We’ve been to Yellowstone a few times before, but it’s one of those places you just can’t get enough of. That it is like something out of a science fiction movie with steam vents and scraggly trees is second to the sheer beauty. We did see elk (everywhere) and a herd of buffalo in the…

A Photo a Day: Hanging around Bozeman, MT. (and oh, yeah . . . a bear)
When we’re in Bozeman, I love to shop Main Street and discover new restaurants. Yes, they’re big on bison and steaks — but there are wonderful “other” options if you’re game. If you haven’t been to FEED in Bozeman, it may be one of my favorite places. Fresh and delicious — with darling decor. I’m…
A Photo a Day: On the Lookout for Bears in Montana
Truth is, there were so many people on the trail we decided to hike, that if there were a bear, he’d be annoyed by the mild traffic. But hindsight is 20/20 and even as the day was beautiful and the vistas breathtaking, I couldn’t help but worry a bit that we’d interrupt a bear nibbling…
Quick Thought: When an idea strikes, write it down and crowd source the details.
I love personal challenges and I just thought of a new one for my blog, but I think I need a little help. First a little history: I’ve been thinking a lot about the challenges I’ve given myself since starting to blog — each with its own mountain to climb, each with amazing views and…
A Photo a Day: What good is a challenge if it doesn’t challenge you?
I almost missed it. But if you’re on the West Coast, today is still: DAY #10 I’ve been so upset and heartbroken since the news out of Nevada hit yesterday morning that I couldn’t get my brain wrapped around taking any pictures. I kept wondering what images ground us, what do we do that centers…
One Photo A Day: Peace
Day #9 Peace Heed Sunday evenings ~ Peaceful stretch of body, mind ~ Quiet reflection. I was ready to post this as soon as I got up, but my phone announced the news out of Las Vegas and I am brokenhearted and sick over how broken and sick we are as a country. May…
A Photo a Day: A Tree Mystery
Day #9 We have a large tree outside that, every day for the past month, looks like it has been through a terrible storm — branches and leaves litter our driveway and fall on our cars. Thing is, we’ve had no storms — or wind, for that matter. Meanwhile, our driveway and our cars are…
A Photo a Day: Finding Autumn on the Ridge
Day #8 Our Friday night choice was either taking in a movie or taking a hike — and after a long, emotional week, hiking our nearby ridge was just what the doctor ordered. The trail was steep and the skies were clear (even if the sunset was not as glorious as I’d hoped for). Autumn…
A Photo a Day: In between cake and song
DAY #7 Don’t have much time to write anything clever or heartfelt or funny this morning. Busy sometimes takes over. But as I mentioned in my Day #6 post, it was my daughter’s birthday . . . and so, we had the requisite balloons and flowers and cake. Mostly, though, I put aside the camera…
A Photo a Day: Playgrounds and heartstrings
DAY #6 Today is my youngest daughter’s 17th birthday and I miss my little girls. They just arent little anymore. One is in college and way too busy to call and the other is a HS senior, getting in all the lasts of everything she can before she heads off to school herself. This letting…
A Photo a Day: Finally seeing what I don’t see every single day
Headed home to grab some lunch, but I don’t have much time today before I have to be back at school for a meeting — but with my camera slung over my shoulder, as I climbed out of my car, I suddenly saw the basketball net . . . the fire hydrant . . ….
A Photo a Day: My classroom supplies in black and white. Mostly.
Day #3 (and let’s face it . . . I’m really not taking just one shot a day because once I have my camera in hand, it’s kind of irrisistable . . . but I’m not knocking the idea because heck, it’s only Day 3. I might need a few single shot days!) Today, I…
