Reading Fellowship of the Ring while sipping red wine from a One Ring glass and getting snowed upon by a Japanese cherry on a perfect spring day.

Love to friends, near and far. Space and time are fictions.

The Japanese cherry fully opened today. The last two weeks it’s been stuck halfway because of the cold weather.

Self Portrait 48"x20" - Ball point pen, acrylic, red marker on blotter paper. ~1992 Definitely some things wrong here but eh, I still like the drawing. The bottom of the drawing got wet by accident which sorta works with the water theme.

Bozeman, Montana and the Bridger Range of mountains rendered teensy by a June snow squall. You can begin to understand why Montana is known as big sky country.

Gneiss Creek trail to Cougar Cabin, Yellowstone NP, 2019.

I've never felt so alone in all my life. I hiked to the top of the hill on the left, ate a protein bar, and sat for an hour. I got so freaked out by the isolation I hiked back to the car.
