I’m a retired photojournalist (retired, but generally not tired, though a nap in a sunny alpine meadow is not a bad thing). I hike, bicycle, and photograph what I see and experience. My toddler granddaughter is my princess.

“Every day, think as you wake up…I am fortunate to have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it… “I am going to have kind thoughts towards other, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can” HH the 14th Dalai Lama (Photograph 2/25)

Thank you @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social for a great town hall! It was wonderful to see so many ppl turn out. And thanks for giving us an extra session since we couldn’t all fit! I am inspired, and feeling a smidge more hopeful. The respect, empathy, and determination you showed was appreciated!

Someday, when she’s older and if she’s interested, I’ll take her for hikes in high and wild places and maybe we’ll make our way to rocky or snowy summits and take in views from here to forever. For now though, an evening walk with her is Grandpa’s idea of perfect.

How quickly things change. In wetlands and ponds around us the spring peepers are singing their little green heads off, and crocuses and daffodils are coming up in Leah’s garden. Yet only four weeks ago I did a walkabout at a nearby farm and this scene presented itself.

A big windstorm left us with power for two days this week. Fortunately we have a wood stove for heat and a collection of oil lamps for light.

A week ago we got our first lowland snow of the season in our rural neck of the woods. Today @leahwantstogarden.bsky.social pointed me toward our first snowdrop.

A bluebird day in the mountains yesterday, perfect for a snow hike. The ramble with several longtime friends was good for body and mind, and I came home with this image for my newbie Bluesky page.

Snow in my neck of the PNW woods typically falls in the mountains, but this week we got white stuff in the lowlands. @leahwantstogarden.bsky.social made sure the winged wee beasties got some love.

Did a walkabout in our neck of the Pacific Northwest woods yesterday morning, photographing the beauty of snow that had fallen overnight. A neighbor’s outbuilding was one of the elements of this scene.

A journal picture from this morning’s walk. The coyote went one way, I went the other.
