A SMALLER VERSION

An old barn at the former Tennell Ranch. The barn is long gone, but I still have a photo or two of it and a couple of paintings as well (15" x 11"). $50.00 No longer in my collection.

BRIDAL VEIL FALLS

Took an afternoon outing with my daughter and grand kids and our foreign exchange student. Pleasant time for everyone.

STATE ROUTE 150 #4

(22" x 15") $75.00

WHEELER PEAK

Another view of Wheeler Peak.

AT 10,500 FEET

Took another day trip back to Great Basin National Park. This time I drove to the end of the road up Wheeler Peak. I wasn't disappointed. This photo fails to do the actual scene justice. It was stunningly beautiful. More so than I could imagine, (and it's in Nevada, folks.) It was almost like winter, but it's only October. Snow had fallen the first of the week, but the road was dry(still a little spooky to drive) and easily passable. When you reach the top, suddenly you see this scene. Wheeler is the second highest mountain in Nevada and reaches 13,000 feet elevation. Very impressive!

STATE ROUTE 150 #3: Forrest Murmurs

I like the interplay of diffused light and soft shadows in this scene. The lighter greens didn't transfer well from camera to computer, but you can still get the evocative mood of the late afternoon light. And a borrowed title from Wagner. (22 x 15") $100.00

STATE ROUTE 150 #2

Shady Lane. (15" x 22") $100.00

STATE ROUTE 150 #1

A nice little scene along State Route 150. I like the way these trees are arranged and almost alone in this rather tangled meadow. (22" x 15") $150

A NOVEL

Okay, I'm not a novelist, but I did write a novel, and I finally got it onto Amazon.com (with a little help from my son) in the Kindle Book category. The book is a fiction set in the future and is a tale about the Mexican Army's invasion of the American Southwest. Two characters caught up in the invasion travel from Phoenix to Tucson and encounter dangers along the way and upon their arrival in Tucson. I set the Kindle price at $3.99, so if you're interested you can search it out on Amazon. (Sorry, there's no money back guarantee. LOL)

MULE AND HORSES

I took a delightful drive along state route 150 east of Kamas, Utah to Mirror Lake yesterday afternoon. At the summit the elevation was 10,800 feet, and I was panting a bit after returning from a downhill spot where I had snapped a few pics. Very beautiful scenery, although dry conditions prevail. Some of the multiple small lakes there are low on water. Still an impressive drive.

It was a steep climb getting back to where I could see civilization again, but my little truck did the job. (15" x 22") $85.00

COMING STORM

(22 X 15") $100.00. I'm sitting here looking at the original and comparing it to the photo and, well, I know I've complained about the transfer problem(from original to blog) before, but I've got to say that the photo is much duller, especially the yellows, than the painting itself. In other words, the yellow colors in the painting are cooler and much more brilliant. Oh well, maybe you can exercise your imagination a little. $100.00

THE JOYS OF GRANDPARENTHOOD

FLEETING LIGHT

Thick clouds were scudding overhead creating almost instantaneous changes in light and shadow. I would spot a fantastic display of contrasting lights and darks only to have the image disappear before I could stop the truck and snap a picture. But it was loads of fun trying to capture these elusive scenes, and I did manage to catch a few of them.  15" x 22")  $85.00

WINTER TREE 3

(22" x 15")  $75.00

JUST DUCKY

Florida ducks at a small zoo near Gainesville. It was so hot and humid that day I felt like jumping into the pond with the ducks.

AND IT'S STILL COMING DOWN

A little surprise this morning.

TIMID TRIO

These does were near the road and didn't seem too concerned about my truck when I came to a stop, got out, and snapped several photos of them.  (22" x 15")
