My better half and I love nothing more than leaving the world behind and escaping into crisp air and views that take your breath away. In the mountains...where autumn begins. #black&white #utah #mountains #BigCottonwood #autumn #classicmono #hike #travel #landscapephotography

Took a day off to hike to Bloods Lake in Big Cottonwood Canyon and it was glorious! The sharp observer will notice the canister in my bag. Yes, that is bear spray. This is Utah after all! #autumn #hike #utah #foliage

The endless diversity of nature should never be taken for granted. Great earth gestures like this will always stay with me, what a priviledge to witness it...what lies beneath. #classicmono #black&white #LowerAntelopeCanyon #travel #textures

It seems like an abrupt end to a blistering summer. The days grow shorter, the sun rises later and the crispness in the evening air is unmistakable and inevitable..signs of autumn. #autumn #foliage #Utah #hike #nature #colors

I will NEVER forget being on active duty stationed at Lakenheath AB in England when that first plane hit. We thought a small plane had accidently crashed into a building but when the second plane hit...I knew right then right there we were at war. A terrible day for our country. #9/11

As I watch the world burn, happy to have made it through another week..alive. I am canvassing for a friend running for the Utah senate. But I'll tell you this: I totally agree with Charles Blow when he said "It will be on my childrens generation to forgive the people who voted MAGA, I never will"

Sometimes it is just nice to leave the "world" behind and get up into the mountains of Utah! So I took Friday off, surprised my wife at 5.a.m. and said "Let's get after it!" and we drove to Little Cottonwood Canyon over an hour away and made the hike to "Cecret Lake" on a glorious day! #hike #utah

The sweat of the hike was rewarded with total peace, not a sound to be heard but the gentle splash of my better halfs feet in the water...of lakes in summer. #hike #landscape #peace #Uintas #Fehrlake #lake

Our final day in Los Angeles visiting our son and he took us to the Huntington botanical garden. What a beautiful place and huge..you could easily spend an entire day looking. Unfortunately we only had a few hours and this was the image from the Chinese Garden. #classicmono #black&white #travel

Holding Secrets The sky is holding its breath, heavy and vast, While the quiet fields whisper secrets, keeping promises of the past to ensure the future. A pocket of stillness before the storm wakes. #LandscapePhotography #BlackAndWhite #FineArt #MoodyGrans

## ALT Text Description

**Image Description:** A dramatic, high-contrast black and white landscape photograph under a vast, stormy sky.

The upper two-thirds of the frame are dominated by a massive expanse of textured, churning clouds, with bright highlights breaking through dark, heavy storm fronts.

Below the sky, a wide, dark meadow filled with wild grass stretches across the foreground. In the mid-ground, a few rustic wooden barns and sheds stand isolated in the open field. Behind the structures, a dense, dark line of trees forms a horizon line, separating the field from the powerful sky above. The overall mood is somber, rural, and atmospheric.

A Canvas of Blue A Kestrel caught in graceful motion, wings spread wide against a clear blue sky. Calm and powerful at once, like nature reminding us that freedom can be both silent and majestic. Caught between earth and sky — pure freedom. #birds🪶 #wildlife #photography

Oops, this young man has upset the political apple cart in Utah by winning his primary in District 1! Congrats Liban Mohamed for preaching hope not hate, audacity not fear and showing we can still go forward when our “leadership” wants to take us back..keep pushing!

This ultra Supreme Court and the election of Trump has devastated the rights of minorities in this country, rights people paid for in blood. When I dwell upon today’s catastrophic ruling I wonder will minorities ever be accepted as Americans or human for that matter. Elections have consequences.
