Drawn on Water

Bear River MBR, October 2026

***

Yesterday morning, I visited  the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. It greeted me with silence interrupted only by the intermittent, unmistakable song of blackbirds. 

Immediately upon arrival, I was strucked by aquatic plants and their clear,  mirror-like reflections cutting across the surface in stark, calligraphic lines—so graphic and deliberate they demanded a pause. 

Standing there by the edge of the water, watching nature ink its own designs across the surface, a new series, Drawn on Water, was born.

Generally, life is good.

Antelope Island Under a Cloudy Sky

Antelope Island looks especially stunning under cloudy skies. When clouds diffuse sunlight, they create soft, even lighting that enhances the island’s colors and textures.
