Perfect Day

Jon and I ventured out from Colorado Springs to a vast park called eleven mile reservoir. It was up in an extreme elevation in the Rockies and the sky and water were crystalline. We fished for trout and landed several big fish ahead of a spring spawn. The rainbow trout in this short video was a "catch and release" in an extraordinary setting. As the video shows, the water was cool and clear and the trout healthy. This was truly a once in a lifetime outing and thankful it was captured in this short video. David

Porch Guest

This picture taken on our front porch is to be filed under "Texas Critters". He didn't flinch as I poked my camera through some vines as I'm sure his survival skills were pitching freeze over flight. Stepping out the door is an adventure as we had deer and an early morning fox in the yard. I didn't break my rule of; no pics before coffee. Hopefully we have less bugs in offering a lizard motel.

Michigan in early September

While the property in Grayling Michigan, known as "Eagles Nest", remains relatively unchanged, the restoration of the beauty of the cabin shines ahead of natural aging process. In an era where woods are imported from Indonesia and South America and "river stones"are cast from concrete, the real home modeled of pine logs and stones water and sand polished in the Great lakes formative process is extraordinary. Patriarchal patience and projects, married with an artistic eye and placement define home craftsmanship. A week in early September is truly a fresh breeze of restorative living. A contrast to the Texas relentless sun.
