The world needs more love. So, wherever you are, I'm sending you a Valentine - a bouquet of the last homegrown flowers from my garden. With a little monochrome art thrown in for good measure. If I could send you a hug with this bouquet, I would. The world needs more hugs too. I hope your day is filled with ease, warm food, good friends, and a little extra love. ❤️

I went to the Alex Pretti Candlelight Vigil in Grants Pass last night. It was solemn and heartfelt. Energized and quiet. Friendly and open. It made me want to sit down at a table with these folks over a cup of coffee and hear their stories, learn of their life. We need more of that in this world - just a cup of coffee on a table and connection. Until then, I hope we keep gathering like this.

Nizina Glacier, 2011 - Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.

A moment un-frozen in time. The river is always moving; braiding and carving through the canyon carrying tons of silt downstream where it will dump into the Chitina then the Copper rivers. If you flew this exact line today, it would look nothing like this. The glacier has pulled back a lot in the last 7 years, and the river goes where it wants – never in the same place for long.

Alice DiMicele and Andy Casad = pure magic.

is lucky to have these talented musicians singing good vibes into the world.
