Snow
Like the paper or screen free of image
the expanse of white, then the crows land
giving life to the scenery, the language
of nature, they are joined by the deer and
the conjunction of bird...

Snow. I love how it demands that we pay attention,how we instantaneously rearrange our plans. I love how it transforms shades of gray,bleaching out shadows, leaving nowhere to hide. I love how each footstep leaves an imprint,making it easy to be found, if someone was looking.
I love how there...

Those that know me might think I am somewhat an adrenaline junky. I put myself in situations that require me to face my fears, my obstacles, and dig deep. I discover something about myself in the process, and I usually discover that there is more to me than meets the eye. Even with my ability to...

Tyler’s Truth

By the time I leave the house, the moon has already disappeared behind the rim of our hollow, but by climbing a ridge I'm able to coax him back and out of hiding. I'm not ready for day yet: I feel the need to surround myself with what little remains of the night. The moon's still-glowing face is...

The mountains outside my cabin are covered with snow, blurring the sharp craggy lines, blue in the full moon against a star spangled sky. It's the same sight I see every night as I sit here working or -- like now -- trying to download work and being ignored. There's nothing out there for me to type...

In order to see the snow before the spring thaw, we drove for hours and hours to the Sandia Mountains in New Mexico where we encountered a fairly widespread accumulation on the mountain tops and here and there along the way. We encountered our first snowfall just outside of Abilene, Texas and then...
