When we visited the Grand Tetons in May this year, I had dreams of seeing large wildlife. Bear, bison and moose were at the top of my list. I had never seen anything larger than a deer so I spent days researching locations in the park frequented by wildlife. My dreams came true!! Not only […]

The birds are starting their nesting so we, actually my husband, took down all the old birdhouses, cleaned them out and even made a few more.

Here are a few […]

I was reviewing old images the other day for a project I’m working on, more on that later, and I found a few that I wanted to share again. It really is enlightening to look back at older images. Some made me wonder, “what was I thinking?” and others were like, “ok I was on […]
