects in ripples and dreams.

The trapper’s life is rough, scant and alone
Renders an old man just taut muscles and bone
And when he quietly leaves to places unknown
The inherent stealth of nature reclaims its own

And on my West Coast Seeds’ Bee Turf! A grass alternative of native plants that is drought resistant, Schafer beetle resistant and a delight for bees. It can be mowed and then looks like fuzzy grassy.
