Bird Shooting Season is Open!
I’m shooting with a camera – of course! Last week the feeders were filled to the brim and it only took about a day and a half for the birds to find us again. The brave little Chickadees were the first to appear and as always will fly up to the feeder even if we are standing within a few feet of it. Because they don’t seem to be as aggressive as the others, they have to be willing to…

A New Course!
It’s funny how when I plug in to something I really enjoy or have a passion about, going to work is something I look forward to.

Yesterday, the Oak View garden was past its peak…

Putting Down Roots
We have had quite a few friends over the years head out across the country to Portland, Seattle, College Station, TX and Davis, CA. As I see pictures of their adventures along the rocky coast, under a big sky, in chilly winters, my heart aches a little for exploration – more so than just a vacation. I long for a life-altering adventure. As a high school student I was determined that I would one day live in Montana, preferably near…
